By the way, the convicted shooter is in prison because Jones “snitched” at his trial and said he saw the guy do the shooting. This is after Pacman was heard by at least 6 people telling the guys that threw him out of the club “you won’t live to see the morning”.

Of course he will appeal—and he will lose. But as so many morons on here suggested he CANNOT file bankruptcy to get rid of the judgment. Not all debts are dischargeable in a filing. Plus he makes too much money to file.

I’m sure his plan is to keep appealing until his career is over-hide whatever cash (and Super Bowl rings he may have)- and THEN file. Or do a Bowie Kuhn (or an OJ if you prefer) and move to Florida.

If you are a monet tree you have to be careful. People will try to sue you for any damn thing. Pacman could have pushed the guy for instance as a melee started with other people pushing and shoving the guy around, yet he clearly remembers when Pacman pushed him. It doesn’t matter nothing happened to him. He can sue and claim psychological trauma, emotional trauma, and others in his suit.

Wonderful how America has become. You can get rich with a reality TV show (too many people do this) or you can find a way to sue a money tree in some way. What kills me is there are quite a bit of people that can’t understand this. Yes, Pacman has fault in this, but he didn’t paralyze the man. The man who fired the shot had the gun the whole time. What is he doing with it? I guess people don’t care about that and just worry about the money tree in this.

so he has to pay 11 million dollars for not shooing anyone?

sounds fair.
***********************************************
I gotta side with idealisticapathetic on this one !! why aren’t they hammering the actual “shooter” in this fiasco ? oh yeah, he’s BROKE ! so you gotta follow the money and make PacMan accountable for something he didn’t do. now THAT makes sense. Greedy suckubus, the guy in the wheelchair makes it sound like it’s all PacMan’s fault and is maliciously pursuing him. What a joke !!! Just after that free lunch……………

I mean, it’s even unsecured debt. Just put Urbanski’s name right along side of Citigroup Visa and file it. I mean, he’ll get something in the Chapter 13, but not all of that money.

While I think it’s insane for him to be financially responsible for the actions of another (imagine spilling a beer on someone, that someone fights you, a big fight errupts at the bar, one of the fighters shoots someone and now you owe that somene $11 million), 11 million is a number that Pacman will never make. You can bet your life that he didn’t save any of his rookie deal money and at 950k per year in the NFL he’s going to have to make it another 12 seasons to pay the judgement. So the shooting victim will get nothing when pacman declares bankruptcy.

Make it a reasonable number like $2 mil (he can live a pretty nice life in a pretty nice handicap accessible home for $2 mil), and Pacman will have no way to declare bankruptcy. 2 years salary is a heck of a punishment for pacman and the guy actually gets some money instead of judgement that will never get fulfilled.

I bet thats how it goes too. Shes already getting $750k for divorcing her now crippled husband.

Like we should pay people for giving up on their spouses after their spouse lost the ability to walk. Its nutz. Her marriage could have easily ended even if he wasnt shot,being in vegas id bet on it

Bankruptcy doesn’t make civil settlements, against a person, just disappear

I think from the very little info pft gave us this sounds like a horrible lawsuit

Can you imagine if every employ whos job is to engage unruly folks gets hurt, and sues?! Thats your job. I dont see how tossing 1′s around got you shot.

Sounds like the courts went after the closest wallet.

I just tried to find out who this “shooter”, who everyone suggests is in jail, was.

I couldn’t come up with any name.

Go ahead and Google “Who shot Tom Urbanski?” and see what you come up with.

What I did find out was that Pacman Jones and Nelly showed up with an entourage and a bag full of cash. They freely “showered” the stage with the money.

They CLAIMED afterwards that they supposedly had an agreement with the club promotor that the money was to be returned to Jones.

Now, what kind of moron drops $80,000 on a public stage and expects to get it back, is beyond me. But let’s believe this saint of a man for a moment.

A melee breaks out from Jones personally when he gats angry about the money. Jones and some of his “crew” need to be physically restrained, which Jones attempts to interfere with. All of this is apparently on videotape inside the club.

Jones – in front of several witnesses – threatens one of the bouncers that he will be killed. There is no dispute about that!

Jones and his party are expelled from the club, and the melee escalates in the parking lot. There is no duispute about this, either.

Someone – a person several people, as well as videotape inside the club, verify was with Adam Jones – steps out from behind a tree, and fires four shots into a crowd, hitting the bouncer that Jones threatened to kill, as well as a bouncer just coming to work.

Here’s the reason Pacman Jones is being sued, and no one else;

1) Jones THREATENED one of the bouncers who got shot, with death.

2) The shooter was known to have been with Jones in the club

3) Jones has repeated claimed not to have known the shooter, who was WITH him.

Adam Jones CREATED the problem in the club by “making it rain”, and then by demanding his money back, and creating a near-riot inside the club. HE set the stage for what happened. For that, he is essentially the guy who drove the get-away car, who is just as guilty for the robbery as the guy in the bank with the gun.

Moreso, the “shooter” was part of Jones’ “posse”.

Most important, Jones REFUSED to identify the actual shooter, who was known to be with him.

To those who criticize Tom Urbanski, read a little bit about what that man’s life is like, since the shooting. Ask yourselves one question: Would YOU change lives with Tom Urbanski if it meant having $11 million (which he wil likely never see) but be paralyzed for the rest of your life.

Would you?

I didn’t think so.

Pacman Jones created this incident, he escalated it, and he protected the actual shooter, people.

How can you say he doesn’t deserve this judgement????

Get educated and stop enabling jacka$$es like Pacman Jones.

Well I don’t think anyone doubted that.

Forget that Pac…. Get cut. Get a minimum wage job at McDonalds or something. You still gotta be able to support your family, so they can’t take everything. Let them take 50% of your McDonalds job and support your family on your NFL pension.

There’s no way in hell I’d bust my arse risking concussions and everything else while watching some greedy pig that was just in the wrong place at the wrong time cash my hard earned checks.

Pacman was finally on the path to getting his life on track, this is going to cause him to do something stupid to get the money. Really just a terrible situation and I can’t tell you how bad I actually feel for Pacman. He didn’t even paralyze the guy!!!

He SHOULD lose everything he has.

It doesn’t matter if he was the shooter or not, if he had not wanted to be so damn “cool” and “make it rain”, none of this would ever have happened.

Therefore, at least in my eyes, Pacman IS responsible and a jury of his/my peers agree with me.”

Yeah…and now we all know Grudenthediva has a paralegal for a roomate….

Oh yeah, almost forgot….

He lost any little bit of pride he had when he tried to take his $1 dollar bills back from the strippers, when he made it rain up in the club….

Will Pac Man return any punts this year for TD’s?
