Pacman
Jones did a three-hour interview with Michael Irvin yesterday on 103.3 FM in
Dallas yesterday. What in God's name could Pac and the Playmaker talk about for
three hours? Politics? Religion? Literature? Surprisingly, they didn't cover
any of those subjects.
They did cover a lot, though, and the aptly-named "Dallas Cowboys Blog"
at the Dallas Morning News liveblogged
the whole thing. The nation is appreciative. At least, I am.
Highlights:
• "It's getting to the point where it ain't no time for slip-ups
right now," Pacman
said. "It's like I'm on the cliff right now. One slip-up and it's off
the cliff."
• "I'd be really lucky to get another shot," he
said.
• Said
Pacman of his visit to a New York strip club before his disciplinary meeting
with Roger Goodell: "It was a bad decision. It was one of the dumbest decisions I've ever made. ... It's just not going to happen anymore."
• On
his current ability: "I'm the best. Hands down. As far as the complete package goes, I'm the best."
• On his ability to help the Cowboys: "I can help them win," Pacman said. "That ain't no problem. I'm good for two wins a year by myself."
• Will he ever go back to a strip club? "I cannot say ever,
ever," Pacman
said. "But I can say they won't see me [in strip clubs] for the next
three or four years."
So there it is. The Dallas Cowboys Blog team painted a picture of a guy who was
alternately showing contrition, and then offering up excuses for various arrests
before ultimately taking responsibility for them. The other notable theme, other
than that, appears to be supreme confidence.
Personally, I have more faith in his confidence than I do in his contrition. I
don't get the feeling he's truly sorry for what he's done, but at least he's
willing to act like he is, and that's a step, I guess. As for his claim of being
good for two wins a year, on his own? When he's at his best (and who knows what
kind of shape he's in right now), he's a gamechanger. He shuts down half the
field, and any time he touches the ball, he's a threat to score.
Oh, and that
flyer we posted yesterday that had Pacman attending some party hosted by
"Money"? Pacman's
not going to be there (no word yet on Young Spoaty). Apparently, some club
just decided to throw his name and picture on a poster, and Pac knew nothing of
it. I apologize to Pacman and to the readers for passing on bad
information, and frankly, I can't believe that a quality company like
"Cheap Ass Flyers" would be involved in such chicanery.

Stewert would have stopped that crap and Pacman would be better off today.
That said- Greenbay is America's team NOT Dallas ..

But as I said, I don't blame him a bit. Hope for his sake he can keep from taking that drag before the plane lands, so to speak.

Dubya stole his second chance to drive this country into the dirt, and Hilary lies about Bosnian sniper fire.
Oh, I "misspoke" that's what it is called when certain of the chosen few lie. Brothers of all colors, in these
jack swung, screwed, blued, and tatooed days; let us not needlessly cast off a great player in our most beloved sport. God, knows we need a diversion. However, I am sure that myself and #4 will call for his removal on the business end of Jones and Goodell's feet at the first butt naked club infraction. He is in a great environ for improvement with Deion, T.D. Jakes, and Calvin Hill there to help. Look at the T.O. conversion, he cried for a teamate, T.O.. Bush and Hilary are not showing any form of contrition.
