Deadspin
For all the big apology full-page newspaper ads he has placed, Pac Man Jones isn't quite ready to give up the ghost just yet: He's appealing his year-long suspension to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones appealed a season-long suspension and a hearing with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell should be held within two weeks, a league spokesman said Monday.
As we've pointed out before, it's not easy to win an appeal when you're pleading your case to the very same guy who passed down the initial judgment. That said, we congratulate Pacman on delivering the letter successfully; it's not easy to mail something with "THE NFL" written on an envelope in crayon.

More likely: Pacman gets reinstated or Rosie resists a bucket of gravy? I'd say "push"
the man who introduced make it rain to white people wants back in
Fat Joe and Lil' Wayne might have a problem with that.
He should have faxed it in.
THE MAN WHO INTRODUCED MAKE IT RAIN TO WHITE PEOPLE...
Scott Storch is confused
at least the witty tags are back!
@throwbot: damnit! sorry
Seriously? I'm a Titans fan and I still hope he gets a substantial suspension. His bullshit misogynistic antics are beyond the pale.
@JebusHChrist: or maybe just emailed it directly to Rich Eisen, that seems to always get an immediate response
Ms. Pac-Man rewarded this act of bravery with her own cherry.
@HugsFromHarold: o/u on more posts added to the the man who introduced make it rain to white people wants back in tag in the next 6 months? 5.5?
@throwbot: nah
Much like white folks still don't know what it means to "skeet," few white folks who do not frequent strip clubs knew how to make it rain on dem hos.
Do you think he thinks about the Pacman sound effect while he's walking around? Womp, womp, womp, womp, womp, womp, womp, womp...
Seriously? I'm not a Titans fan and I still hope he gets his own reality TV show. His bullshit misogynistic antics are hilariously entertaining.
Fixed?
His hearing should have some amazing character witnesses...
He better wear his nice sweatpants to the hearing.
The letter was followed up by a text...
"Lemme know"
@Dieter: *few white folks over the age of 25 who do not frequent strip clubs...
fixed
All the kid needs is some guidance
I AM THE LAW.

@ArkansasFred:
With fresh kicks and a collard shirt!
Pac Man Jones: Who gets the car?
Commissioner Goodell: Me.
Pac Man Jones: Why?
Commissioner Goodell: The question is moot.
the man who introduced make it rain to white people wants back in
Back in what? BACK IN WHAT!?
He should win, but he won't win, as Commadante Goddell decides his own appeals. I can't believe more people aren't more up in arms over this whole thing.
He should save some of his money for a dry day.
@Kid Canada: Collard shirt > collard greens
Come on, people! He's doing it for the children!
Isn't this kind of like asking your mom "Are you sure?" when she grounded you for a week?
By the way, did anyone ever notice that he never actually APOLOGIZED in the full page apology?
He better tell Roger that he loves Phil Collins.
@SirWalterIII: Well, he isn't sorry. Thus, the lack of remorse or apology.
He's going to expect them to return the money that he sent along with his appeal, I'm sure. And Mr. Goodell knows what will happen if he refuses.
"pudding hatch" has now been permanently and irrevocably added to my daily lexicon
Can't he just put a red bow on his head and play for the women's football league?
Well, that envelope was surely stuffed with singles, so he's got that going for him.
For some reason I doubt Goodell calls Adam Jones, "Pacman". And if he does, then good for him.
@racistmascot_inc: I was thinking he should go the Bobby Valentine route and put on Groucho Marx glasses.
The Man Who Introduced Make It Rain To White People Wants Back In
Please. I've had "Make It Rain" as my ringtone since before the All-Star game.
@AnalRapist: In a way, you have to think Goodell likes Pac a little. He's the sort of lightning rod you need in the League. As long as Pac is around a lot of other shit goes unnoticed. Also, Pac is like his personal ATM machine.
@SlickBomb: Goodell deciding his own appeals doesn't bother me as much as Pacman rolling with a crew of hangers-on that apparently are willing to kill on command.
Advanced photographic editing equipment has formed a composite of what Adam Jones might look like in drag. The results are frightening.
This pile of shit is lucky he even is getting a hearing. Sorry to break this to you bleeding hearts, but he's not legally entitled to a job in the NFL.
The idea that I'm supposed to be "up in arms" about poor Pac Man not getting treated fairly is absurd. Goddell is within his rights, as comish, to summarily dismiss this clown.
White people think that Philip Seymour Hoffman introduced "LET IT RAIN!" to them in the movie "Along Came Polly". And, "Rain King" was from the Counting Crows. That term already had a lot of clutter before PacMan came along.
@El Knob Grande: Sigh
The Original Newspaper Ad read:
COME AND GET ME, COPPERS!
YOU FLATFOOTED LAMEBRAINED SOFT-ASSED SONOFABITCHES! NO ONE CAN CATCH ME! I'M PAC-MAN JONES!
I'M BIGGER THAN ANY JOHN LAW EVER LIVED! I'M TEN-AND-A-HALF FEET TALL AND AIN'T YET FULLY GROWED!
@apostles03:
You forgot "wocka wocka"
@JebusHChrist: once again, it comes back to Pacman dispensing cash...
@George of the Jungle: Word.

Anyone wanna listen to Todd Rundgren?
@SmedIndy: "Hello, It's Me..."
@throwbot: Maybe a reality TV Show is just what Pac needs during his year off. Keeping it Real w/ Pacman Jones?
@racistmascot_inc: Feed me the kitten.
@JebusHChrist: Colored greens > collard greens
You don't call them collard people.
