Not sure how many of you know this, but Lil' Wayne has been doing a blog over at ESPN for a few months now, and it's actually incredibly entertaining. Sure, Lil' Wayne blogging about sports doesn't really make a ton of sense, but then ESPN really isn't about journalism anyway, so when you think about it that way, it makes a ton of sense.Anyway, where I'm going with this is that Weezy had some interesting thoughts on Pacman Jones and his reinstatement into the NFL. As in, Weezy says he'd kick Pacman out of the league at this point.
I don't think the Pacman Jones situation is sad at all. I do not think Pacman Jones should be in the NFL. If I was the commissioner, I'd kick him out. They keep giving him chances and he keeps messing up. You got guys like Hines Ward out there getting fined for making plays on the field on one hand, and then on the other hand you got guys in situations where people are getting shot. Come on. You have to be smart about the company you keep. I should know. But sometimes it's not just friends—it's family members who are into bad stuff who bring you down. And how can you get rid of family? You can't. That's why I think, in his situation, there is no way he's turning it around. I mean, come on. He's a grown man. They don't give these huge contracts to kids. His main job is to stay out of trouble and he can't do that, so I'd kick him out of the league.
Amazing. I can't believe I'm actually typing these words, but I think Lil' Wayne would be a better commissioner than Roger Goodell. Because Pacman's on, what, his 14th chance now? After being given his last chance like 3 chances ago.
Seriously man, Weezy for Commish.
