- flashboy131, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2I have lived in NY, LA and Chicago and I don't think I have seen so many strip clubs in such a concentrated area.

- nahsrocketeer75, on 03/27/2008, -10/+6Hope the Cowboys get him so he doesn't get anywhere near the Patriots.
- Mewchu11, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1But he instinctively will, they're blue and white
- dafragsta, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1You mean like the Cowboys, who also love their bad apples?
- robbh66, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6If we got TO to shut his trap I'm sure we can deal with Pacman.
- dafragsta, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1You mean like the Cowboys, who also love their bad apples?
- zioxide, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1The Patriots don't want him.

- Conwaysb0718, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3Oh pshaw, you know he's just holding out for cherries!
- dumpyhumpy, on 03/27/2008, -2/+23With a title like "Cowboys sweeten offer for Pacman" I had such high hopes for what the article might contain...
- iamnobody8614, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4lol, I also did a double take. Sadly it's just about a football player whom I do not care about and not the semi-circular devourer that we all know and love.
- Elliuotatar, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1With a name like that, I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say this guy is black.

- proliance, on 03/27/2008, -2/+5Speaking as a Nashvillian, I'd be glad to give Pac Man a ride to Dallas.
- dafragsta, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4His bodyguards might shoot you.
- Conwaysb0718, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3*****, pacman might shoot you.
- srneu71, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2As a Titan's season ticket holder, I hope he's gone. This guy has had more than enough chances to turn it around. A move to Dallas won't fix what's wrong with Adam. This guy is going to get himself thrown out of the NFL or killed in the next 2 years.
- dafragsta, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4His bodyguards might shoot you.
- lazersailer, on 03/27/2008, -2/+3Valets and Stripper all across Tennessee are rejoicing.
Personally I was hoping he'd pursue Professional Wrestling.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacman_Jones#Professi ...- tbone8978, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5Why would they rejoice, sure he shot up the place, but he poured 10s of thousands of dollars all over the stage
- StevesJobs, on 03/27/2008, -3/+17I don't think the cowboys can handle the arrogance of T.O. and Pacman at the same time.
- dafragsta, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1You mean T.O., Pacman, and Jerry Jones
- robbh66, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2And all three of them are never on the field at the same time. They'll be fine.
- StevesJobs, on 03/28/2008, -0/+0JJ is the man, relax.
- Conwaysb0718, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3theres a definite threat to the space-time continuum...
- martyogelvie, on 03/28/2008, -0/+0I don't think Pacman is as arogant as TO but he definately gives him a run for his money in the STUPID category.
- Talastan, on 03/28/2008, -0/+0I believe the three of their heads combined are about big enough to create their own orbit, therefore disrupting the gravitational pull of the sun and send the earth hurtling through space.
- dafragsta, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1You mean T.O., Pacman, and Jerry Jones
- allengeer, on 03/27/2008, -3/+17I MAKE IT RAIN! I MAKE IT RAIN!!
{{throws 20 dollar bills up in the air}}
Pacman and T.O.???? Michael Vick next?- dafragsta, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2Naah, they're trying to get the quarterback from the Whole Nine Yards because Jerry Jones doesn't know it's fiction.
- robbh66, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4Bruce Willis is a hitman and Matthew Perry is his dentist or something- what the hell are you talking about?
Besides... we have Tony Romo- we dont need a new QB.

- shakbhaji, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Don't forget Tank Johnson.

- hesitaliandad, on 03/27/2008, -3/+10As a Nashville resident and Titans fan, I say see ya bitch
- FeargusMcDuff, on 03/27/2008, -6/+3You yanks have some wacky names!
- musleypope, on 03/27/2008, -0/+8It's just a nickname, his name is Adam Jones.
- rabidg00se, on 03/27/2008, -1/+10Thanks, Feargus.
- dumpyhumpy, on 03/27/2008, -1/+1...McDuff
- JazzCatDRP, on 03/27/2008, -5/+6I'm a diehard Dallas fan, but I'm still wondering why we've now had two Cowboys articles on the front page in the last week...
- papipablo, on 03/27/2008, -7/+2Dugg down for being a Cowboys fan.
- JazzCatDRP, on 03/28/2008, -1/+0Dugg down for not being a Cowboys fan.
- papipablo, on 03/27/2008, -7/+2Dugg down for being a Cowboys fan.
- skews13, on 03/27/2008, -2/+7yeah,well good luck pacman. your going to find that texas law enforcement isn't going to be putting up with your childish ***** like you've been used to in the past.
- Blackbolt, on 03/27/2008, -5/+4Wait...is his name really Pacman or is this some sick joke?
- Metsin7, on 03/27/2008, -2/+1Don't you know who I am? Who I play for?
"Yes, but your still going to jail, this is Texas son!" - kburns, on 03/27/2008, -1/+1Over/Under on PacMan getting arrested after signing with Dallas: 3 days.
Any takers?- diothar, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1I give him 3 weeks, you know, he'll have to get his bearings straight first. As a Cowboys fan, we need a very strong cornerback... that's where we are lacking, but is it worth the gamble? I'm not sure.
- slvrbullet87, on 03/27/2008, -1/+3What happend to all of the felons going to play for oakland?

Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones is the poster child for everything that is wrong with the NFL. NFL teams continue to draft thugs and convicts without regarding for their moral character or criminal record. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is considering a proposal where NFL players will be kicked out of the league after three strikes.
Here is a rap sheet look at all of Pacman’s brushes with the law since joining the NFL’s Tennessee Titans:
July 13, 2005- Arrested and charged with assault and felony vandalism after a nightclub altercation. This began Pacman Jones NFL rap sheet. He already had a lengthy one from high school and college.
September 5, 2005- Adam was invited to attend the Nashville Sports Council Kickoff Luncheon. Jones went off on a verbal tirade while being told to wait for his car after the event. He then refused to tip the valet service.
October 2005- State of West Virginia filed a petition stating that Jones had not been contacting his probation officer and that he had not reported his July 2005 arrest. The judge extended the probation for just 90 days.
March 23, 2006- Charged with marijuana possession in Fayetteville, Georgia. He went on to claim that he knew how to beat the NFL’s drug test.
August 25, 2006- Arrested for disorderly conduct and public intoxication after being ordered by the cops to leave a Murfreesboro night club several times. Jones claimed a woman stole his wallet. The woman claimed that Jones spat on her. The judge in the case gave Pacman six months probation and told him to stay away from the club.
October 26, 2006- Jones was issued a citation for misdemeanor assault after a female student from Tennessee State University claimed that Jones spit in her face at a Nashville night club.
Feburary 19, 2007- The facts are disputed and no charges have been made yet, but Jones was in the middle of a fight and shooting at a strip club in Las Vegas that left one man paralyzed and two more wounded. The fight broke out after Jones showered strippers on stage with $81,000 dollars. The club owner claims Jones was beating a strippers head against the bar while claiming to kill one of the club’s employees.
January 3, 2008- Pacman is accused of punching Wanda S. Jackson in the face at an Atlanta strip club called the Body Tap Strip Club. Jackson says Jones reached over the counter and sucker punched her in her left eye.
The above time line doesn’t include his sentence of one year in prison for a bar fight in Morgantown, West Virginia while in college. The sentence was later suspended in exchange for two years of probation (because he is a really good football player).
Here is a look at the options the Tennessee Titans have if they decide to cut Pacman Jones. He doesn’t only need to be cut, but Jones needs to serve some time. He has been given preferential treatment his entire life because he is good at playing football.- tehjarvis, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2You can take the boy out of the ghetto...
- whitezombie420, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2wow this dude sounds awesome. but not to play on my team.
- mal1964, on 03/27/2008, -4/+4Packman also gets his own Cowboys promotion with the deal. "Packman's bring your own gun night" and if you donate an extra gun to Packman, he will autograph your gun and give you a copy of his book "How To Get Arrested"
- Conwaysb0718, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1ya know... including the K once in your statement was forgivable. but all three times just makes ya ig'nant.
- mal1964, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1 I didn't make your forgivable list?
- Conwaysb0718, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Sadly, no. But cheer up, there's always a next time!
- mal1964, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1 I didn't make your forgivable list?
- Conwaysb0718, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1ya know... including the K once in your statement was forgivable. but all three times just makes ya ig'nant.
- Tomson74, on 03/27/2008, -1/+4who cares?
- PolishLogic, on 03/27/2008, -1/+6I hear they offered two extra ghosts, 3 more pieces of fruit, and an extra energizer.
- NenDaiKi, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1If this were still a world where Titans fans had to be fed illusions to feel their were any hope of a return to the day of glory this would be sad for them. Unfortunately for Kearse anyone who would have missed him won't because while he is an illusion, Jevon Kearse never was and he's back. When he fails to do anything for the Cowboys they'll get over him themselves.
- CaptainHello, on 03/27/2008, -1/+0Pacman got his nickname from his grandmother after she saw him gulping down milk. True story.
- offspring06, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2I thought the story was about some cowboys buying a Pacman arcade machine. I guess Pacman is a football player.
- JohnnyHotballs, on 03/27/2008, -0/+10When will the Cowboys get Megaman Jenkins?
- gyronic, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1LOLZ!!!!!!!! Like this is anything new in pro sports. Stop pretending hes anything out of the norm.
With that rap sheet he couldn't even get a job as a janitor, only in pro sports!
Decades now of sports fans employing ciminiminals by buying their costumes and watching the grown men roll around on the ground. - MoralThreat, on 03/27/2008, -2/+3As a 20 year plus 49er fan I applaud this trade.
- Conwaysb0718, on 03/28/2008, -1/+3Been a rough couple years, hasnt it?
- MoralThreat, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Yeah it has been, I'll admit it. Still they could go 0-16 (which wouldn't suprise me) and I'll still route for them. As least I'm not a Raiders fan.
- Conwaysb0718, on 03/28/2008, -1/+3Been a rough couple years, hasnt it?
- therealbht, on 03/27/2008, -3/+1I know I'll probably get completely dogged for this, but this is a good move by the Cowboys. Pacman seems genuine in wanting a second chance, and Jones will restructure his contract down to a 1-year deal. So, if he screws up, they can deactivate him and he'll be gone in a year. However, if he keeps his head on straight, as many other troubled players have done after coming to Dallas, then the Cowboys get a monster C/KR/PR guy for next to nothing.
As a diehard Cowboys fan, I'm willing to give the guy a shot...- srneu71, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Pacman took at a full-page ad in the local Nashville paper stating how he was going to start fresh. Then he was arrested 2 more times. This guy is looking for an 8th chance. He's a cancer ... you will see what I'm talking about when if you sign him.
- papipablo, on 03/27/2008, -3/+2Kill a dog, go to prison. Punch a woman, play for the Cowboys.
- SoxFanNH, on 03/28/2008, -2/+2Great he will fit in perfectly...
- DigitalHippie73, on 03/28/2008, -1/+0When I read the title of this article I was very intrigued and excited. You can imagine my disappointment when i found out that it was just something about football. =(
- Millsee, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Where's the ghosts, the pills and the floating eyes?
WHERE?
Gutted. - strobelite33, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7I think (hope) I speak for much of Dallas when I say:
DO NOT WANT! - secondfiddle, on 03/28/2008, -2/+0Lets hope the Cowboys make a sweet offer for pacman, LOL. Pro sports bloated salarys are another thing thats wrong with this country. You go pacman, wagga wagga.
- aristoworks, on 03/28/2008, -1/+3They can certainly have him. People in Nashville hate him regardless of his capabilities on field.
- whitezombie420, on 03/28/2008, -0/+53 front page stories about the boys in one week. i like it. :)
- brion182, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4As an Eagles fan I must say this is not good, not good at all.
- RandomHugs, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1I see what you did there. Also, thanks for T.O.
- rtgordon, on 03/28/2008, -1/+2If he can keep it together for one year... one year...
Pacman + Mcfadden + TO = :D
I calling it right here right now. gnite.- doomchronage, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1= 1 and out in playoffs?
- papipablo, on 03/28/2008, -2/+1Now both Cowboy's players and fans are scumbags.
- sukmydigg, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1I am a cowboy fan, but who gives a ***** about this? It has been running on the damn bottom-line of SportsCenter all day. It's a damn late round pick and a player. I don't get all the fuss.
- martyogelvie, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1It should be a low risk trade for the Cowboys. late 2nd day pick, incentive laden contract and if he screws up, he's gone. Sure you risk some PR hit with this signing but the reward far outweighs the risk. If he screws up, cut him. The Team as enough vets in the locker room to keep things in line. This is a no brainer if you ask me. Some team is gonna sign him, so it might as well be the Cowboys.
- Talastan, on 03/28/2008, -0/+0Thanks be that Herm Edwards doesn't want to spend any cash on free agents or Carl Peterson would've had this guy in the Kansas City locker room in a heartbeat. (Breathe a sigh of relief)
- unit451, on 03/29/2008, -0/+0I'm a cowboy fan and the idea of signing this jackass bugs the crap out of me
