The Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys agreed in principle on a deal that sends troubled Adam "Pacman" Jones from Music city to Big D. The Titans part with Jones (who is still serving a suspension imposed by Roger Goodell) and will receive the Cowboys 4th round pick, pick #126 in this weekends draft. In addition the Titans will receive one of Dallas' picks in 2009 unless Jones fails to be reinstated by the league. I believe this is potentially a win-win for both teams. I think the Titans have done the right thing. Living here in Nashville, the locals "don't take too kindly" to the kinds of problems that Jones has constantly had. People here want players their community can be proud of, not players they are afraid of. Dallas is taking the real risk here. I believe it's only a matter of time before Jones is in the middle of bullets or strippers or punches or chickens or fist fights or some other bad situation. To quote Tweety Bird, "Once a bad puddy tat, always a bad puddy tat." At the same time, to quote Jack Nicholson in the 1989 version of Batman, "You can't make an omlette without breaking a few eggs." If Jones could stay out of trouble, and if he is reinstated, and if he plays the way he did a year ago in Nashville, Dallas will benefit greatly. For me, there are too many "if's." What say you?

How can you trust anybody named after a video game?
I think that he is going to tell Roger G what he think he want to hear and he will be reinstated - and then he going to get into trouble. I don't think he has learn his lesson - I don't understand why Dallas take in all these trouble player - I am still wait for T.O act like he alway does Me Me Me -- and by the way Pac-Man is a good video game
