RIP "Pacman" Jones

Unfortunately it has been reported by Adam Schefter that Adam "Pacman" Jones doesn't want to be known as Pacman any more, and will publicly request to the media later this week to just be known as Adam Jones. It is a smart move on his part as it will distance himself from his troubled past. But for all of his fans, it's time to look back and reflect on what was. Before he was suspended by the league last year, Jones was becoming one of the better young corners in the league. During his two career seasons as "Pacman" he recorded 115 tackles, 4 interceptions and 5 touchdowns. So in honor of the occasion, I thought it would be fitting to put together my top ten all time "Pacman" Jones moments.

1. "Making it Rain": To the majority of NFL fans, this is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about him so it's only fitting to put as number one on the list.

2. Draft Day: When Pacman got drafted, they briefly showed him and the party going on. Let's just say that ESPN never went back to see it again.

3. Interception return for a touchdown against the Jaguars: This was Pacman's first interception return for a touchdown. It is also the most common play you see when ESPN was talking about Pacman's suspension. Plays like this show why he could be a special player.

4. Sliding down the goalpost: This was Pacman's signature end zone dance which he did after every touchdown. As far as end zone celebrations go, this is one of my personal favorites.

5. The Posterboyz: When Pacman signed a deal to start rapping, this was the duo he was half of. The first single was called "Let it Shine" where they surprisingly talk about fast cars, jewelry and excessive amounts of money. The song actually isn't that bad and until Pacman says his name, you can't tell that it's him rapping.

6. TNA: Pacman didn't even really have a real wrestling match on TNA, but the Pacman shirt he wore for his introduction made it all worth while.

7. Punt Return for a touchdown against the Eagles: Pacman on this play showed why he is one of the best return men in the league as he showed everything you would want in a punt returner. He showed great speed and cut back ability on the 90 yard return.

8. Feeding the Children: Most people didn't notice but Pacman actually took the time during is suspension to help feed the needy. It was the kindest moment in Pacman history.

9. Punt return for a touchdown against the Texans: This was another great return for Pacman as he ran backwards and still got the touchdown. When playing, he is a pro bowl caliber return man.

10. The mug shots: Over the course of time, Pacman has had his fair share of mugshots. They are all memorable but in my mind the best one is after his triple shooting incident. So we have reached the end of Pacman in the NFL but as Adam, he is sure to add many more memorable moments to the list. You will be missed Pacman.

Solid post FB, you know Pacman is a favorite at shakedem especially since he's growing them back.

The Greatest Mugshot of All-Time

a true representation of west virginia and rich rodriguez

here's my fave athlete mugshot. dayum son! those rows need to be freshened up! what happened to his personal hair braider that goes ont he road with him?

There is only one Adam Jones. Pacman will always be Pacman.

But D-Man, if Pacman wants to known as Adam Jones, then he is the real Adam Jones

Pacman may have the greatest mug shot ever, but photowise, Adam Jones on the Orioles isn't far behind.

Great photo, FB.

I agree, he is stuck with it

I think this great return against the Patriots should have made the list:


The King of making it Rain is droppin the Name...

Good Luck Adam Jones, may the strippers love you as much as they loved Pac

Some outstanding original content here. Thanks fbkid for that sentimental trip down memory lane (or Pac Man Blvd.).

One of my favorite PacMan images is of him walking on a Manhattan street, eating popcorn out of a bag after visiting with Commissioner Goodell. Gold suit and all, PacMan wanted everyone to know that he was clearly undeterred by anything the commish had to say. Aint nothing gonna stop Pac from bein' Pac and we wouldn't want it any other way.

I agree hiphop that one was great. I was considering it for the list but it barely missed the cut.

whats up FB your article was the bomb but what about the touchdown return against the jags that shud have made the list.

that return was good, but not enough to make the list, especially when Pac has many great highlights

Thanks glad you liked it. The touchdown against the Jags is on the list though.

wait a second, you mean i have to change my Google Alert from "Pac Man and strippers?"

*sigh*

I laughed at this, LOL!

Oh man. Now I won't recognize his name without the "Pacman" in front of it.
