Now linked by an infamous on-air comment, radio bad boy Don Imus and NFL bad boy Adam “Pacman” Jones share a talent for recidivism.

Imus can’t help but make racist comments on this radio show. (It almost undeniable at this point that the disc jockey holds racist views.)

Jones can’t help but get arrested– six time sine being drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2005.
