	The Cowbys better hope there locker room or coaching staff can make Pac Man Jones change his ways. If they don't make this a priority, then Jones will only be on the field for a year if that long. This is one player that gets in trouble not once or twice but a dozen reports in what 3 years. I personally think he will be trouble until the day he leaves the NFL, but I could be wrong. I think this is going to be a move that blows up in the Cowboys face. But for you Cowboys fans lets only hope I am wrong or they don't rely on him to much.

	Why any team would want to put up with this thug and his childish ways is beyond me. There are plenty of players that are as good or better than him and they don't act like jerks off the field. IMHO the guy needs to be in jail instead of a locker room for the things he does. If it was once.......that's one thing, but when it happens several times there is something to look into. Innocent until proven guilty, true.....but if you surround yourself with thugs and felons, you become the same. PASS Dallas......just because TO is working out doesn't mean you are the "bad-boy" taming team of the NFL, you got lucky once, don't push it.

	All I can say is that if Odell Thurman got suspended for 2 full years for some of his antics, then there's no way Goodell can in good conscience allow Pacman back into the league this season. If he does, he will be setting a dangerous precedent of inconsistency regarding player suspensions

	The difference is TO is not a thug, a head case yes, but I don't think this guy is a bad person. Jones on the other hand is a Class A thug and a-hole. He could be wearing some gangs colors or a prison jumpsuit just as easily as a NFL uniform. He and guys like Travis Henry have no place in the game or society for that matter. It's about time the NFL started policing itself. Most other businesses do and it's time to look past the talent and what type of product the NFL wants to present. Most of the players are good citizens and put their best foot forward. Also, being young doesn't mean you have to be stupid. Jerry Jones is the NFL's version of George Steinbrenner or an Al Davis wannabe. Take your pick.

	Evidently someone knows something more than us. The Dallas Cowboys are a proud organization with a smart owner in Jerry Jones. Now do you think he would allow a deal made with a guy that's suspended from the NFL and not know his status? I don't think so. I believe alot of talk has happened behind the scenes and Pac Man Jones is going to have to walk the chalk line or else.

	Good post smittstyles, however, I believe the Tennessee Titans wanted to dump Jones before the draft and evidently the Dallas Cowboys wanted him. Even before he was reinstated. Someone knows more than us. The Titans got a 4th rounder? And if Pacman Jones doesn't work out, and I mean "not reinstated" the Cowboys pay the draft back? Come on !

	This would be a great pick-up for the Boys. Pacman is a shutdown corner. DO you know he was never beaten for a touchdown in college at WV. He is also a nasty returner. The extracurriculars are easy. You screw up and you're out at no cost to Dallas. But if you can keep it clean, then we'll be talking Superbowl. I am a bit worried about wide reciever though. We should have gone after Bryant Johnson. I don't think rookie wideouts perform all that well. I would rather trade for a stud wide-out (not Chad Johnson). We should just see if someone is willing to trade a true number 1 or 2 for some picks or players. I wouldn't mind unloading Roy Williams and I think Hamlin is overrated too.

	Pacman may be a nasty player, but that doesn't stop him from doing stupid crap, like throwing money to strippers and then demanding it all back and having one of his cronies go shoot up a bunch of people. Dumb move, Dallas. You might have someone to join Tank Johnson in the cuff club.
