Adam Jones

by sduncan24 on Apr 25, 2008 6:07 AM CDT

I know it has been mentioned before, but I would like to put out a formal petition here on Blogging the Boys that we refer to our newly acquired cornerback with a troubled past only as Adam Jones and leave the nickname, that he was formerly known, by back in Tennessee.

I think the new start in a new place should come along with forgetting about that stupid nickname that he used when got in so much trouble. A new start for #21 for the Dallas Cowboys, Adam Jones.

What do you think about forever forgetting "Pacman" and only recognizing Adam Jones on BTB?

I like it, Pacman was left in Tennesse, it's Adam now.

That is stupid, he will always be Pacman Jones

You can call him Xena Warrior Princess for all I care, as long as he stays out of trouble and preforms well in Big D

Is there an option for A and C?

In all seriousness, I second this petition. This is a suggestion I’ve personally fronted since this whole scenario began, and It’ll be a big step forward in leaving behind the hate of the past and learning to love our new star cornerback.

Why not call him what he wants to be called?

If his mom named him Pacman, I’m going to call him Pacman. It might be a ridiculous nickname, but I’m not going to tell a grown man what name he should be called by.

wishful thinking that this thug will change, it will never happen.

just don't refer to him as...

AJ – there’s already one AJ in town and he ain’t doing too good right now. (though i hope they can turn it around!)

I prefer Pacman.

I might be crazy, but I don’t think it should change.

Always moving forward....

Didn't his grandmother give him that nickname?

I think this is taking it a bit far. What he goes by has absolutely no effect on what he does while in Dallas. Even if he did want to go by Pacman, it probably wouldn’t happen. How many people still refer to Tank Johnson by that name, even though he publicly said he would like to by Terry?
