Pacman to the Bombers....

I'ma make it rain on Labour Day.

The Bombers and the CFL were front and center of the football world today. Every media outlet that covers football in any decent way had this story somewhere. Just love the attention both the league and the Bombers are getting over this. Hopefully even those fans who detest this (potential) signing, will come out and boo Jones. Either way this expands the profile of the CFL both at home and abroad.

I've already got like 30 people on facebook and myspace asking for fake/monopoly money for the game on LD.

None of the Canadian sites have confirmed any signing of Mr. Jones.

Adam “Pacman” Jones is now a Blue Bomber

not yet.

the bombers website hasn't confirmed it, there's no story at all.. the CFL.CA site hasn't mentioned it yet.. Sportsnet.ca says there's no confirmation.

I don't understand why you're losing your mind over this. How does someone saying Jones is a Bomber ruin your day? Live and let live, man.

i wasnt trying to make an argument on imigration my friend… im just saying it happens and not just in canada but other areas as well… sure different ethcities have brought gangs and crime but do u think if they werent alowwed the streets would be any cleaner? doubt it… thats not the point i want to get into tho so il zip it on that…

i just believe this is a good move cuz the bombers are trying to win…he has a troubled path but… he isnt being brought here to be a role model … automatically being expected to become one is an unfortunate weight on professionals brought on by our society putting to much praise and focus on indivuals and their lives rather than bettering there own… but again thats another sociological debate for a different forum lol…

so if he is allowed into canada i say good move bombers :rockin: if not well then… back to the drawing board big blue we need a returner!

It’s a done deal, the only snag may be the border. If Bob Irving says he signed, then he signed. The Bombers won’t announce anything untill the league makes it official.

Some may question his character, some may question his ability, some may question Kelly's sanity.

But for the CFL and the Blue Bombers, there is no question that the exposure gained from this signing has been massive.

Get your facts straight. Jones is NOT currently a suspect in the Las Vegas shooting.

On December 6, 2007, Jones pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct charges and was to serve a year on probation.

The alleged shooter will be going on trial in Feb.

Sportsnet reported that the Bombers had put Jones on their neg list back in February (which is when Jones was released by the Cowboys) so none of those teams could offer him a contract.

Your right. Its the OTHER shooting, the Atlanta one.

Have the police said he’s a suspect or is it just ESPN?

After repeated requests beginning Wednesday, the NFL declined to comment on the allegation that Jones arranged a shooting while serving his season-long suspension.

Jones’ agent, Worrick Robinson, did not respond to repeated requests for a comment by “Outside the Lines.?

On Wednesday, the Cowboys also declined to comment. Later that same day, the team announced it would release Jones.

DeKalb County Police questioned Jones, but nobody was charged. The case remains open

According to the Winnipeg Free Press, Jones has been arrested at least 6 times, and wanted by the police for questioning on 12 other occasions:

Can someone please remind me what Ramonce Taylor had done that made Kelly get rid of him?

Bombers (along with a few other teams this year) need to improve their return game. . . if this guy can do that for them, and can behave himself for a change, it'll be a good signing; if not then not.

The way I see it. If anyone in this country is injured or worse due to any circumstances even remotely connected to Adam AKA “Pacman” Jones. The responsibility falls right in the laps of the CFL and the Winnipeg Blue Bomber organisation’s front office and board of directors.

The same article also says:

Arora said that after extensive interviews with the alleged victims and Club Blaze employees, Jones was cleared by police of any wrongdoing. A spokesman for the DeKalb County District Attorney said the case never rose to the level of something considered for prosecution.

The Bombers have apparently issued a press release to announce that Adam Jones will not be joining the team.

Well, the circus was fun while it lasted. :lol: At least cflisthebest can rest easy now... :stuck_out_tongue:

Looks as if the Bombers may have gotten ticked off at Jones for jumping the gun on the announcement and decided he didn't have the professionalism needed to be a good Bomber off the field.

Well good for them to finally put all the speculation to rest.
