Pro Football Gangsta's a la "Pacman"

1. The difference between the "hi hop" and the "gangsta" culture would appear that in the later, there is absolutely no respect for authority or law. "Gangsta's" probably relate to "hip hop", but just because you enjoy "hip hop" doesn't mean you would relate to "gangsta" protocol.

However, the one thread that runs between these two is their denigration of women, i.e., the lyrics on hip hop songs and actions by gangsta's are against women. If one accepts this kind of music into their life, there will be some accommodation to the philosophy no matter how subtle it may be.

2. Everyone talks about cutting Adam Jones, but the fear is the Titans won't find anyone to replicate his field performance if he goes to another team in the AFC, it could hurt the Titans in game winning situations.

My thought is, particularly if the alleged gambling with bookies is proven, the NFL should ban him from football. No suspension, fines, etc., just ban him from football forever. And, furthermore, the Titans should be relieved of any further expense because of breach of contract. (Of course that's assuming the contracts in the NFL have a clause forbidding known contact with gamblers. We know the trouble with "assumption.")

3. Call me cynical maybe because I was raised in the Chicago area, but with the dismissal of all charges against Adam Smith in nine arrests, why wouldn't you think the "fix" was in? How can one person who frequently finds himself in deep doo-doo always walk away free of charge. Cha-Ching, someone's getting a pay off.
