Re: Pacman Jones to the Cowboys!

Will you guys ****ing stop? Please! Yes, Pacman is a turd. Yes, there is risk. The bottom line is he were being traded to your team, you'd hate it. However, the minute he gets a pic and takes it to the house, the minute he takes a kick/punt to the house you'll all say, "that Pacman ain't so bad". I just think it ridiculous to continue to rehash the same **** that's been argued for over a year. Dude is going to be a Cowboy. Yes we know you all hate the Cowboys. It it works, one of the best owners in Pro Sports is a genius. If it doesn't, we don't lose much. It still will have been worth the risk. I fall into the category of as long as you are available to play on Sunday and help get us to the Super Bowl, I couldn't care less about his past. Yes, I hope he finally gets it. The interesting thing will be to see what we do in the draft as Jerry Jones has mentioned that Pacman won't change the way they draft. I still anticipate us taking a good corner with one of our 1st rounders. I'll end this one with:


DUDE?

Re: Pacman Jones to the Cowboys!

roadman, that story is dated Dec. 6

obviously, a lot has transpired in the investigation since then, and most of the facts have now come out...Nice try though

So, AP was wrong that PacMan wasn't charged with anything from that evening last February?


Here's an article from April 24 from the Star-Telegram. I don't see much difference from the Star's article vs the one dated December 6th. Except for the fact that Pacman named the shooter.

http://www.star-telegram.com/332/story/600656.html

Las Vegas police said Jones incited the fight when he "made it rain" by showering strippers with cash and then became angry when the women picked up the money. Jones pleaded no contest Dec. 6 in Las Vegas to conspiracy to commit disorderly conduct in a plea deal reducing two felony charges. In return, he agreed to tell police what he knew about the shooter.

Information supplied by Jones led to the arrest last Friday of Arvin Kenti Edwards of Renton, Wash. Edwards faces three counts of attempted murder and three counts of battery in connection with the incident.

Court documents reveal that Edwards allegedly used go-betweens to reach Jones, who paid $15,000 in two installments after the shooting.

That Jones paid off extortion money seemed to be news to Goodell and he didn’t know how it would impact his case for reinstatement.

Re: Pacman Jones to the Cowboys!

Pac was suspended AFTER the Las Vegas incident. He hasn't really done anything crazy since then, and the fallout from Las Vegas ended up being a lot milder than anticipated. Goodell has virtually no reason to keep him suspended.

If the gunman was "one of Pac Man's boys" as you put it...the police, prosecutors, detectives, their dogs, their cats, and their moms would all have been continuing the investigation against Jones. While prosecutors determine charges and "prosecute", there are a lot of folks involved in investigations.
Read up on pleading no contest. There's a big difference between dropping charges and pleading no contest. I'm required to know the difference.

It's no coincidence that Jones quickly forged a friendship with Raiders owner Al Davis, who would become something of a mentor. The young Cowboys owner took note of how Davis seemed to almost covet malcontents.
Yep, there ya go. I liked this from a Titans front office guy..

Why do you keep replying when you're obviously wrong? You implied the police dropped charges against Pacman when you said the police dropped everything. Obviously the police would stop investigating Pacman after he acceped the prosecutor's plea agreement. If Pacman does not follow the agreement, the charges against him will be reinstated. I'd accept your apology but this post may have went over your head.
