Pacman Jones

Dave Campo's take on the Dallas Cowboys circus atmosphere hit the bulls-eye.

"The Cowboys always have distractions," Campo said. "That's part of being a Cowboy. If you can't handle those things, you're not going to do well in this organization, really."

Only Jerry Jones can deny that the Pacman Jones drama has the potential to turn into a major distraction. It's up to the Cowboys players to make sure that doesn't happen while they battle for a playoff berth.

"When he comes back, you've got to embrace him,'' said Dallas tight end Jason Witten. "He's a good football player. Hopefully, we keep those distractions as little as possible. But the team's got to stay focused. We can't allow that to be a distraction for us. That's not easy. We all understand that."

The general consensus among the players that talked in the locker room today was they would try not to worry much about Pacman.

"Hopefully he isn't a distraction," Williams said. "I don't know him. We're going to keep on truckin'. We can't let him pull us back. We're going to keep going, and he's going to have to catch up with us."

    A good talent gone to waste. He and DeAngelo Hall will never meet potential until they admit they are that good. Right now PACMAN will be PACMAN unitl he decides to earn the title Mr. Jones.

    I guess the NFL endorses thugs and criminals.. GOOD JOB GOODELL FOR RUINING THE IMAGE OF FOOTBALL.. this used to be Americas game, no its the prison systems game.. how many more times will he be allowed to screw up before he is kicked out for good? time will only tell.. we need a commissioner with some nuts.. do something about this. this is not what football is about.. what is this teaching the younger generation? that you can be a criminal and be successful doing it? Jerry Jones deserves just as much blame as Goodell does. This is not what football is about.. He fines players for big hits, but he welcomes back thugs into the league with open arms.. I'm tired of hearing about this.. I'm tired of all the Cowboys' drama.. the best thing Goodell could have done was suspend Pacman for life. The right to play in the NFL is a privilege right? I guess not..

    I bummed out to hear the Felix is gone for the season. The word is that he stumbled in practice and tore the ligaments in his toe. It's similiar to the LT injury that has bogged him down for two years. I'm a bit worried about Felix. He does have the youth factor going for him so it might not be such a long recovery. He will have surgery very soon to repair the ligaments. I was really counting on Felix returning to form around the playoffs and providing an edge in the return game and outside runs. Tashard Choice is going to have to step it up from this point on. We'll see.
    As for Pacman, this really isn't that big of a story. He will not be much of a factor when he returns. It will take him some time to get back into "playing shape." I'll be happy if he just returns punts and provides depth to the nickel and dime packages. Anything above that is a bonus. I know that the media and haters will jump all over this like it is the anti-christ returning to the Cowboys due to Jerry Jones and Goodell summoning him from the depths of hell. It's actually quite the opposite. Both men realize that Pacman's only chance to change his life is to have football provide the positive reinforcement. This was a mercy call and nothing more. I don't think the Cowboys are going to expect much from him. In fact, I'll wager that both Jerry Jones and Goodell understand that this move will most likely hurt their reputations. But, it also shows that both are willing to make that sacrifice if it means giving Pacman one final chance to save himself. I'm onboard with the move. I don't expect much but I understand why they had to do it. Jerry does care about winning perhaps more than he should but the only thing that trumps this desire is his loyalty to his employees. That loyalty is a private affair and not subject to our scrutiny. There is always more going on behind the scenes than ever reaches the media. I hope Pacman turns it around. I don't expect it, but that doesn't change anything.

    All the Cowbores need to do is trade for Oucho Stinko and the will have every idiot in the NFL on their roster. I guess that fits considering their owner.....Not a distraction, um, yeah, and Dubyuh was a good president.........
