Belligerent Bengal berates broadcaster

Adam “Pacman” Jones transferred his rage from the cops to a local broadcaster Monday during his first media appearance since he was arrested in January for allegedly assaulting multiple people, including head-butting a police officer.

The troubled Bengals cornerback, who has held on to his job in the NFL despite many run-ins with the law, spoke to reporters in front of his locker after the first day of voluntary offseason workouts and became uncontrollably angry when Joe Danneman of Fox 19 asked if Jones had anything to prove to Cincinnati fans. Jones had tried to lay down rules at the start of the interview, warning media not to ask any questions “about court,” according to the Dayton Daily News.

“Didn’t I just tell you don’t ask me that?” Jones lashed out in reply to the question about making it up to fans who feel betrayed by his offseason behavior. “You out the [interview]. Turn around. Go back that way. See you. Next question. That’s his last interview for the year.”

Danneman followed his orders and left the scene, but Jones pursued him once the interview was over, berating him on his way to the restroom for asking “stupid a-- f--king questions.”

He again shamed Danneman on his way back from the restroom, yelling at him to “shut the f--k up” — his last outburst before teammates and coach Marvin Lewis stepped in. Lewis reportedly sat with Jones at his locker, where the two talked.

Jones was arrested at a Cincinnati hotel Jan. 3 for allegedly pushing and poking a man in the eye. The 12year NFL veteran then snapped at the police, allegedly kicking and head-butting a cop as he was being put in handcuffs.
