this dude def got a A+ on his introduction on his essays
Thesis statement is what that's called
He speaks pretty good for a guy that can't hear!!! 😁
@@FirstName-lv8gx Wait what.
First Name Is he deaf?
He’s deaf
"Finally he could shut off the game and stop running from the ghosts of his past."
That's 🔥🔥🔥
Flem the philosopher lol
Damn, Flem so good he got me mad at u bout quote spoilers
Like my dad said," you can take them out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of them." He should have been kicked out high school and never went to college or pro's
@@christopherstevens9488 like my dad always said "you can take people from their land, enslave them for hundreds of years, institute segregation and Jim Crow, use the police and courts to implement less obvious racism, give that group Civil Rights for only 50 years, and then make casual racist remarks about them"
Wise man!
@@abarkins The truth is not always racism. Quit being a victim or looking to be offended for others.
The dudes biggest problem always was just getting into fights and being ultra agressive. He turned around his life pretty well tho
Do people really understand how elite of a prospect this guy was coming out of West Virginia. He was so good he was the first defender taken in the 05 draft ahead of DeMarcus Ware. The talent he had is the reason he was given so many changes. He was one of the more fluid quick twitch athletes I ever saw. Good hands for a CB and he was aggressive. He is easily one the top 5 CB prospects of the last 20 years. He was set for Multiple All pro and pro bowl selections but the season long suspension put that talk on hold. He did finish strong however and made it 10 plus years in the NFL
Roger Goodell: "This is your last opportunity to salvage your career."
Pacman: "Are you challenging me?"
Pacman, along with so many other players, are proof the NFL is perhaps the most forgiving employer out there. This can be said about most sports of course, but if I were arrested for even the most mild of Pacman's many transgressions, I would be fired on the spot at my job. As long as you're talented and you don't go Ray Rice by getting caught on camera punching out your future wife, you'll be just fine in sports.
Lmao
Justin Miller if ray rice was was a top 5 running back that year.I guarantee he would still be in the league. He wasnt worth fighting for or taking Bad publicity.
Justin Miller ray rice would still have a job if he wasn’t basically at the end when it happened. I e hunt
@@mjfoxx37 Ray Rice had plenty more in the tank he was mid twenties when it happened. He wasn't nearing the end of his career by any means. His incident was the worst of what's been caught on tape. Rag dolling his fiance after knocking her out with seemingly little care was something even the NFL couldn't sugar coat.
I love how you always trying to look for the positive side in everyone's story. We need more people like you in this world bro keep up the videos
Garrett 95 true
And the one negative video he did he hated doing it
Oh look for the good? Try Ted Bundy or The Hillside Strangler. Find the good in them. Pfft!!
@@arkansasdave3645 well being he sticks to football related videos I dont see why he would have to. However, hes just saying he tries to look at the good side to every bad person or story. Ain't hard to understand hes just being a good individual
He wasn't getting caught in these situations, he was creating situations that would have never happened if he would have stayed home those night.
NFL need to hire best friends, a guy to be with someone to step in and say hey buddy let’s not go out Saturday night cause we gotta be up early for church lol
Yea because the millions of dollars isnt enough of a motivator for these morons.
@@GreatBirdOfHope They are not morons do.....
@@GreatBirdOfHope or hear me out here, some people might just need someone there for them. ik it’s shocking right
@@GreatBirdOfHope you seem to think money cures all of people’s problem it doesn’t, once you get it you are still YOU with the same problems & poor decision making some of us need a support system & MONEY AINT THAT
@@GreatBirdOfHope you’re the worst kind of person my man you ain’t perfect you fuck up at some point I’m sure in some areas everybody got their own problems fix yours & leave everyone else’s to their own you stating ya ignorant as opinions ain’t gon change Shit trust me
I appreciate you bud, you are extremely positive and express your views in that vein. It's refreshing in this day and age of depressing infotainment. You earned a subscription.
Young blood you killing the documentaries and game culture analysis keep up the great work
Ghana Dan no cap
Been doing this 💯💯
Flem is the TRUTH...love this dude!! His delivery IS AMAZING
@@JonnDiorr 9p
Bum
This channel should have a million subs. Reliably great content and insight. Love from the UK Flem
🤷🏿 Thts 🆗 Tho Cause itz A Coming 😊🙆🏽 🤜🤛
At least his Grandma saw him turn his life around. I'm sure she was very proud of the young man she raised.
Love you man. The human side of athletes careers with a recognition of the fact that some kids have to do it on their own. Big fan.
Can you do a video on "the human joystick" Dante Hall. He was devin hester before devin hester and just disappeared
Justin Milicic yes he had his own symbol X
Great idea
With Dante Hall, it isn't so much that he declined or disappeared, it's just that special teams adapted to deal with him. Dante Hall played nine years, so he had a good career.
Yes dyde
YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS
Bro you have a gift in telling stories 🔥
Fr
Yeah but all of this is edited. It's not like he went through the whole story non stop without error or taking a break.
Rhonda Jackson shut up hater
He has a gift for telling fairy tales.
@@rhonda1704 obviously lol. You think ESPN isn’t edited?
Most content would be unwatchable without editing because we’re all human.
Still...that intro was 🔥
FlemLo, the introduction to this video was by far the best I've seen from u. The way u spun the name and related to this man's life was phenomenal. Keep up the good work.
You're a talented storyteller. As a Titans fan, I've always watched Pacman from afar and was happy to see him turn it around
I remember in the 8th grade i was a fan of tna wrestling and told my friends pacman jones was wrestling, they all thought i was screwing with em
Thanks for finally making this I'm glad to finally learn what happened to Adam Jones
Bruh i live in Atlanta and we all knew to leave the strip club early when he showed....1 becuz he gon take all the guls and 2 becuz u never know if the bullets gon fly
Lol fuck that shit
I STOPPED GOING TO BLAZE ALSO, BECAUSE OF THAT DAMN FOOL !
Should I be laughing at this or seriously concerned 🤔
@@dibslin985 what's your interest? lifestyle?
Willy Enjoyed Your Play List ! That Ass Speaks to Me !!!
I'm very happy for him and for his family. I had a lot of doubts about that guy, obviously for good reason, but I am very happy that he figured things out and that he got on a good path in life
Do a vid on the best sleeper prospects in this years nfl draft
maybe even just one or a couple sleeper prospects with crazy backgrounds/life stories?seems more up flem’s ally than making a sleeper list
Literally a bad person
8:46 Who the hell put R-truth on here? Lmao
Gary Bell what’s up!!!
😂😂😂
The truth has set me free
R truth was his tag team partner in TNA they held the belts atone time
kelly robinson kinda only because they paid him for a certain amount of dates it’s was a horrible move part for the sting and Kurt angle storyline
I found ur channel a few days ago and have been binging it since. This story is by far my fav so far. I love how Pacman persisted and eventually turned his life around despite every thing working against him. He was always a personal fav. Love ur channel bro. Keep up the amazing story telling and journalism, and above all your positivity.
Adam Pacman Jones went from a cautionary tale to basically a success story. For him to go through everything he went through from childhood to adulthood and still somehow produce a 14 year NFL career with all the trouble he got into along the way, is actually a miracle.
8:46 did this man really throw r-truth on the screen? 😭😭😭
They were a tag team in TNA 😂
shoutout Adam he’s actually a real chill dude, used to live in anderson township when i was in hs
Lives down from me in amelia noa
Love your channel man. Really getting me through this quarantine bro. Thank you for always working so hard to bring us the real talk on these players.
Man I’m so glad he turned his life around. When I saw him on Pros vs Joes back in the day I thought that was it. Dude was hella talented and was wasting it. I was really critical of him but now that you talked about his background I can empathize with him.
Yo why? He's still a horrible person just because this dude makes a video acting like every single incident isn't a big deal and it's never his fault I guess. Weird how he's always the common denominator.
Fun fact Cam Newton and Pac-Man went to the same highschool
Did they meet then?
Musa Fawundu I think so
Master Of Cap Westlake Brother! My big brother went there with Cam and no Adam and Cam didn’t meet there unfortunately. Pac-Man graduated in 2002
Their both from around Roosevelt Hwy but Cam from Welcome all Road and Pac-Man from a lil further down. But they had to walk to the same stores on Roosevelt Hwy, Cam grew up across the street from Welcome all Park. Cam was always the tallest one out there, all I can hear in my head is him sayn imma check New Orleans once I knew he became famous.
The Goat WestLake High produced more NFL player than any school in the country, Eric Berry was there with one of them too I can’t remember who.
Pacman talked to me when I was just starting junior high ball my coaches reached out to him cause I was a little knucklehead from the same part of town he was his words helped me get right and stay out of trouble he's a great dude
Kinda sounds like bullshit to me!
Yeah somebody from over there wouldn't have that lame name and pic
"little knucklehead"
@@Mattology1 lmao soon as I read dat shit I was thinking dis dude pump faking!!
Nice
Just looking at the first five years of his life, yeah..... I'm impressed.
Always wondered how this amazing talent fell off so quickly.
I remember watching him ball out while with the Titans, and later, the Bengals.
Very similar player to Asante Samuel.
I have so much appreciation for this mans creativity. Like how does he continue to find every unique story that no one else talked about
The way this guy tells the story of someone’s life is well put together. He should get way more recognition
I like the way he tell his stories
FlemLo thanks. You always provide in-depth information, a backstory and pull all these great players back to human. You've changed my opinion more than once. Thank you for setting me straight... again.
Came across this video and I am hooked! Love your channel. You are giving it to us bit by bit without tearing the player down regardless of what has occurred in their lives! Keep 'em coming!
Thank you for making this video. Adam Pacman Jones is one of my favorite defensive backs.
The ghost of his past never stopped chasing Adam. That's UA-cam gold
jason35188 for real, I was just about to comment how perfect that opening is.
You have impeccable character. Great job on the video! You had my attention from the beginning!
Thanks!
100% as always! You sir are my favorite sports dude on you tube! I enjoy how in depth u go on these stories. I have new respect for Pac man and am glad he's gotten straight!
Pac-Man Jones: “wow, I guess this school thing isn’t that bad?”
10 second later
He gets in a fight 😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭😂
I remember in the 8th grade i was a fan of tna wrestling and told my friends pacman jones was wrestling, they all thought i was screwing with em
The club owner:
Its all pac man jones
Pac man jones: quiet sussner
Dude was pretty solid on the broncos a few years back he didn’t play much snaps but the snaps he did play he gave his all, Got to respect the Man.
What do you mean "a few years back"? Pacman played for the broncos for one season less than 2 years ago.
@@PoopyDoopy39 that's what I was thinking? 🤣🤣🤣
Love these videos man. You really pull all viewpoints of people involved and make it a fair discussion. Keep em' coming!
Shout-out to FlemLo
I just want to say that this is probably my third ever comment ever on UA-cam. I’ve started watching your videos three days ago and haven’t stopped. Not because of the content, or because I’m a massive fan of football. But because of the way the content is DELIVERED.
My personality is similar to yours where we have a mediator mindset, as in we STRONGLY believe there are always two sides to a story. No matter how small one side is, regardless of the fact that it makes it ‘ok’ for a person to act the way they do. You lay out the facts, or even rumors, give your own opinion and ALLOW viewers to see everything with an open mind.
I love you man and all the work you put into these videos. CUE the WAYNE!
Dude, I love these videos. Since I've found your channel I have to missed a one. Keep up the great work man.
As a Titans fan he is definitely one of the few players I still remember . I wouldn’t call him a legend but he could definitely be considered pseudo legend
Another fantastic video!
You’re the best!!
Doing great works brother... I came across your UA-cam and am hooked. You bring light onto the darkness. Thank you.
Always with the heat man. Appreciate the hard work you do, always informative.
I'm a fan, great work. Gotta do "Hollywood" Henderson.
Awesome as always
Love your videos, always well spoken
Man I can't stop watching your videos. I Still got a long way to go as there are alot of them.! Thats a sign of a great story teller! Keep up the great work!✌🏽
I love the picture of R. Truth. The guy is awesome.
This narrative alone is why FlemLo needs to be much more acknowledged.
Incredibly impressed with this man's content. Thorough and really entertaining.
Flemlo you're the best thing on UA-cam sports man, and I can tell you've put in the work. What you're doing is NOT easy.
Nuts that he and AB careers intersected at that moment. Seems like his craziness transferred to AB lol
I mean yes and no, AB was doing things before the hit but they weren't never publicized. If you listen to Ryan Clark he'll tell you how he got the big head soon as he got his first deal. The worst thing to happen to AB unfortunately was becoming a superstar. I think Flemlo should do a What happened to Antonio Brown video soon. I don't think he's gonna make it back to the NFL personally but we'll see.
@@rdogletree4543 I wonder if he's gonna try to play in the XFL next season
@@AmokCanuck I wouldn't think so and it would be an embarrassment for an All-Pro WR to be in that league during his prime. I know he wants to play but he wouldn't make nearly the same amount of money. Could he get any endorsements in that league? Would it help him get back into the NFL? Might be his only shot of playing again but I would probably just retire first.
@@rdogletree4543 yeah that's true his ego is probably way to big at this point to allow it
I thought you were referring to Adrienne Broner. I forgot Antonio Brown was also a knucklehead. I guess you should never give your child the initials AB.
I am just shocked that he didn't end up like Tupac and got shot in a drive by in a place like Vegas or hell out in the streets with all the ruckus he was involved in. I mean usually a guy would be spending time in prison like you saw with Lawrence Phillips. Luckily for Pacman, he made due with basically his last chance and took advantage of it.
Pac was a thug but Pacman a different breed Pacman is another 50 center where u can roam the hood and niggas know
Thanks for this video. I wish nothing but the best for Adam Jones.
Thanks for your excellent work telling these stories. Your ability to add detail and fairly balance opinion, perception and fact really bring out the humanity of your subjects. You help us put things in perspective...Personalities, sport, careers, ambition, teams, achievement, family, right and wrong...Thanks.
Loved Pacman since he came to the league, always wished he got help so that way he could be a better player and father as well. Glad he finally did.
jerry jones hired that bodyguard to get him his picks lol
These videos are incredible! I have learned so much thank you sir! Have been binge watching for the last 2 days lol
Your videos paint the picture for those who before would never listen, huge fan of all your videos 🙏 Keep them coming 🙌
I always think it's funny when Flem says "one" at the end of his vids, but throws up three fingers.
This was a good story. As always, I can see the effort you put in to do the research and the history. I’m glad Pac-Man can have a happy ending. I’d like to see a story on Chris Henry or the Bengals in the 2000s and why they had so many players in trouble.
I like the way Flemlo presents these videos very accurate and unbiased keep doing what you are doing young man.
These are so very well done! You have a real talent for this! Keep up the great work
Damn man i love your videos, never dissapointed. Cue da Wayne
@@jamesthomas1649 its a football video not a gay porn homie
Dropped a like before Wayne was qued hahaha👌🏾 Pac-Man!! Here we go!
JB3Paints UGAWD ltd* Hahaah love this guy. Love his channel . Love Wayne . Love his music . HATE that song lol
I may have commented this on another video, I'm not sure but I definitely thought it. Your commentary's and documenting of these players actually make me want to follow football much more than I do😀.
Another AWESOMELY told story flem. I missed this one
Pacman's family lived up the street from me in early 2010s. Every weekend was a incident. They were cool people though just a lot of disfunction.
Am I the only one who says "QUE THE WAYNE" with flemlo ? 😂😂
Not at all lol
Your documentaries are awesome, superior work love it.
Cue. Not que.
Good content as always, thanks
Good video G excellent commentary along with visuals
Pac Man did give that dude at the airport that work though 🤣.
You remember that? Lmfao
@@producedbykhireyakeem4340 I remember TMZ video lol
That dude deserved to get his ass kicked,, "you at work man ,, keep your comments to yourself "!!! Smh
15:01 Heard that phone vibrating bro, you got a notification.
This channel is great I’ve been hooked. Your docs and story telling way better then the nfl network
You are a pure soul Flem… you see the good in everyone and give those who make mistakes the benefit of the doubt and that’s awesome. Keep up being the God given great role model and the world is a much better place with you in it. God Bless
Adam Pacman Jones is like a real life version of Kason Teague from Ballers. 🤣🤣
kindley fernand Dude can’t stay out of the strip club.
RIP
@@SES4L 😢 🙏
Love the vid
You always put out quality videos but this is definitely one of the better ones. Keep up the good work flemlo
One of the best videos you've done. FlemLo you are the best in this business
19:35 Still mad at the fact that he dropped the Popeyes chicken at the airport.🤣🤣
Any idea if it was spicy, crispy, etc?
@@csn6234 it was the chicken sandwich 🥪
Man i remember pacman he was my favorite player for a little bit
Great videos. Glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work!
Great video my dude! You did some research, great info and I can tell you put that work in ✔️ 💯
West lake Alumni LIONS STAND UP‼️ class of 2019
Hope you see this bro, I grew up watching your videos since under 50k no dreadz and lil less swole lol playin games a few years out of highschool getting into watching UA-cam. You motivate and entertain lots of people through your story telling, good vibes, and comforting tone. I pray for the milly. I’d be a UA-camr if I even knew where to start. But college is hard enough 😂 god bless bro keep getting your bag. See you on the next vid. 🤙🏽 SATX’UIW
I enjoyed your commentary my man!!! Very good and keep it up....
Thanks for dropping the knowledge
Flemlo: Cue the suspense music
Dj: what genre is that
“aw man this is nice” *gets in a fight* i was dying
Always a great show. Thanks Flem !!!!
I just got mind blown by the analogy used within the first 1 minute and 12 seconds of the video. That was smooth FlemLo and thanks for the video
This is what I hope for Josh Gordon, he is the most talented receiver ive ever seen🤷♂️
I love these vids and appreciate them!
There is a certain QB who was the laughing stock of the sports world and hit rock bottom and then came back up as a respectable individual. Any future plans for Ryan Leaf?
These videos are Goated my dude keep it up
Man looking at production value from your 2017 vids to now, it's insane. Good stuff man
Born a mountaineer fan
He was always one of my favorite players, on the field anyway
Off the field, he could've made better decisions
That's prob an understatement lol
Matthew Beaver also Born a mountaineer fan wv native and you said it well
He could've made better decisions,, just glad he made it thru
