Game over, Pacman

When an NFL star has to take a step down to play in the Canadian Football League, it’s embarrassing.

When he can’t even land a spot in the CFL, it’s humiliating — especially if the thug in question is Adam “Pacman” Jones.

That’s what happened to the once-promising cornberback who’s been arrested six times and involved in six other confrontations with the cops since entering the league in 2005.

This time last year, Pacman had been signed by the Cowboys after being suspended for the entire 2007 season. He didn’t deserve the gig, and finally owner Jerry Jones got a little bit smarter and released him in the offseason — along with other perennial trouble-maker Terrell Owens.

No other NFL team would mess with Pacman, so it looked like he would sign with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers this year.

In fact, that’s what he implied until the Blue Bombers said that rumors of his signing were greatly exaggerated.

Their coach explained why: “We will pursue athletes that we believe will contribute to our organization on and off the field.”

So now Pacman may have to go lower down the food chain, to the new UFL, which will have all of four teams when it starts play in October.

What a free-fall for a former first-round draft pick. And it couldn’t have happened to a nicer — well, more deserving — guy.
