Felonious Funk: Pacman Turns Musician

Posted Aug 15, 07 5:16 PM CDT in Sports    Editor's Choice

(Newser) – After failing as a Total Nonstop Action Wrestler, Tennessee Titan Pacman Jones has found another way to fill the idle hours of his NFL suspension: the cornerback is at work on a hip-hop album. Jones, whose strip-club arrest earned him a one-year NFL hiatus, has assembled an outfit called "Posterboyz"; the group will release its first single this month.

The league recently barred Jones from engaging in physical contact during his TNA Wrestling matches, saying such action would violate the terms of his contract. The 23-year-old will stay busy nonetheless: his recording label, National Street League Records, has scheduled a tour of southern universities for this fall.
