The guy may be a football talent, but he is an idiot.

BLUE BOMBERS STATE 'PACMAN' JONES WILL NOT JOIN THE TEAM
The Canadian Press and TSN

WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers won't be signing Adam (Pacman) Jones after all, and head coach Mike Kelly apologized for the way the situation was handled.

The team announced Wednesday it has ended its pursuit of the controversial ex-NFL cornerback, one day after a source told The Canadian Press that Jones had agreed to join the Bombers.

"I would like to apologize to the faithful fans and the Blue Bomber organization that this distraction took up so much of our time," Kelly said Wednesday night.

"But understand that our team is focused on the task at hand, which is representing Winnipeg and the football club to the best of our abilities in the Labour Day Classic."

A league source requesting anonymity told The Canadian Press that Jones was having trouble crossing the border into Canada because of his past legal troubles, and that played a major part in the Bombers' decision. Kelly, however, wouldn't get into specifics.

"The information that was provided concerning our interest in Adam Jones was premature and sensationalized," Kelly said.

Heard that on the radio the other day. That is good to bring in big names into the CFL. Hopefully it boosts attendance for some games... as of now the Stamps have the highest attendance numbers this season.

GO STAMPS GO!
