Why Is 'Castle' Kissing Someone New?
Lawsuit: County Morgue Lost Woman's Body For 14 Months
Former Tennessee Titan and Dallas Cowboy Adam 'Pacman' Jones has been campaigning to get back in the NFL in recent months, after sitting at home for all of last season. It looks like that campaign has come to an end, though, with the Cincinnati Bengals giving the defensive back and punt returner one more shot in the NFL. The Bengals signed Jones to a two-year contract most likely at the league minimum."I still think I have the skill set that made me a high-draft choice," Jones said after working out with the team early this week. "I know I have a ton, a ton of work to do. It would be a dream come true to come in here and help the Bengals in any way I can and also help them win the championship. Like I said, I know I have a ton of work to do. To gain your guys' trust, it's not going to come overnight. It's going to take time.
"All I can do is take it one day at a time. Focus in on the things I've been focusing in. Come play football. Like I said, I'm happy to be here. I want to thank the city of Cincinnati for giving me and my family a fresh start. I want to thank the guys upstairs. Mr. Brown. I want to thank coach (Lewis). I want to thank coach Zimmer. I want to thank the whole organization. I'm happy to be here. I look forward to talking to y'all real soon."
While the rest of the league and pretty much NFL fans counted Jones out, Bengals coach Marvin Lewis thinks Jones will be on his best behavior. Jones says that his days of partying, getting arrested and getting in fights are over. After all, if he messes this up, it will definitely be the end of his career.
"I trust that he will resurrect his career with this opportunity and get himself going and have an opportunity to be a productive player, whether it be here or somewhere else," Lewis said. "I don't know that he'll make this football team. But he'll get a good shot at it. The only way to do it is to put him on the team right now and see."

Ive known Adam Jones since he was a child and he always had a love for the sports. He was always great at this game. Growing up in the Projects Adam, has had to learn how to be the great young man he is growing up to be. He can and will drive from the spirit that his grandparents has placed in him; I have faith that he will play with his heart, body and soul; I will pray that he remain; accident, fight and lude behavior free. In Jesus Name. Yes and we all say AMEN.
