Pacman Jones Released by Dallas

According to ESPN's Ed Werder, Adam Jones' contract has been terminated by the Dallas Cowboys due to an allegation stemming back to 2007, when the mischievous cornerback was a member of the Tennesee Titans and suspended from the NFL.

Three Atlanta men told "Outside the Lines" that Jones had devised a plan where a third party would shoot them, after one of the men was involved in an altercation with Jones. Although the attack took place, the NFL did not take action against Jones because the victims had not seen the shooter.


It's getting more difficult to feel sorry for this guy.

I hate that a man is out of a job in order to avoid a terrible PR problem and the unfair & biased media coverage he'll be pelted with, but as soon as you think Jones has turned it around, something else happens.

A scuffle while drunk is relatively commonplace, but essentially hiring a hitman due to a disagreement is something completely different, whether the claims are true or not.

And while these allegations cannot be proven, I could definitely see something like this happening.

As a bystander, one would wonder why Adam Jones has not yet computed this simple equation; one as self explanitory as 'Mo' money = Mo' Problems'.

Pacman + Strip Clubs = Trouble

He should tie a strinng around his finger so he never forgets that.

The only upside (or downside, if you're a Giants fan) coming from this is the Cowboys can finally get a good punt returner.

Quick Notes:

-Congrats to Eric Mangini getting the HC job in Cleveland. I would have much rather seen him in New York but what's done is done.

-Good job by Ottawa's Jarkko Ruutu for making an NHL fight exciting for once. For years, hockey fights have been stagnant; primarily consisting of the 'Double Collar-Grab' and head punches. Several possible tactics have only been fabled by the guys in the bleachers. While waiting for the 'Skate Stab' and the 'DDT', Ruutu pulled off the perfect 'Hand Bite' on Andrew Peters of the Buffalo Sabres. For his successful attempt at entertaining the audience, Ruutu was suspended for two games, by the NHL.

Here's the video plus post-game comments.



-I finally got around to listening to The Cure's newest album '4:13 Dream', and I must say that the negative reviews are not warranted. While it is not a classic album nor The Cure's sound from the 1980's, it is still a solid project. 'Sirensong' is officially my "Jam of the Winter".
