Do You Believe Imus?

On Monday's show we discussed the comments from Don Imus about Adam Jones also known as Pac Man Jones.

Here is the transcript acquired from a TV station's website in Jacksonville:


Wolf: "Defensive back Adam 'Pacman' Jones, recently signed by the Cowboys. Here's a guy suspended all of 2007 following a shooting in a Vegas night club."

Imus: "Well, stuff happens. You're in a nightclub, for God's sake. What do you think's gonna happen in a nightclub? People are drinking and doing drugs, there are women there, and people have guns. So, there, go ahead."

Wolf: "He's also been arrested six times since being drafted by Tennessee in 2005."

Imus: "What color is he?"

Wolf: "He's African-American."

Imus: "Well, there you go. Now we know."

Then later in the day on Monday Imus gave this reasoning and comments on his statement:

Later Monday, Imus responded to criticism of his comments, saying he had been misunderstood. "I meant that he was being picked on because he's black," Imus said in a statement released by his spokesman.

Question now stands for you the people who are listeners and hopefully readers of this show. Does Imus' reasons close the case for you? Do you believe him? Should he be fired?
