      Video released of Pacman Jones at nightclub

      July 17, 2009 /

      For the many of us who wanted to learn how to “make it rain” in a nightclub, Adam “Pacman” Jones shows us in this video shot of him before the shooting incident that occurred in Vegas during the NBA All-Star Game weekend:

      Boy that Jermaine Dupri is one classy individual himself, isn’t he? How dare strippers go after money that’s thrown at them! The nerve! The NERVE!!!

      A stripper was punched repeatedly in the face, a woman was shot in the ear and a man was left paralyzed from the waist down after this incident. But hey, at least Pacman and Dupri taught strippers a valuable lesson that night about not grabbing money until they’re allowed to.

      Jerry Jones entertaining the idea of re-signing Pacman?

      June 8, 2009 /

      While it remains a long shot of happening, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is actually entertaining the idea of bringing back cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones according to a report by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

      Jones apparently isn’t concerned about Pacman’s off-field issues and is willing to look past the fact that he could be facing more legal problems stemming from an incident in which three men claimed that he hired a hit man to kill them in 2007. (Although to be fair, police have said that they’re not actively investigating the case even though it remains open, so it would appear that Pacman won’t be charged with anything.)

      Even if it’s a long shot that the Cowboys bring back Pacman, it’s baffling that Jones is even considering it. Outside of the potential headache that Pacman is off field, the Cowboys have a couple of young corners in Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick that they’re trying to develop. If Pacman were re-signed, Dallas essentially risks stunting the growth of those two players and for what? To have Pacman play until he gets into trouble?

      I thought Jones and the Cowboys were trying to move away from some of the locker room issues that they’ve had in the past? They released T.O. because Tony Romo and offensive coordinator Jason Garrett couldn’t work with him and now Jones is ready to bring back another potential distraction. It just doesn’t make any sense.

      Pacman can still play. When he wasn’t riding out a suspension last year, he was productive in coverage, was a reliable tackler and showed some big-play potential in returning punts. But it’s not a matter of if he’ll get into trouble off the field – it’s when. The guy fights with everybody (including his own bodyguards) and can’t be trusted.

      Jones seemingly can’t resist adding talent at any cost and he can’t help but believe that he can turn a troubled player around. But he needs to take a pass on this one and keep his team moving in the right direction. Nobody said he had to fill his locker room with choir boys, but that doesn’t mean he should take a risk by signing (or re-signing in this case) malcontents either.

      Jets interested in Pacman Jones?

      May 10, 2009 /

      According to a report by AOL FANHOUSE, the Jets are interested in cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones.

      Cornerback Pacman Jones still wants to play in the NFL.

      Whether or not somebody wants him remains to be seen. The Jets have expressed interest, according to someone close to Jones, but are waiting things out.

      Jones’ agent Worrick Robinson said he hopes to get his client signed by training camp and wouldn’t discuss which teams are interested.

      When asked if the Cowboys, Jones’ last employer, have requested a return engagement, Robinson said no.

      If the report is true and the Jets are interested, then Rex Ryan is going to learn his first lesson as a new coach: You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

      Every coach thinks that they can be the one that turns a troubled player around. I don’t doubt that Ryan has a strong enough personality to take on a player like Pacman, but why would he want to? The Jets have done a nice job acquiring defensive talent like Bart Scott, Lito Sheppard and Jim Leonhard this offseason, so why add a possible distraction like Pacman?

      Before anyone says it, yes, I know Jones has a ton of talent. But after the Cowboys acquired him last year, owner Jerry Jones hired people to watch his every move and Pacman wound up getting into a fight in a hotel room with one of the people paid to look after him. It’s almost becoming fact that given the opportunity, Pacman Jones will screw up.

      The Jets should take a pass on this one.

      Jerry Jones should be held personally accountable for keeping T.O.

      February 26, 2009 /

      After months of speculation regarding whether or not to release or trade him, Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones has decided to hang onto wide receiver Terrell Owens.

      Financially, this was a wise move. Cutting T.O. wouldn’t have created much cap space and there’s nobody on the open market outside of T.J. Houshmandzadeh who matches what Owens brings to the field. That said, Jones better realize that he has nobody but himself to blame if Owens turns around and makes a mess of things in the locker room this season.

      Something is wrong in Dallas, this much we know. They have more than enough talent on both sides of the ball to compete for a Super Bowl, yet they can’t even make the playoffs in a weak NFC. For the Eagles to make the postseason after looking so bad mid-year, there’s no reason a team composed of Owens, Tony Romo, Jason Witten, Marion Barber and DeMarcus Ware should miss the playoffs. And yes, Barber’s injury hurt the ‘Boys towards the end of the year, but a team as talented as the Cowboys should be able to overcome one player’s absence.

      The word that keeps coming up with this team is chemistry. The Cowboys don’t have enough good chemistry to win. If that’s the case, then that hangs on Jones’s shoulders and again, he should be held personally accountable. He put this team together and he’s the one that believes a bunch of malcontents like T.O. and Pacman Jones can survive under one roof.

      Jones jettisoned one bad apple (Pacman), but decided to keep another (T.O.). If the decision to keep Owens sours (pardon the apple pun) in the end, then Jones needs to look in the mirror and discover that the main problem is staring him right in the face.

      One and done: Cowboys cut Pacman Jones

      January 8, 2009 /

      The Pacman Jones experiment in Dallas has come to end after just one season, as the Cowboy released the cornerback on Wednesday.

      The Cowboys traded for Jones despite the cornerback’s suspension for the 2007 season after multiple off-field incidents while with the Titans. He was given another chance and cleared to play in 2008 by commissioner Roger Goodell.

      But on Oct. 7, Jones got into a scuffle with a bodyguard who was part of a team-employed security detail. A week later, Goodell suspended the cornerback indefinitely, which eventually turned into a six-week suspension. Jones missed a seventh game later in the season with an injury.

      The 25-year-old Jones spent part of his time away from football taking part in an alcohol rehabilitation program.

      Kind of funny that when the Cowboys desperately need cornerbacks to make a playoff push late in the year, owner Jerry Jones did everything in his power to get Pacman reinstated again after his most recent f-up. And now he’s promptly shoving him out the door.

      Despite Pacman netting zero interceptions and just a 4.5-yard average on punt returns, I think Jones got everything he needed out of the delinquent one. He got a rodeo clown for his circus (i.e. HBO’s “Hard Knocks”) and a warm body when the Cowboys were hurting with injuries late in the year.
