Imus and Pacman going at it? My stories practically write themselves with this one.

SCOTT JACOBS

Don Imus says he was being his good ol’ sarcastic self. Pacman (whoops, I mean “Adam don’t call me Pacman no more Jones”) doesn’t like his racist remark.

Me? Well, this is a match made in blog lover heaven.

Jones vs. Imus in who’s the smaller piece of crap. Drew Carey hosts. Episode 1 airs on the Fox Network August 2008…

Okay, in all seriousness, this has to go down as one of the most ridiculous “hey,I’m not the bad guy here,” stories of 2008.

Jones, the former Titan Corner who was arrested so many times, they needed a new team to pick up the tab versus Imus and his band of nappy headed… you know the drill.

This whole feud started when Imus talked about the arrests of the troubled corner, saying “What color is he?” only to have his announcer proclaim, “African American,” leading Imus to state, “well there you go.”

People were outraged. I guess the whole Rutgers thing didn’t really help Imus’ case.

Well, today Jones shot back, giving us the quote of 2008 so far if you ask me:

“I’m truly upset about the comments,” Jones said. “Obviously Mr. Imus has problems with African-Americans. I’m upset, and I hope the station he works for handles it accordingly. I will pray for him.”

Jones will pray for Imus? That quote is so good it just isn’t even fair.

I’m not even taking a stance on this whole debacle. And I’m not downplaying Jones’ quote about how Imus has problems with black people. He seems to have problems with a lot of people. Just the fact, that Jones, who has had so many problems he practically has a page on this site dedicated to the tens of stories we’ve had about him, would say that he’ll pray for Imus is fodder you just can’t make up.

Jones, don’t waste your time. Imus ain’t worth it. And you need to save every last one of those prayers that Roger Goodell re-instates you.

Now it should be noted Imus was taken out of context. Of course he was. O wait, those were his words not mine. Imus’ apology today:

“What people should be outraged about is that they arrest blacks for no reason,” Imus said Tuesday. “I mean, there’s no reason to arrest this kid six times. Maybe he did something once, but everyone does something once.”

Imus also added he was trying to “make a sarcastic point.”

I didn’t listen to his radio show, never have in my life, so maybe he really does want to go on a crusade to help the embattled black athlete. Or maybe he’s full of crap. Who knows.

But the nut-job of 2007 (Imus) feuding with the oft-arrested ‘doesn’t seem to get it’ person of 2008 (Jones) is a classic tangle of almost too much to handle.

It’s just ridiculous.

Watching these two go at it is about as hard to take seriously as anything from Semi Pro. You want to get involved, you want to take a side, but the story is so ridiculous, you’re sort of left speechless.

If I had to give my initial reaction it would be that Imus is a moron who doesn’t get it.

After hearing his apology today I can actually see where he might be coming from.

But watching these two slug it out in the public eye to get us to take a side, well, that’s just not going to happen.

Both guys have issues. Imus says whatever comes to his head, and doesn’t get the concept that one simple quote can royally screw you over. Jones is trying to revamp his image, starting with the animated video game character

Whichever side you take, its hard to say that anything, not even the on it’s death bed revitalization of the Shaq-Kobe feud can top this gem.

And that’s pretty much the only opinion that really needs to be said.
