If you're just coming off the situation Adam put himself in recently, why in the hell would you do anything to make yourself look even worse? No one is forcing Adam to repeatedly act like an ass...he continues to purposely make that decision himself.

If Mike Brown has taught Pacman anything, it's that Pacman can get away with this behavior.

Pacman says no more interviews for you this year.

the interviewers do like to push buttons they don't need to..  Journalism is all about getting reactions now not news so dude got what he wanted.

I know right? Can you imagine the balls on this guy asking such a rare question after all that went down? Then to comply with his Pacs wishes, to be further chased down and harassed like "I aint finished with you yet!". I am sure Pacman is blown away some had the nerves to challenge him. Didn't he know who this man is? He's Adam freaking Pacman Jones! He doesn't answer to no man! He's good now, though. 

And............This is why CB at #9 is not out of the question. Well, at least not for a sane coach and owner anyways.

First off, that reporter is a good friend of mine from my high school (Joe Danneman), but that was stupid of him.

Second, how could he have politely responded?  You can't throw shade his way and just expect no response.  

By not further chasing him down to curse him out like "do you know how I am MF'er!" would of been a great compromise, am-i-right?

Instead of hating on him for saying something stupid we should all love him because he "speaks from the heart". 

All of you people who hate on Pac because he is not PC enough just don't get it. Adam does not play the media's games.  All he cares about is making the Bengals great again.

Media out to get Pacman.

Too many people believing this fake news.

Sad.

We may add another CB at some point but not one that early, IMCO.

We could go FA or a later round but I think Jones would have been relied on more for return duties.

This.

I think the '17 Bengals are a team who really needs help with a friendly start to the schedule.  Winning early cures all ills.

If we start the year badly then without a Whit or Peko the tantrums from someone like Pacman will start early.  Marv has historically done pretty well keeping the team playing and focussed but I don't feel there is as much resilience in this squad.  

Remember that time Tom Brady went off on a reporter asking about deflategate?

Oh?

The question was tame. In fact it seemed like the reporter was setting Pacman up to smooth things over with fans and his city.

Instead, Pacman went full ****** and showed that he's still all ego and zero remorse. This is what happens when you're "kind and loyal" to an idiot without fail for years on end.

Welcome to Cincinnati, Mr. Lattimore.

This will be the next final straw.

If he can't handle a reporter asking a question, how's he gonna handle Antonio Brown and the entire Steeler team running their mouths for four quarters?  No need to answer.  We all know how.

The answer is clear.  It is time for him to get the hell out of the kitchen.  He can no longer handle the heat.

Yeah. There is a better way to handle things like that... But it's not his nature. This is who is, was, and will be. A lot of people (myself included) want Pacman gone. This isn't a Pacman Jones issue anymore. This is on management. It's not Pacman's job to fire himself. It's like getting pissed off at rattlesnake for biting you... It's what they do.

That really wasn't "going off" on a reporter either...

The dude is a cancer - period ! And that's never gonna change. He just doesn't have it in him to take the high road, and it will surface and cost us a game, just wait.

Keep it in P&R.

Y'know, I was looking forward to hearing about the Bengals today: what they've been doing in the off-season, what they learned from last season, who'll step in for those who left. But what do we get? All Jones, all the time. Again. Losing interest fast in this one-note team.

The only people that have a problem with what he said are the same fans that went off over a misdemeanor. Being politically correct is getting old in this country put on your big girl panties on ladies.

Can't Adam Jones put on his big girl panties and stop going bananas every time someone does something he doesn't like?
