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.

Favre Faxed His Reinstatement
Brett Favre faxed in his letter seeking reinstatement to the NFL on Tuesday. Within 24 hours commissioner Roger Goodell will reinstate Favre, then the Packers have another 24 hours until they have to add him onto the active 80 man roster.
On Thursday, the Packers have off, so the earliest we can expect Favre in training camp is Friday. Friday is unlikely as well, unless the Packers have a change of heart and allow Favre to compete for HIS starting position.
Brett sure does look good in Chicago colors. I think he'd even look better in purple.

Packers Shopping Favre
According to NFL analyst Adam Schefter, the Green Bay Packers have contacted 20 teams about a possible trade for future Hall or Famer, Brett Favre.
Roger Goodell talked to Packers GM Ted Thompson, who confirmed the team was ready to move on without Favre. Goodell asked Thompson to begin exploring the market for the disgruntled QB, acccording to WEAU 13, an NBC television affiliate in Wisconsin.
The most talk about a team in the NFC, is quarterback happy Jon Gruden's Tampy Bay Buccaneers. Gruden has a history with Favre as his former quarterbacks coach.
If a deal is going to get done, it should happen soon. Camps are starting and there is sure to be a media frenzy around a trade involving Favre.
Favre's best shot at winning another Super Bowl is with the Packers, but other NFL fans can't help imagine the possibilities if Favre were to join their favorite team.
Places I would like to see Favre:
Vikings (but won't happen with the tampering charges)
Eagles (only if McNabb's injury is more serious then thought)
Bears (just isn't going to happen)
Tampa Bay (it works for me...he could help their struggling offense)
Ravens (dumb not to sign him)
Dolphins (would be fun, they haven't had somebody good since Mario)
Titians (could use him and Young at the same time)
Jets (why not, all their quarterbacks suck)
Redskins (could make them an actual contender, otherwise they are 3rd or 4th best in their division)

Clemens And HGH?
How is Roger Clemens, seven-time Cy Young Award winner, going to talk his way out of this situation? He has already stated that he never took human growth hormone and he also denied having knowledge that his wife, Debbie Clemens, was injected with HGH by his former personal trainer, Brian McNamee, prior to a photo shoot for a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
If this is all true, then I can't wait to hear his response to the new information in the case.
Convicted steroid distributor Kirk Radomski told ESPN.com that while he was moving a broken television off a dresser in the bedroom of his Long Island home last Sunday night, he found a shipping receipt for human growth hormone that he claims to have sent to Clemens' Houston home in 2002 or 2003.
Roger's mommy should have told him it is not very nice to lie under oath.
