Keeping up with Jones

It's picture perfect. The jokes are just too easy, and that's why I'll keep the Adam 'Pacman' Jones jokes to a minimum.
In all seriousness though, the disgruntled and overrated corner back seems to be headed to Cincinnati to play for the Bengals, where he'll be a good fit on and off the field.
"This team has a tradition, and I'm just happy not only to be a part of it, but to add to it," Jones (may, or may not have at one point ) said. "In many ways, we're a lot alike, and as far as I'm concerned, it's a pretty darn good partnership we have going on here. I look forward to helping my team become a true threat, and doing a lot of damage, not only personally, but as an organization."
When asked how well he knows the Bengals players, Jones said, "A lot better than you'd think. We go way back. Odell (Thurman) used to literally sleep in the cell right next to mine, and now my locker might be next to his. It's always nice to see a familiar face."
Jones vowed to show his future teammates a good time, particularly  his coach, Marvin Lewis.
"He rolled the dice on me, you know what I'm saying? It takes a real man to do that, a man that cares about winning."
According to Jones, the Bengals are just a quarterback away from being Super Bowl champs. "Only one piece of the puzzle is missing, and that piece is playing backup quarterback in Philly."
When someone  dropped the name Plaxico Burress, Jones responded, "Yeah right, I wish. If only we could afford to pay him."
Man, if only Ron Artest played in the NFL.....
On a completely separate note, the AFC North is an absolute disaster. You have the Bengals taking Pacman. You've got the Steelers dealing with the Big Ben saga, and the Browns are the Browns. Does that make the Ravens the winner here?

Wow, that is a perfect fit for the "Pac Man". I can't believe it took the Bengals this long to pick him up.
