Adam "Pacman" Jones has officially crossed over from a human being to cartoon character. It wasn't enough to get suspended from the NFL for the entire season for that absolutely heinous fight at a strip club in Vegas that left one man paralyzed, but now he's a professional wrestler. I don't necessarily have a problem with pro wrestling, but this can't be a good idea for a guy who's trying to earn reinstatement with the NFL next season. Not to mention that wrestling is almost assuredly a breach of his contract with the Titans. Any standard contract in the NFL would not allow a player to put himself in that kind of danger without the team being able to recoup a good portion of his signing bonus if he's injured. Does he need money so badly that it's worth that risk or is he just nuts? It looks like this Pacman is stuck between a ghost and a hard place.
While watching Barry Bonds repeatedly get fooled on change-ups and swinging through fastballs tonight I couldn't help but notice two major things. First of all, I immediately felt how huge the moment was. It seemed the entire San Franciscan crowd was holding it's collective breath on every pitch. It was almost uncomfortable for me to watch it with such mixed feelings. I like to be watching when history is made, but I just wish the record was being broken by a clean player. Secondly, Bonds doesn't look comfortable at the plate at all. He keeps dipping his shoulder and it appears he's trying to lift the ball. He also seems to be swinging with only his arms. It's pretty hard to generate home run power if you're not using your legs. That being said, it's only a matter of time until he blasts one over the fence. You did it Barry. You're the all-time home run champ. Now take your giant watermelon head and get out of our lives already. Return from whence you came and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. You might still be sore there from all the injections.
