A player will soon be on the phone non-stop with his lawyer, and a league is changing cell phone carriers.

Suspended NFL player Adam “Pacman” Jones has been charged with two felonies in a Las Vegas strip club brawl that led to a shooting in February. The Rainmaker allegedly bit a bouncer on the ankle and threatened to kill several club employees, according to police records.

This is the latest spot of trouble for the embattled Titans cornerback, who was recently wanted for questioning in connection with a shooting outside of an Atlanta strip club. It’s unknown whether the league can take any action against Jones, who in total has been involved with more than 10 incidents where police were called to the scene, but he’s proven himself to be liability to the league and his own life.

In other news, rumors are flying about NASCAR renaming its cup series from Nextel to the Sprint Cup Series. If they prove to be true, it will be the third sponsorship name change in four years for the association.

NASCAR officials deny the claim, but do say talks are in place. Sprint and Nextel merged in 2004 to the tune of $36 billion dollars, so its a little odd why the change would be so sticky between the two names linked to the cell phone conglomerate.

The only thing its stands to change is the amount of commercials we’ll see during races, and maybe an increase in NASCAR fans ignoring the release of the iPhone.

Former Washington Redskins and New York Giants linebacker LaVar Arrington was injured yesterday in a motorcycle accident in suburban Maryland. The Pro Bowler was hospitalized with non life-threatening injuries after crashing on a highway ramp.

Reports from ESPN citing comments from Arrington’s agent said that Arrington suffered cuts, bruises, a broken arm and a broken leg. Arrington was released by the Giants in February, after playing only six games last season before tearing his Achilles tendon.

It has been a rough career for the second pick of the 2000 NFL Draft. Once viewed as the second coming of Lawrence Taylor, injuries and conflicts with coaches have stemmed his true potential as a player. The assumption is that he will sit out this season, but at age 29, its possible he can have a decent finish to his career in the 2008 season.

Embattled Tennesee Titans cornerback and renowned rainmaker Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones has withdrawn the appeal of his suspension and will not play in the 2007 NFL season.

Jones was suspended on April 10, 2007 after repeatedly running afoul of the law since he entered the league as the sixth pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. Arrested five times and questioned by police 10 times over, Jones formally filed the appeal on May 11.

Jones is the classic example of an athlete not learning his lesson. On the outside, this is a decent move to allow the Titans organization and its players a chance to move on without being constantly questioned about the issue. But I can’t help but wonder, how contrite can a man be when rumors still swirl about his desire to constantly disturb the peace?
