?Pacman? needs to pack it up

Hopefully, by the time you read this, the Tennessee Titans organization will have already cut Adam ?Pacman? Jones.

Last year?s first-round draft pick proved mediocre on his best days last year; that is, after he finally decided he?d come to camp and join his teammates.

And although he may have come in looking like ?Prime Time,? with the long dreds and the attitude, he ended up looking like just another rerun.

Add that to his ever-increasing amount of off-the-field trouble, and ?Pacman? is looking more and more like a bust ? and the quick, easy way to get rid of the trouble, is to get rid of the player.

In the past week, Jones has been involved in two incidents involving Metro?s finest.

Last week, a major drug sting in Nashville resulted in the seizure of over 1,600 pounds of marijuana, 128 pounds of cocaine ? and a Cadillac XLT with ?PAC-MAN? embroidered on the front seats.

Jones? attorney told police the car didn?t belong to ?Pacman,? but Jones himself told reporters ? before absolutely losing his composure and laying down a heavy line of threats ? that yes, the car was his, and he?d loaned it to a friend to use in a music video. The friend in question was, as it turns out, the Tony Montana of Davidson County, and the major target of the drug enforcement operation.

So is ?Pacman? a drug dealer? No one can say, and no evidence points to that fact. But does he associate with drug dealers? Looks like he does, doesn?t it? Do the Titans want ? or need ? those kinds of ?friends??

Not content to lay low, and let the heat die down from his being associated with the drug sting, ?Pacman? found himself in the wrong place, at the really, really wrong time again on Wednesday morning.

Jones was hanging out in a gas station parking lot with a dozen or so of his buddies in the wee hours of the a.m., when a fight broke out and shots were eventually fired.

Fortunately, no one was injured, and Jones is not suspected as being involved in the firing of the shots, according to Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron.

But once again, what was he doing hanging around a gas station at 2 in the morning in the first place? As a professional athlete, he?s more wealthy than pretty much anybody reading this piece (and definitely the person writing it) could ever hope to be. And he?s chilling in front of the Gas N? Gulp with a dozen people, at least one of which is armed.

So put yourself in Floyd Reese?s shoes. Do you want this guy in your locker room? If so, you certainly don?t want any of his friends stopping by, do you?

And let?s not forget ?Pacman?s? first brush with the Davidson County authorities, when he was charged with ? and later cleared of ? misdemeanor assault and felony vandalism after an incident at a nightclub.

Guilty or innocent, it?s clear that trouble follows ?Pacman? around like the ghosts who chased his computerized namesake back in the day. And trouble has grown from a bar fight, to drugs, to an attempted shooting. Looks to be on the rise, doesn?t it?

So Titans, either straighten this guy up, or thrown this guy out before he becomes the next person featured on ESPN and CourtTV simultaneously.
