THE FACTS
ESPN reports that Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones has been suspended for at least four games for his most recent violation of the league’s personal conduct policy.

THE SPIN
The NFL hired him a babysitter (same difference as a chaperon) and Pacman decided to have a fight with him. Clearly not realizing that every action has a consequence, Pacman got into it with his chaperon in a hotel bathroom. If you’re wondering, yes this altercation was brought to us by alcohol. And this is all after a year-long suspension for several mishaps off the field.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said PacMan’s “disturbing pattern of behavior was clearly inconsistent with the conditions set for Jones’ continued participation in the NFL.”

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told ESPN.com: “I am disappointed for him and his opportunity and for the Cowboys and our opportunity and, frankly, for the NFL. I would like to have been standing here talking about his success and the curtain coming up for him and addressing his issues. That certainly would have been more positive.”

THE FACTS
ESPN reports that Jacksonville Jaguar offensive tackle Richard Collier, who was shot in his car while sitting outside of an apartment complex earlier this month, is paralyzed below the waist and had his leg amputated.
 

THE SPIN
Unfortunately, Richard Collier finds himself added to an ever growing list of people who find themselves at the wrong place at the wrong time. Earlier this month, Richard Collier was outside of the apartment complex of a woman he met that night at the club.

Sadly, the night ended with Collier suffering 14 bullet wounds to the back, left groin, left legs and right buttock. In addition, a bullet severed his spinal cord, which caused the paralysis. The amputation was the result of damage to his left leg and groin, where blood clots formed. ESPN noted that five bullets alone were removed from his urinary bladder, and added that Collier has endured bouts of pneumonia, infections and renal failure.

Despite all of this, Collier’s condition was eventually upgraded to stable, though doctors warn that Collier will never walk again.

Authorities believe the Jaguar was targeted, but no arrests have been made.

THE FACTS
Lil’ Wayne has a sports blog with ESPN. 

THE SPIN
I’m beginning to think all one has to do to live their dreams is become a rapper first. Rappers get to act. Rappers get to become fashion designers. Rappers get to become radio and TV personalities. Rappers can launch magazines (they tend to fail, but you get what I’m saying). Rappers can become best-selling authors. Rappers can even become talk show hosts (I wasn’t the only one watching Queen Latifah’s talk show – don’t hate). And just when you begin to wonder what else can a rapper do, Lil’ Wayne gets a blog on ESPN.

Yep, Wayne is now a sports writer. I would have pegged him as more of a D.A.R.E. spokesperson (he would be the D.A.R.E.) but hey, he’s a rapper, so he can do it all.

And get this: He sounds coherent. Maybe he took a break for “taking his medicine,” but you have to give props when they’re do – even when you don’t understand how in the hell he ended up blogging for ESPN to begin with.
