Pac-Man Fever in Cincinnati?

There have been a few interesting reports popping up in the Cincinnati area about some "Curious" NFL players getting tryouts. The latest is that that the Cincinnati Bengals are testing the waters with one Adam "Pacman" Jones.

Pacman isn't the only Jones the Bengals are interested in, there are also reports that they are in the bidding along with the Tennessee Titans for former Jaguars Wide Receiver Matt Jones, who was suspended last season for a Drug arrest.

The Pacman interest is a bit odd, only because the Bengals are very strong in the secondary, particularly at Cornerback with Jonathan Joseph and Leon Hall. The Matt Jones interest makes more sense. The Bengals really struggled for most of the season throwing the ball. Right now the only receiving threat on the team is Chad Ochocinco. They signed Lavernious Coles in the 2008-09 offseason and he really didn't do much. Reedy also mentions that the Bengals may kick the tires of the previously suspended and now available Donte Stallworth too.

It is also worth noting that Ochocinco has been all over Twitter saying he wants the Bengals to go after one Terrell Owens. Though on one level it might be pretty funny,we suspect that might be asking just a bit too much out of the new version of the Oakland Raiders to take that headache on.

Enjoy Adam Jones' theme song. The video kinda sucks. Thanks You Tube:

Breaking News: Matt Has The Jones For Jail

((HT: KFSM-TV))

Former Arkansas Razorback and current Jacksonville Jaguar wide receiver Matt Jones (([pictured, thanks KATV)) was back in Washington County Drug Court Monday afternoon with some bad news for the judge.

Jones told the Judge Mary Ann Gunn he had been drinking and playing golf on Thursday.

Jones is not supposed to drink while participating in the Drug Court Program. Jones told the Judge Gunn it was a bad decision. Judge Gunn told Jones she thought he was a good person and because of that he had to choose between a week in jail or entering a six weeks residential drug program.

She said he will also be set back in the program. After a short recess, Judge Gunn decided Jones will go to Washington County Jail until 8am Sunday morning. Gunn cut the jail sentence short so Jones could make Jaguar football practice.

From KHBS -TV 40/29:

((as we piece this together...))

Jones was called in for random drug test on February 27 as part of his treatment for being caught with cocaine.

The treatment center received the results late last week and tested positive for alcohol.
Jones was in court Monday to be sanctioned for using alcohol.

He admitted to a judge that he drank on Thursday, the day before the test, when he was playing golf with some of his friends.

The judge set his bond at $150,000.
If he does make bond, he'll have to go to treatment for six weeks.
