Following the Cincinnati Bengals' 23-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon, Adam "Pacman" Jones went on a rant about Terrelle Pryor's poor performance -- calling him 'garbage'.

"I was garbage that day. I had one catch, three yards. He was right. It was an accurate statement."

"A lot of kids look up to me ... I'm a role model to a lot of kids. I get a lot of messages, a lot of letters, hundreds of letters every week from kids and stuff like that. I want to teach my son you don't win battles, you don't win games by talking.

Words don't never do anything, you know? I'm a Godly man. I just live my life every day being humble and being kind. I live off of that.''

"I'm not a guy that causes any beef or drama on the team. That's not me. Am I on the sidelines fiery? Am I in the game fiery? Absolutely. I wouldn't think that the fans or my coaches or anyone else would want me to not play that way.

"And if I play any other way and just shut up and didn't do anything, I don't think I'd play as well, so I'm just continuing to try to get better. I've got to get better and that's all I'm looking forward to.''
