Cowboys plan no action for Pacman; Leonard Davis fitting right in with Dallas

I haven't seen any significant news on Adam Jones so far, except for this.

An internal investigation by the Dallas Cowboys into Adam "Pacman" Jones' latest incident concludes that he was not in violation of his contract, or the understanding about conduct he had with owner Jerry Jones, a high-ranking team official said.

The team plans no disciplinary action, the source said.

Hat tip to Mullin for the post.

You might want to check out this article on Leonard Davis. The Cardinals just never figured out how to use him correctly. But Kurt Warner knew it.

"I think of the greatest moves with Leonard was moving him to guard," Warner said. "I remember talking to Leonard a number of times when he was here. I just knew that was his natural position. That was a position he felt more comfortable in, felt like he could really be dominant in smaller spaces because of his size and his stature and his athletic ability. I mean, the guy can get his hands on you and you can't do anything."

So T.O. was crying on the sidelines last week and the press went cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs over it. We now know why it happened, he had a death in the family, but Owens explains it even further.

The night before the game, [Owens' pastor] Gardner told Owens he would cry on the sideline and told him to profess his love for God in the news conference following the game.

A quote from Owens:

"Everything that happened on Sunday, I had talked [about with] my pastor Anthony Gardner out of Philadelphia the night before the game," Owens said. "When I got emotional, it was an anointed emotion, is what he explained to me.

"When it happened, I knew it was going to happen. He told me the night before it was going to happen, so when I went to the sideline, the emotions hit me."

You can read another take, here

I'm just waiting to hear from Wade this afternoon and see what he has to say about Adam Jones.

The NFL is conducting its own investigation

And Roger Goodell said that they have nothing yet…

"kidding around" and "playfulness"
The bodyguard, an off-duty policeman who is part of a security detail assigned to Jones, told team security that some “kidding around” and “playfulness” between himself and the player resulted in a brief scuffle in a restroom. A vanity mirror suffered minor damage.

“kidding around” and “playfulness” ? lol. maybe the guy is just covering for AJ, but it does seem like this has been overblown given his high profile scrutiny. still worrying that it even comes up, but I have a hard time seeing the commish coming down on him when the other party in the supposed altercation characterizes it this way.

I said it in another post, don't underestimate the power of Jerry Jones

Both in the Dallas area, and with the league. The commish knows Jerry is one of his most valuable assets.

Jerry can make things happen that he wants to happen.

No, really, I am laughing…

… and surprise, surprise… a Dallas cop on Jerry’s payroll says what needs to be said?

(THANK GOD!)

It's true

Look, no real harm was done here, and I’m sure Jerry’s checkbook can erase any hard feelings between Pac and the bodyguard (they did leave together according to what I read) and the hotel.

Doesn’t mean Goodell won’t do anything, and doesn’t mean Pac isn’t an idiot, but I think it increases the chances of this blowing over. Goodell would be reaching to end a player’s career over this, no matter how many times he’s been warned.

It would cause too much of an uproar if Goodell gives him the boot over this. Although something tells me he wouldn’t mind sticking a fork in Pacman’s NFL career the 1st legit opportunity that arises.

I actually think Goodell is hoping Pac will succeed

Nothing would be a better success story for his “tough love” approach to disciplining players than for Pacman to become a good citizen. Goodell knows what will happen to this guy if he can’t play in the NFL anymore – unfortunately, we see it a lot with guys who are cut loose and then get in trouble with the law. I don’t think Goodell would blame himself if Pacman did something requiring him to be banned, but I don’t think he wants that blood on his hands for a minor incident, either.

Don’t get me wrong guys, I’m disappointed Pacman put himself in this situation, but I just don’t think it’s a big deal.

Gotta love tank

Meanwhile in Dallas, Jones’ teammate Tank Johnson, who also has been suspended under the personal conduct policy in the past, came to Jones’ defense.

Standing in front of dozens of reporters and boom mikes, Johnson said the incident had been “blown out of proportion.”

Johnson scolded one reporter and said he didn’t think Goodell, a man he’s quite familiar with, would take action.

“I think it’s something we can handle in-house,” Johnson said. “Sometimes you don’t have to go to the principal’s office. You can just handle it in the classroom.”

It Was Calvin "and Hobbs" Watkins...

Who he scold. He told him he was “disappointed in him”. I have to side on Tank on this. Watkins of DMN.com has been exaggerating alot lately in hoping to stir something in Dallas. How do journalists get away with propaganda like this? Ed Werder, you too.

I hope this is overblown

because I have been a supporter of Pac Man since he came here but I was pissed about this news. The dude is one slip up away from costing himself millions of dollars – stay at home and get a freaking X-box, Jackass!!!

A true diehard Cowboys fan since 1975.

"If you don’t take him off the field as a coach, he will just about die out there," Jerry Jones said. "That impacted my decision. It’s a Michael Irvin-type work ethic. That’s what we are talking about with Felix Jones."
