All that stuff in which Pacman was involved in the past -- the arrests, fights, shootings, etc. -- yeah, all of that was perfectly normal. Just a young guy becoming a gentleman ... with an uncontrollable thirst for nude women:

"At the end of the day I can't keep looking at the past from two years or three years back. Hey, I used to love the strip clubs. I was 21, 22, 23 years old. Every gentleman, if you're normal, you love the strip clubs, too. Nice girls, young, nude ... All part of having fun when you're growing up." ↵↵There’s a lot to digest there -- like, what he means by “normal” ... and his use of “gentleman” to describe strip club aficionados -- but the highlight for me is the order in which he describes why he loves strip clubs. I don’t know about you, but when I’m looking for a good strip club, the most necessary requirements are that the dancers are friendly and young. Oh, if they could be naked, too, that would help. ↵
↵This quote, you might like to know, is from a Jay Glazer column in which he professes his newfound respect for Pacman after spending time with him on “Pros vs Joes.” (Speaking of, that scuffle on the set that the internet was in a frenzy over? Yeah, that was just Pacman doing what Glazer and the producers told him to do.) The piece didn’t present anything that we haven’t heard from Pacman before, so you’ll have to color me skeptical. Although I’m all for second third chances ... so long as it’s not with my team. ↵
