MITCH BLATT

Juiced Sports Blog over the past few years has owed a debt of gratitude to Adam “Pacman” Jones.

The kid has never ceased giving me something to post about. From his gang fight at the Vegas NBA All-Star Game, to his wrestling career, to his ongoing arguments with media organizations over how many times he’s been arrested (“I’ve only been arrested twice.”).

When he was suspended for the entire season and subsequently released by the Dallas Cowboys last January, I thought he was done for good, but now the Bengals have signed him.

He joins a franchise with a storied history–recent history–of stars like Chris Henry, Tank Johnson, AJ Nicholson, and some other famous criminals. (Good news: Tank Johnson says Pacman is ecstatic to join the crew.)

He was supposed to play in the CFL last year, but the Blue Bombers pulled out of the deal without much media coverage. “It is unfortunate that this situation became public,” the coach said in a short USA Today article. According to Wikipedia, Jones made some comments in a video, including “calling the league the United Football League when it is in fact the Canadian Football League.” (That’s grounds for not playing?)

So when are the Bengals going to trade for Ben Roethlisberger?

Speaking of him, I found this article from last October in which an employee of a nightclub claims that she was fired for demanding to see ID for one of Roethlisberger’s underage gal pals.
