Jerry Jones Would Gladly Welcome Pacman Back to Dallas

Not sure if Michael Jenkins' development has anything to do with this, or maybe Jerry Jones just has a soft spot for stripper-lovin', can't-stay-out-of-trouble players, but either way, the Cowboys owner would gladly welcome "Adam" Pacman Jones back into the fold, assuming Commissar Goodell would let that happen.

Earlier this season, Mr. Pacman was suspended indefinitely after getting into a hotel bathroom cat fight with his team-appointed bodyguard. But according to the Dallas Morning News' Tim MacMahon, the suspension could be lifted as soon as next week.

And this makes Jerry very, very happy.
"Yes, if Adam does the kinds of things that the league has asked him to do and that he's doing, if he's done that and satisfied that criteria, then yes, we would," Jerry said.

Jerry said he's been in contact with Pacman, adding that the cornerback is spending weekdays at a rehab facility in Boston and weekends in the North Texas area. Pacman is expected to finish his stint at the rehab facility this week, although Jerry said Pacman might continue traveling around the country to meet with counselors.
Glad to hear Pacman is getting help. Not sure why he needs to travel "the country to meet with counselors" -- presumably, the Cowboys of the '90s employed plenty of Dallas-area detox specialists who got filthy rich thanks to the localized run on debauchery and hedonism. I can't imagine they'd voluntarily hop off that gravy train.

Whatever, Jerry doesn't begrudge Pacman for his mistakes, particularly since he's probably the best defensive back on the team.
