Pac-Man Jones undergoes some corporate rebranding

Remember Pac-Man Jones, the troubled football player with such a long history of legal problems that he was suspended for all of last season, and only just now reinstated on a "screw up one time and you're dead to us" basis by the NFL? Well, he doesn't exist anymore. He'd like to be known by his given name of Adam Jones, thank you very much. Which reminds me of when a company has a horrible disaster, and as part of their crisis communications decides to "rebrand" themselves to get rid of the negative associations with whatever God-awful thing they previously did. Like when ValuJet changed its name to AirTrans Airways after one of their planes slammed into the Everglades due to massive safety failings.

(Personally, I was hoping he would have just moved on to a different 80s arcade name, such as "Frogger" Jones or "Q-Bert" Jones or "Elevator Action" Jones.)

Also, this guy would prefer if you just refer to him as George Kelly. He's really past the whole "machine gun" part. Thanks.
