Pacman Jones Once Spent One Million Dollars in a Single Weekend

All, NFL, NFL Draft Stephen Douglas July 2nd. 2012, 10:36am

The NFL held its Rookie Symposium last week and the league brought in cautionary tales Terrell Owens and Adam “Pacman” Jones to speak with the draftees. Colts tight end Coby Fleener was in attendance and shared some of the stories in Peter King’s Monday Morning Quarterback column today. Their stories went from the predictably dumb…

Owens said he knew that if he wanted to be able to dance that week, he had to get in the end zone.

To the sad…

Jones estimated that 90 percent of his childhood friends within two to three years of his age are now either dead or in jail. Jones grew up in Atlanta.

To Pacman being Pacman…

Jones regretfully recounted spending $1 million in one weekend! To which Owens looked at him, smiling, and said, “Man, you crazy!”

A million dollars in a single weekend. Jones regretfully recounted that weekend in front of an audience all these years later, but I bet it was the greatest weekend ever. I mean, a million dollar hangover must feel like a thousand deaths, but can you imagine the strippers, booze, gambling and drugs involved? I’m not trying to glorify this man, but he is legend. Pacman Jones somehow survived becoming the one of the most famous cautionary tales in the history of professional sports.

Adam Jones did. Pacman Jones will forever be etched in the Idiot Athlete Hall of Fame.

This is like the plot to Brewster’s Millions.
How the fuck do you spend $1 million dollars in a weekend and NOT have anything to show for it?
I mean, a weekend is only 48 hours long. You can only do so many drugs and fuck so many strippers and/or skanks such that time as well as your body’s ability to handle it would just shut down.
I call bullshit on Pacman.

I wonder if that paralyzed for life bouncer feels the same way. Jones is a damn waste of existence.

I went out Friday from 7:45 am to 5:00 am Saturday morning. I played golf, saw Ted, went to the titty bar, and hung out downtown. Not counting the beers I drank at a friends house, I probably spent $100 and did all that. It was a great fucking time, and I was hammered. So, tell me…..what in the blue fuck does a million dollar weekend get you?

Woof…..the day crew at 12:00, even on a Friday, is not talented. At all. No dances for me, no tips from me….I did, however, enjoy their $2.00 beer.
To be fair, I should say that I am not a big strip club fan. So, there’s that.

He’s contributing to the economy instead of selfishly hording his earnings. A true patriot.

That is one hell of a good time but if you did it for around $100, something is up. You played a horrible muni course, snuck into the movie, and shortchanged the ladies.

I’d presume this would be in vegas. let’s assume $600,000 went to gambling. Started with $200k for himself, $100k for his crew, and then 3 more $100k markers.
then $400k in stripper event; $200k a night, that’d include 1-2 $50k huge bottles of cristal or soemthing, leaving $100k for the strippers and prostitutes and rest of the alcohol tab

no, lets not assume a decade’s worth of salary went to gambling. assumption refers to something easily grasped…with this, of course, not being one of those things.

Solid deal. I traded 50 bushels of corn futures for the services of the banker’s daughter.

They paid for Ted, but he’s not confessing that after that they snuck in to Madea’s Witness Protection

I assume you took work off today so you could go pick out an engagement ring.

That’s the best part, she doesn’t feel the need to get married because she thinks it’s a pointless label and would rather just spend the money on a party.

Make sure you’re not subject to a common law marriage, and I’d say you have a keeper.

I’d buy into this, but not over the course of a single weekend. No chance.
Maybe a weekend that last all week into the next weekend?

If you factor in a shit-ton of blow it all works out.

Theo Fleury spent about $1.2 million by himself during a weekend binge in a Chicago hotel, and he’d spend up to $400,000 every two weeks on strippers, coke, and alcohol. He blew $50 million in career earnings! What Pacman did is nothing.
