None of that makes any sense.

Adam "Pacman" Jones is ready to apologize to Antonio Brown ... possibly.

Jones, who seems to be taking part in a social experiment to determine how quickly one can wipe away years of goodwill accumulation, said on Showtime's Inside The NFL that he will issue an apology to Brown if the Steelers wide receiver does not play in this weekend's Divisional-Round matchup against the Broncos.

Brown suffered a concussion on an illegal hit by Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict late in the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh's stunning 18-16 win. Jones -- who drew a back-breaking personal foul moments after Brown was injured -- said Monday he believed Brown had faked his injury to draw the flag.

"I will (apologize) if he don't play," Jones told Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall in an interview that will air Tuesday night. "But you know and I know that when Saturday gets here all that is going out the window. ... When Saturday gets here, he will be cleared Friday -- I promise you -- 24 hours before the game."

The game will actually be played Sunday, and that's not the only thing Jones has wrong. Medical professionals diagnosed Brown with a brain injury caused by the head-hunting ways that led to Burfict's three-game suspension.

Adam Jones needs to collect his wife and family and go to an island for 7-to-10 days. I cannot stress enough how beneficial disappearing can be to the 32-year-old's career.

This guy really needs to stop sticking his foot in his mouth. Do I think the hit was the worst thing ever? Far from it. Do I think Pacman's flag was earned? Maybe, but it should have been offsetting with Porter.

But seriously, in the last three days we've got
"Jerry Porter"
"Antonio Bryant"
"Acting should have given him a Grammy (????)"
"Be ready to play for Saturday's game" (He's playing the chiefs vs new england, I guess)
"Antonio winked at me"

Seriously Jones... please... stop talking. If you hated the way it was officiated, so do I! But now you're just making yourself look stupid.

I like that Jones has put the spotlight on Pittsburgh and Brown's availability come Sunday. If he indeed plays, the national media that's been roasting Cincinnati needs to start asking questions of Pittsburgh.

(01-13-2016, 08:20 AM)gobobro Wrote: People were asking for sourcing on Brown being expected to play so soon after the hit, and using a lack of sourcing to scoff at Jones' claims. I posted the article to backup that it had indeed been written (and written by one of the beat writers, not some blogger with zero accountability).

Now you let the enemy in our home, let him disrespect us, and side with him. Lame. And an embarrassment to the fans on this board. The op can go back to the Steelers board, and take some of these Bengals fans with him.

As for Pacman, he really does need to shut his mouth.  This is his contract year.  He has played extremely well and done a somewhat good job of keeping out of trouble since he has been here.  I'm certain there are GM's around the league thinking "same old Pacman, no way do I want that in the locker room" every time he opens his mouth.  His agent, wife, somebody needs to say "dude, shut the hell up... no more interviews, no more social media posts, no more communication at all".
