Pacman Jones Fights at Pros vs. Joes

It seemed pretty likely that, when Pacman Jones (I don't think we should have to use "Adam" if he's not behaving) signed up to join the awesomely sad Pros vs. Joes reality television show, he had officially hit the low point of his football career.
That's saying a lot, considering there was somewhat of a debate about whether or not he's addicted to strip clubs. But things amazingly took a turn for the worse because, as Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times reports (via Florio), Pacman got in a fight while filming the show. I know, I know, we're tired of Pacman. But keep reading. It gets better.
Anyway, [Dan] Adams [a "Joe"] stuck Jones at the goal line, jarring loose the football. It was pretty funny, because Jones had been talking trash to that point, referring to Adams as "Waterboy." A few minutes after the hit, the two exchanged punches and had to be separated.
"He hit me 10 yards out of bounds, kind of a cheap shot," Adams said. "I couldn't sit there and not retaliate. You've got to have some pride and dignity."
It's not even worth addressing the whole "pride and dignity" thing; the joke is better punctuated without any further discussion. But it's odd that Pacman kept calling this guy "Waterboy" considering that Adams played linebacker at Holy Cross (can Simmons get him on the B.S. Report) and he set an NCAA single-game record for most solo tackles with 21.
Whatever, the point here is that Pacman, by somehow managing to get into a fistfight on a reality television show not named The Surreal Life, has not only managed to sum up his career in one brief moment, but he's most likely sentenced himself to a life that will never include the NFL again.
