Bye Bye Pacman

Nashville has had to endure the antics of Pacman Jones in the media for the past few years. Nightclub after nightclub, girl after girl, it was not surprising to see Pacman on the 10 p.m. nightly news.

Both the Dallas Cowboys and the Tennessee Titans announced yesterday that Pacman will now be a Cowboy. In return, Tennessee now gets a 4th round draft pick in this Sunday's NFL draft.

I'm very interested to see the team dynamic in Dallas. They have Terrell Owens, former trouble maker until he started getting more playing time and receiving more passes, and now Pacman Jones. Both players are great additions to the football team when they are playing well and not getting in trouble, but the Cowboys franchise could get in a lot of trouble if Pacman starts going to nightclubs and TO gets upset with Quarterback Tony Romo.

I'm sure many of the Titans coaches and players are relieved of the headache caused by Pacman in the past few years, but will the Titans regret sending Pacman on his way? In the end, this should allow the Titans to move on to being a well respected franchise and a team that players want to be a part of. Girls will no longer have to be afraid of getting spit on in Murfreesboro, they will have to go to Dallas for that.

Unfortunately, the Titans and Cowboys do not play each other this year. Could the Dallas Cowboys now be a Superbowl contending team with superstars such as Tony Romo, Terrell Owens and Pacman Jones? I think that there will be too much emotion (i.e. Jessica Simpson, Las Vegas nightclubs, lawyers, etc.) on the shoulders of all 3 players for them to contend for the title.
