Sorry, Pacman, You Have Only Been Arrested Twice
MITCHELL BLATT
As a blogger, I feel I am responsible for what I say, and I must take the blame when I write something untrue. (No, seriously.)
Well, I must appologize to Pacman Jones. He was alleged to be involved in a strip club fight, and, just because he already had six prior arrests, I jumped to the conclusion that he was guilty.
First, I would like to appologize for saying Pacman has been arrested six times. While credible sources like ESPN have credited him with six arrests, he himself says he was only arrested twice.
Either way, his arrests are still in the single digits, and he’s been in the NFL three whole years. He was up for arrest number seven after a women decided to ask for a warrant against him.
That warrant has since been withdrawn.
Now, this does not necessarily mean that the assault never happened, but, as hard as it is to say, I’m actually taking Pacman’s side on this.
The whole story seemed pretty phony (except for the part about Pacman fighting). Why would a divorce lawyer involved in Pacman’s case be at a strip club to work on the divorce case?
She was allegedly assaulted on January 3 then filed a police complaint yesterday then withdrew it today. If you have an entire two weeks to think about whether you want to file, why would you pull it one day after filing?
Maybe she just had something against Pacman as a divorce lawyer going against him.
Then again, all of this is just my opinion, and I might be wrong just like I was yesterday about Pacman.
When I added the final line to yesterday’s article–”With all “alleged” charges, you can’t say anything for certain, but I am pretty certain…”–I was more or less joking. I thought the Pac did it.
I thought at the time that the story was a little fishy, but hey, it’s Pacman Jones, crazy stuff always happens to him.
Well, he might have not gotten involved in a fight there, but the fact that it’s so believable that he did illustrates his problems…
Randy Moss Also Accused of Assault
An angel by comparison, Randy Moss has been accused of assaulting a women, too. I also don’t think he did it.
He allegedly assaulted this women on January 6, but he says the women is commiting extortion and asked for “six figures” before she came forward.
In a vehament defense, Moss said:
“Last Friday, this man wanted to come out with it,” Moss said, apparently referring to someone siding with Washington, “just to try to distract the team and distract me.
“There was much more said, a lot of verbal, a lot of cuss words, a lot of things that I should be doing. You better do this or else. … Well, I thought it was bad because now you’re threatening me, so I brought it to coach.”
He said Patriots coach Bill Belichick told him to focus on football.
“They’re false allegations, something I’ve been battling for like the last couple of days of threats going public if I didn’t pay X amount of dollars,” Moss said. “So before people rush quick to judgment, I think you need to find out the facts about, really, what’s going on.
“This young lady by no means is hurt. I didn’t hurt her.”
Certainly not the kind of “Never happened” defense that Roger Clemens offered us on 60 minutes: Clemens Defense
I just don’t think you can come up with that elaborate of a story on a week’s notice and express it as authoritatively as Moss did. Especially considering how poorly he defended himself against past allegations.
So, those are just my thoughts. I could be wrong.
