Pacman's about to get ghosted and no power-pills left to eat...
Right now the smart money is on the concept that cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones will not play another down for the Tennessee Titans in light of all of his extra-curricular activities. There is an additional belief that he will be suspended for the season next year.

This poses a question - If the Titans release Jones and no one picks him up next season because they don't want money tied up in a player who can not play, then he isn't really serving a suspension under league rules, is he? It should be interesting to see if his career goes away because of all this, or if he just does (despite all his claims of innocence in regards to the Vegas incident, it does appear that he was caught on camera inciting the melee that ensued).

Man of Steel rolls the dice and they come up snake-eyes...
So Joey Porter, after signing a contract to become a Miami Dolphin, assaults a Bengal in Vegas over trash talking in relation to his former team the Steelers and could face up to a year in jail time for his transgression. While it's unlikely that he will serve that sort of time (if any at all), it was not the smartest move in the world - particularly with the league scrutinizing this sort of behavior.

Pitching in the Venezualan Penal League...
Former big league closer Ugueth Urbina, a former member of the Red Sox (amongst other teams), was convicted of attempted murder. According to the AP Report, Urbina, "was accused of joining a group of men in attacking and injuring workers with machetes and pouring gasoline on them at his family's ranch, located about 25 miles south of Caracas."

I had heard that Urbina was charged at the beginning of this case, but - in all honesty - I don't know enough about the case to say whether Urbina got shafted or not. I can say that the man has not had a good couple of years, starting with the kidnapping of his mother in September of 2004 (she was rescued five months later).
