Jones dropped

During a segment about why Jones dropped his well-known nickname "Pacman," anchor Warner Wolf told Imus that Jones had "been arrested six times since being drafted by Tennessee in 2005.Imus asked, "What color is he?" and Wolf responded by saying that "he's African-American.""Well, there you go," Imus replied. "Now we know."The segment did appear to have a common theme with earlier segments, as Imus asked about the race of Rocco Mediate while discussing Tiger Woods winning the US Open.Imus returned to radio months after being fired by CBS under the sponsorship of Citadel Broadcasting Corp, with distribution by ABC Radio Networks.
