Pacman rants to 'gangster' Steelers, Tomlin: ‘Shut the **** up’
Pacman Jones was not able to play in Sunday’s AFC North clash between his Cincinnati Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers, confined to a walking boot because of a foot injury. But that didn’t stop him from getting in the middle of things.
First came a video Jones recorded and posted on Instagram before the game. In the video he said the Steelers have gangsters on their roster and told Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin to control his team ... but a little more emphatically. Here is a transcript of the video:
“I’m sitting here looking at the thing on ESPN. I guess Pittsburgh got all gangsters. Mike Tomlin need to tell his team to shut the f**k up and play football. (Nothing's going) to happen to 5-5 on the field or off the field. Dig that. Y’all want to go report so report that, bi**hes.”
“Five-five” is a reference to Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict, who has had beef with the Steelers throughout the year.
Here is what Jones tweeted out with the Instagram video before the game:
Then once the teams took the field, Jones didn't let the boot get in his way, getting into the middle of a pregame scuffle between the AFC North rivals.
And finally after the game, a 33-20 Steelers win which may have cost the Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton for the rest of the season, Pacman made sure the world knew he had no regrets about his video with this postgame tweet:
Below is video of his Instagram rant. WARNING: THE VIDEO IS BRIEF, BUT CONTAINS PLENTY OF FOUL LANGUAGE:
