Titans to Pacman: No Wrestling

Posted Aug 11, 07 8:43 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Wayward Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones has struck a deal with the team that will keep him from pursuing his pro wrestling career. A county judge must sign off on the deal, which supersedes a temporary restraining order issued on the team's behalf yesterday that forbids Jones from participating in a match tomorrow, the Tennessean reports.

Wrestling syndicate Total Nonstop Action may now have a bone to pick with the suspended star. He has been expected to make his debut in tomorrow's pay-per-view event, but TNA's website says only that he will appear. A standard NFL contract clause prohibits players from doing anything that poses "a significant risk of personal injury."

    Lions Could Be Historically Bad “Worst. Team. Ever.” Get ready, Detroit fans, “because the angle isn’t going away,” writes Bob Wojnowski of the Detroit News. The Lions are used to losing, but yesterday’s embarrassing 47-10 thrashing on national TV surely represented a new low, making the Lions’ putridity common knowledge. “This was more pitiful than laughable,” says Wojinowski, and “unfortunately, there’s no end in sight.” More »
