i_am_the_swammi Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Per nooffseason.com: DAL: Pacman to enter rehab immediately October 15, 2008 at 8:20PM Adam Jones (CB) 10/15: SOurces close to Fanball.com are are reporting that beleaguered DB Adamones will enter drug and alcohol rehab effective immediately with the hope he can be reinstated in time to play for the Cowboys in their Thnksgiving matchup with the Seattle Seahawks on November 27th. Link He wants to play Thanksgiving, huh? I guess he feels the biggest turkey should be center stage. The Cowboys really wouldn't consider bringing the nutjob back, would they?

Kansas State 2000 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 The Cowboys really wouldn't consider bringing the nutjob back, would they? I hope not but I’d expect a "He went to rehab to change his life and actions and we feel it would not be fair to abandoned him after he took steps to correct his life."

I know it is Thanksgiving and all, but anybody really think Goodell will let him come back on one of the most watched games of the year? I don't think so.

Hugh 0ne Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Cowboys | A. Jones' time with team might be over Thu, 16 Oct 2008 06:58:48 -0700 Mac Engel, of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reports the general consensus is Dallas Cowboys CB Adam Jones' time with the team might be over, even if he is eventually reinstated by the NFL. Head coach Wade Phillips said, "We don't have him, and that's where we're going. I can't count on him coming back or us bringing him back or those other things. We've got to go forward with our team." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Being on probation he can not leave the country. Yeah, being so concerned about his actions in regard to the letter of the law & his career, there's no chance he'd risk violating probation.

We are talking about a CFL team getting him not dumbass going out of country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Whomp and Sarge, I am disappointed in both of you. Surely, you have to know that taking a risk and signing a criminal, and throwing all regard for "doing the right thing" out the window, is not morally the right way to run a business....don't you? In sports signing or drafting people with a checkered past is not terribly uncommon. I see where you are coming from and it isnt a morally correct way to run a business but in business terms Jerry saw it as a chance to buy low on talent and roll the dice that he would keep his nose clean. I wont miss Pacman. If you go back to the early pacman posts my thoughts were consistent. I didnt want him on the team but also wasnt going to shed a tear if he was on the team because there is nothing i could do about it and we sorely needed help at the position. I am not sad to see the commish come down on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sad to see the commish come down on him. I hear ya, and I didn't mean to sound so condescending. My apologies. But let me ask you: You run a garment business in NYC, and your top salesman quits. You are in desperate shape, heading into the busiest time of the year. You find a guy who can do the job, a highly touted former salesman from another company. You run your background on him, though, and find he's a guy with a checkered criminal past....do you hire him? For the same reasons your immediate answer was "no", this punk should have never been a Cowboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
