NFL Update:Oh To Be A Fly On The Wall At That Meeting

New Dallas Cowboys cornerback and offender of various crimes Adam Pacman Jones met with NFL Commissioner Rodger Goodell [ESPN] last week at the Spring Conference in Atlanta regarding his reinstatement into the NFL. The Dallas Morning News broke that Pacman has not been allowed to step foot on the Cowboys' Valley Ranch facility or take part in any formal team activities. According to the report he is hopeful that will change this upcoming week.




Pacman infamously missed all last season due to various accusations and convictions of felonies. He recently cleared up a $20,000 gambling debt at a Las Vegas casino after pressure from a Vegas district attorney.


Jerry Jones, that crazy billionaire Cowboys owner; and lover of all dramatic players and things, was of course on hand for commentary:



Jerry Jones says he has no time frame for any league decision and would not describe himself as optimistic. He also insists he's staying out of it. "I don't think it's my place to get in here and call them up and say, 'What'd he say? What'd he do? What do you think?'" Jones said.

I find that a little modest Jerry, and you Sir; have never been one to me modest. And what he do? yes, that is the appropriate question for anyone to ask when mentioning Pacman Jones- but not to the NFL commish.

"Cowboys are following orders, having no official interaction with Pacman Jones, not even giving him a playbook. But they are keeping tabs. 'Adam is really working hard and zeroing in on all the things that it takes to be an NFL football player,' Jerry Jones said. 'Relatively speaking he's in good shape -- certainly not ready to play a ballgame but nobody else out here is either. The main thing is he's working hard. I feel that he certainly will take advantage of this opportunity to play with the Cowboys. I think it's going to work.' Providing the commissioner gives him that chance, Jones quickly added."

Jerry Jones the rehabilitator, the giver- I love it.

Pacman has already moved to the Dallas metropolitan area and is clicking with his teammates instantaneously. He made an appearance at tigh end Jason Witten's charity bowling event, worked out with some Cowboys at SMU, and recently was at a party hosted by Deion Sanders.

"I teased him," receiver Terrell Owens said. "We went inside and were playing around on the basketball court, and I asked him if he was ready to play. He said, 'Yeah, but we're not going to no strip clubs this year either.' … Everybody is going to welcome him. "

Pacman has seen the error of his ways..see? no strip clubs. He's just hanging out with TO and partying with Dieon Sanders. This Jerry Jones 12 step program is genius.
