Pacman Is Back
Adam "Pacman" Jones has been cleared to play for the Dallas Cowboys this season by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
The overrated cornerback/kick returner was suspended all last season, when he was with the Tennessee Titans, because of an accumulation of arrests and legal problems.
In April Jones was traded to the Cowboys, where he was allowed to precipitate in training camp and preseason.
Goodell's reinstatement decision came Thursday, hours before Dallas' final preseason game.
"It feels good man, you know, to get a second chance and I just have to take advantage of it," Jones told The Dallas Morning News. "First and foremost, I don't want to let myself down, definitely my little girl down. I'm thankful for [Cowboys owner] Jerry [Jones], the fans in Dallas and my teammates for believing in me. I need to keep doing what I've been doing to get reinstated, staying with myself and my teammates and staying away from those knuckleheads and just stay focused."
Only time will tell if Dallas' gamble will pay dividends. I bet on bust. Although athletically gifted, Jones seems unwilling to learn technique and game plans, which are important when playing with the best of the best. I'm sure Dallas fans hope he proves me wrong.

Tom Brady Week One
Tom Brady, who has been out this whole preseason, says he will be ready to play in New England's season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. No shock here. Brady has been out with a right foot injury since the start of the preseason, but when isn't Tom Brady on the injury list. For the past two years Brady has been "probable" before the start of every game. Fantasy football owners expect him to always be a game time decision. I never thought twice that he would not be ready for week one.

Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff For DS
Somebody call Bo Jackson, because the greatest football franchise is returning to the Nintendo DS. Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff is back and we are happy to say that several sources claim the game play will be very similar to the NES version, Tecmo Super Bowl.
The arcade-style sports game was a lot easier to get into than the Maddens of today. Madden takes months of dedication, while you can still have hours of endless play with Tecmo, the game also allows for fast fun as well.
Since Electronic Arts has the video game rights to use NFL Teams, logos, player likenesses and stadiums in gaming products through Super Bowl XLVII in 2013, Tecmo will be fighting a uphill battle.
But don't count Tecmo out. They have put together a solid online game that is completely customizable, so fans all over the world can create all their NFL favorites or even bring their high school football team to life.
Features:
• Customize your team: Choose your team colors, emblems, player names, team cities and abilities.
• Wi-Fi and Wireless Multiplayer: Play against your friends across the country or across the room.
• Stylus Control: Feel the action as you use the stylus to control your player.
• Variety of teams: Choose from 32 different teams, including the Los Angeles Super Cocks.
• Cut-scenes: All-new cut-scenes showing off the dramatic presentation of various plays.
• Super Abilities: Tactical use of the abilities will devastate the opposition.
• Customizable Playbook: Prepare for gridiron greatness by customizing your playbook.
• Music and sound effects: Turn up the heat on your opponent as you play the game to rock ‘n’ roll remixes of the most memorable tunes in football gaming history!
Several release dates are being thrown around. Nobody truly knows if the game will release in September or November. But either way this will be a great warm up for when Tecmo is released on the Wii in 2009. I'm sure Tecmo league commissioners are already preparing for the launch.

Anquan Boldin Wants To Be Traded
Anquan Boldin of the Arizona Cardinals is fed up with his organization. Boldin asked to be trade because he believes his situation between him and his organization will not be resolved. Anquan has gone to also say he has no relationship at all with his head coach Ken Whisenhunt. This would be a huge blow to the Cardinals if they release this superstar but this issue seems severe enough where they may have no other choice but to trade him.

Madden 09
