    From my email:

    Breaking Cowboy News

    Sources indicate that suspended Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pac Man" Jones will be fully reinstated by the NFL.

    Jones was serving the suspension prior to becoming a Cowboys. Earlier this year the commissioner had allowed Jones to practice with the team and participate in the 2008 Preseason. Up until now, the commissioner has withheld full reinstatement.

    Tune into the Official Radio Home of the Dallas Cowboys...Sportsradio 1310 the Ticket...for full details.

    He didn't get a free pass. He missed games and paychecks for something he didn't even go to jail for. You can't keep a man off the field forever when he isn't even being punished by the law (i.e. found guilty or doing time for anything).

    Being an athlete isn't what's giving him a "free pass". Being rich is what's giving him the chance to get high priced lawyers that keep him out of jail. And if he isn't in jail or anything like that...then how can you keep him off the field?

    He's prolly a Cowboys hater. Any good news is bad news for them. I was really expecting the Commish to not live up to his word and keep him out a few games into the season. Glad he proved me wrong.

    :eek: It's not that I'm a Cowgirl hater. Well... actually... I hate the cowgirls with a passion, but that's not why. :rolleyes:

    Of course I hate the cowgirls, but even if this happened to my Texans, I wouldn't want some troublemaker like that in my team.

    Ya'll seem to defend the most vile, vulgar, low-class citizens just to see them catch a football and make a touchdown. Who cares if he served the suspension...? He's still a thug just like the rest of them the NFL suspends. You know what...? He fits well in the Ducking Fallas organization and I know this is against my principles, but I hope they sit comfortably during a playoff bye and get nowhere this season, too... I hope some lowly team spoils their season.

    I could say everyone deserves a second or third chance, but I have to admit that I'm happy to have him and Tank on the team...Lots of upside and I truly believe the Cowboys will win it all this year...Just like I believe the Rockets will win it all this year...

    That being said, if he screws up, he's gone, so until that time, its a win-win situation...

    I'm not defending "him or what he did". I'm defending his right to play football. Has he been convicted (no)? Is he doing time (no)? There is no reason to keep him off the field, especially not in professional sports where there are tons of examples or many great players doing, and getting away with a lot of stuff. I'm not saying it's right but there is no legal reason to keep him off the field.

    So I guess you are opposed to us getting Artest and if we win a title with him you won't be celebrating?
