Heating it Up: Jones needs help, not football

Heating It Up | 4/2/08
One of the things my mother always used to tell me is that you can't reason with a fool. You can't try and teach a fool a lesson and most importantly, you can't change a fool. So if NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell had been one of my eight siblings and grown up in my household, he would know that simply suspending troubled NFL cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones is not enough because the man has "fool" written all over him.
Don't let his recent charity work in Atlanta trick you into thinking that he's learned his lesson. The man needs psychological help and until he gets it, he will continue down the same path he's been on his entire career.
You need proof that Pacman is a fool? Well here it is. Since joining the NFL in 2005 Pacman was arrested more times than he's caught interceptions. The Tennessee Titan cornerback has had several altercations in several night clubs and strip joints and even was involved in an altercation at a Vegas strip club that ended with a bouncer being shot and paralyzed.
Goodell suspended him indefinitely a year ago for his actions, but here's the crazy part. After getting into so much trouble at strip clubs, Pacman decided to visit one the day before his appeals meeting with the commissioner.
When asked why, he stated that he "just wanted something to eat." I guess McDonald's closed early that night or something.
During his suspension, in an effort to show Goodell that he could stay away from the drama and negative headlines, he joined TNA Wrestling. After his three-month stint in professional wrestling failed to work out, he again tried to prove to Goodell that the life of crime, sex, money, and drugs was a thing of the past by becoming a rapper. His label was named National Street League Records and his group was called the Posterboyz.
Now does this sound like a changed man to you? Of course not! You have to be seriously sick in the head to think that any of this is acceptable behavior so why let someone, who clearly doesn't see a problem with it, back into the league without the help of a psychologist?
