Door still open for Pacman; not so much for Matt Jones

Monday, 8 June 2009

I caught up with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones in his private suite after the George Strait concert Saturday night. He was celebrating a wildly successful opening night for the new Cowboys Stadium. At least until I told him about the absence of straws. Fans paid $6 for sodas in souvenir cups with lids but didn’t get any straws because someone forgot to order them.

But before thatJones talked about the rave reviews he got about the stadium from guests in his suite Saturday night, including Troy Aikman, Jason Witten and former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson.

Jones was so happy that he volunteered a little Cowboys news regarding his continued interest in cornerback Adam Pacman Jones. The Cowboys owner said nothing is imminent or even in the works toward bringing Pacman back to the Cowboys.

But he acknowledged that it is something he is considering, which rates as big news considering Pacman was cut in January after a nondescript season on the field in 2008 and more controversy off of it in the form of a six-game suspension for fighting his body guard at a Dallas Hotel.

Jones said that Pacman Jones graded out as the team’s best cornerback last season. But he says he likes second year cornerbacks Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick and is worried about stopping their progress.

Regarding another NFL player with the last name Jones and off the field issues, Jerry Jones said the Cowboys have no interest in former Arkansas receiver Matt Jones. Matt Jones was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars after failing a drug test and violating the terms of his probation from a previous arrest for felony possession of a control substance.

Thanks for commenting, Rebecca.

While I don’t share your point of view, at least you took the time out of your day to drop a line.

It’s been nearly two months since I’ve seen a post on this contemptible website. What’s the matter? Cat got your keyboard? You got nothing to complain about, you bums you? You coelenterates — whose side are you on anyway?

Emperor, we’re all Cowboys fans here…if you disagreed with the signing of T.O./Pacman, trading down vs. drafting Brady Quinn, etc, it doesn’t make you a traitor.

Thinking our President is doing a bad job doesn’t make you anti-American, does it?

If you think Jerry Jones is doing a fantastic job, more power to you…being a better/more educated Cowboys fan, though, you’ll be willing to hear a different perspective, right?

You have to admit that Jerry Jones isn’t flawless. For some, the good outweigh the bad. For others, the bad outweighs the good.

You’ll find the most vehement Cowboys fans support Jerry Jones hiring a real GM…The purpose is to return the Cowboys to prominence and that’s what Cowboys fans do, right?
