NFL Musings: Don Imus Makes Pacman Jones As Sad As Javon Walker Is Stupid

How long until ESPN’s Jemele Hill calls for Don Imus to be fired again?

First of all, Don Imus hasn’t been relevant since the eighties (coincidentally, when he was in his eighties). Stop pretending anyone cares about anything he says.

He’s a hundred years old, he looks like he’s been dead for fifteen years, and he wears a stupid cowboy hat.

The ridiculous uproar over his “Nappy” comment is what temporarily brought him back to relevance. Now that he’s slipped back into obscurity, he’s trying to “controversy” his way back into the spotlight.

I don’t care what color Pacman Jones is—and I certainly don’t care if some old has been is making racist jokes about him on the radio. It’s a free market. If you don’t like it, don’t listen.

Calling for him to be fired, getting Al Sharpton involved, boycotting his sponsors…it’s a waste of time.

Worse than that, it gives him exactly what he wanted: renewed relevance.

The only way Don Imus should ever make the front page of ESPN is if he’s been killed by O.J. Simpson.

Speaking of Pacman…sorry…Adam Jones, he was apparently very upset with Imus.

"I'm truly upset about the comments," Jones told the Dallas News. "Obviously Mr. Imus has problems with African-Americans. I'm upset, and I hope the station he works for handles it accordingly."

I wonder what Pacman expects the station to do to Imus?

Remember, this is a guy who thought a one year suspension for punching a stripper in the face, starting a brawl that ends with a member of your crew shooting someone, biting a cop, and resisting arrest was too harsh. Given that, you have to wonder what he thinks “handles it accordingly” means.

$25 fine?

That might be a little too harsh.

WNBA season tickets?

Forcing him to participate in a champagne shower with Javon Walker?
