Uneasy About This

Although it doesn't seem like things are all that "imminent" -- there's a world of difference between a third-round pick and a sixth-round pick -- I'm not thrilled about the prospect of this kind of talent entering the division:

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that a trade that would send suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Pacman Jones to the Dallas Cowboys is imminent. According to Schefter, the Cowboys and Titans spent Thursday discussing the trade and should be able to work out a deal soon.

Although Schefter reports that the teams are still a few rounds apart in discussing compensation — the Titans have asked for a third-round pick and the Cowboys have offered a sixth-round pick — the deal could get done within the next couple of days.

The kid's an idiot, but he's a solid corner and a great return man.  If the deal happens, we'd have to root for one of three things:

1. He remains an idiot and can't stay out of trouble.
2. Goodell doesn't let him back in.
3. He and TO get into a massive training camp smack talk fest that progresses to a brawl giving both players season-ending injuries.

It certainly would be awesome if the Cowboys traded their third-round pick for a guy who never got reinstated, though.

This one will be interesting to watch play out. I am tired of Jerry Jones picking-up all the troubled stars on the cheap. Goodell clearly stated when he made the revisions to the player conduct policy that he was going to hold the teams responsible for the players actions - not just the players. As the number of "chances" that Jones takes increases, the odds of one of the stupid fucks he picked-up doing something stupid and getting in trouble for it does as well. It will be curious to see Goodell has the balls to back-up his words. He seems to be relatively good at that to this point.

Well, I guess Dallas is the best place for Pacman. No strip clubs there, right?

Right?

(I'm a bit nervous about this...and I also wish the Eagles, who really need a return guy, would be in this conversation.)

Dallas has more strip clubs of any area on the planet.

I think he was being facetious...

[BriansS]

Sarcasm...I've heard that about Dallas. (I've also heard rumor that it sucks).

Make it rain, Pacman. Make it rain!

[Phil]

Yeah - make it rain in TO's locker.

Contrast TO's playoff tears with Gumbel's Pacman interview; "he's my quarterback (*sniff*)" vs. "I'm innocent."

Smack shall be spoken. And you don't have to pray for a brawl when there's a good chance Owens will have an absolute meltdown.

TO, Tank, and Pacman...what a nice crew they've assembled down there in Dallas.
