And So It Begins: Media Want Cowboys to Part Ways With 'Adam' Pacman Jones

In late August, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell informed "Adam" Pacman Jones that he would be reinstated, and here we are, six weeks and one bodyguard beatdown later wondering what took so long. Looks like Pearlman already has enough material for another book.

Meanwhile, owner Jerry Jones is FURIOUS because, well, I have no idea -- this news is slightly less surprising than learning that, five weeks into the season, BOTH the Lions and Rams are winless. (By the way, that fourth-rounder pick the Titans got for unloading Pacman on the Cowboys is starting to look like a steal.)

And now that Mr. Pacman has relapsed, columnists everywhere can update those "SEE, I TOLD YOU THIS WAS A BAD IDEA!" pieces they wrote shortly after the Cowboys acquired Jones in April. First up, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Randy Galloway.

The way it should be handled:

Jerry Jones steps up this morning, announces at Valley Ranch that he has ordered Pac-Rat to pack up, be gone immediately, never to return.

And if Jerry goes gutless and lets it ride?

Then Jerry is living a lie, because as the full escapades of Call-Me-Adam Jones began to surface Wednesday night ... it became obvious Pacman repeatedly has made a fool of the only man in the NFL who wanted to help him. That's you, Jerry.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure Jerry brought Pacman to Dallas to help the Cowboys win. And if he also happened to somehow avoid getting in trouble, well, that would be a plus. Whatever, Hairplugs is bummed about the whole thing, now it's just a matter of how much.

Of course, it might not matter what Jerry has planned; as Bacon pointed out this morning, Commissar Goodell could decide he's seen enough and send Pacman on his way.

It's all very sad, really. Not only are the Cowboys losing a solid defensive back, but Chris Henry could also be losing a mentor. Oh, the humanity.
