Here's one of the many reasons I'm lucky to alive: I get to write about Pacman Jones for the next ten years or so, assuming he stays alive.

I don't plan to copy what's on our news page much in this space (this is a first), but Pacman's latest hijinx is worth repeating. Here's the blurb I wrote for Rotoworld.

NFL Network's Adam Shefter reports that witnesses in Las Vegas have claimed that Pacman Jones was biting the ankle of the bouncer who wound up getting shot during a melee. That's not all. Jones was recovering from a previously unreported shoulder surgery and Shefter reports that the bouncer "popped" Jones' shoulder while holding him in an arm lock. Jones reportedly left in a great deal of pain.

Jeff Fisher called Jones' one game suspension the defining moment of his career last season. Remember, the Titans tried to suspend Jones four games before the NFLPA stepped in. I think Fisher was trying to say that Jones' response to this "last chance" punishment would define him. Jones responded with the best stretch of play in his career, but now he's in hot water again.

If it was any other player, Tennessee could act tough and release him. But Jones is already one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, if not one of the best players. Behind Vince Young, he's the most valuable player on the Tennessee roster. This latest trouble is singularly dumb, because he jeopardized his life (three people were shot at the nightclub) and more specifically his recently repaired shoulder.

The Titans have painted themselves into corner and will have to get tough with Jones, suspending him again if the league doesn't.
