Don Imus and Punkman Jones

If you’re like me, you're outraged at the latest insensitive remark from shock-jock Don Imus.

No, not the charges that Imus made another racist comment about NFL cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones.

What ticked me off what the nonsense Imus uttered in trying to defend himself:

“I mean, there’s no reason to arrest this kid six times," Imus said about Pacman. "Maybe he did something once, but everyone does something once.”

Clang! What planet does Imus live on?

There were very good reasons “to arrest this kid six times.” He’s a punk. He's a felony waiting to happen. Hell, he probably should have been arrested 60 times.

Check out Pacman’s rap sheet on Bumpshack.com. It’s too long to list here.

Pacman is not a victim of anything but his own stupidity.

As this site put it so well, “Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones is the poster child for everything that is wrong with the NFL. NFL teams continue to draft thugs and convicts without regarding for their moral character or criminal record.”

Take that, I-man.

And once again, isn’t it a shame that a franchise that once had such upright stars as Roger Staubach and Emmitt Smith has taken to gleefully signing misfits like Terrell Owens, Tank Johnson and now Pacman Jones?
