Any time you ask a cornerback about an opponent's wide receiver, that's the definition of a "loaded question". Smart players know how to sidestep that and move along. Adam "Pacman" Jones probably doesn't just quite yet qualify for that category.So when someone asks him how he thinks Brandon Marshall compares to Terrell Owens, expecting compliments Marshall's way is probably a bit of a reach.
"He's nowhere near T.O.," Jones said. "He's a good athlete, but he ain't on T.O.'s level. T.O. is 10 times faster and 10 times bigger. I wouldn't say he's nowhere near T.O."And in case you didn't realize it, the three names we're dealing with here are the Thelma, Marvin and Provo of still-mostly-almost eligible and/or reinstated/reformed troublemakers in the NFL.
Fortunately, Jay Cutler was there to remind Pacman that "We go against Champ Bailey everyday" (read: "Mr. Jones, sir, you make life easy for Owens.")
But anyone who actually thought Jones would simply throw Marshall a bone and move on is probably not what you would call realistic.
And gleefully for everyone else involved (us!) though, there's simply no way this will die that quickly. Jones, Marshall and Owens have just way too much potential to explode for this to die quietly in the night. One would have to think that if Jones' doesn't get reinstated by the NFL, Marshall might have a thing or two to say.

Does Cutler think that Marshall is on T.O.'s level because he goes against Bailey? I think most people not affiliated with the Broncos would agree with Jones' assessment of T.O. vs. Marshall.
