In Exile
Pacman Jones
August 27, 2007
LAST WEEK NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reminded
everyone that Michael Vick hasn't made him forget about another of the league's
high-profile miscreants, suspended Titans cornerback Pacman Jones. "I've
said to Pacman ... 'You have to earn your way back into the National Football
League,'" Goodell said. "I was disappointed with some of the activities
that Pacman got involved [with] this spring." That hasn't stopped Jones
(suspended for the 2007 season) from dabbling in all the usual activities of a
moonlighting jock. On Aug. 12 he took part in a TNA wrestling event, and last
week he said he and rap producer Spoaty will team up on a single called Let It
Shine. The duo will be called Posterboyz, and the track will be distributed by
Jones's National Street League Records. But even that's a problem: The NFL is
looking into whether Jones's label name—the NSL—infringes on league
copyrights.
