Texans Show Interest In Pacman?

by Tim on Mar 10, 2008 10:30 AM CDT in News

In a development that either is evidence of the value of a solid cornerback-kick returner or proof that pro football teams are still willing to overlook the turdish behavior of talented players, it appears that multiple teams are interested in Tennessee Titans cornerback Pacman Jones.

According to the Tennesseean, the Cowboys, the Dolphins, the Lions, the Raiders, the Chiefs, the Texans, the Saints, and the Patriots have expressed "at least some level of interest."

Our guess is that someone is puffing a bit in the hopes of driving up the level of compensation that the Titans get for the sixth overall pick in the 2005 draft. Miami V.P. of football operations Bill Parcells has said that he doesn't want "thugs and hoodlums," and Jones (in our opinion) is both. And if the Patriots expressed "some level if interest" in Jones, the specific level of interest likely was "hardly any."

Then, we wouldn't be surprised to learn that Parcells and his son-in-law, Pats V.P. of player personnel Scott Pioli, have agreed to feign interest in Jones in the hopes that Jets G.M. Mike Tannenbaum would feel compelled to plunge into the bidding for a guy who would then contribute to a potential internal collapse of the franchise.

Aside from the fact that Pacman hasn't even been reinstated by Roger Goodell and may well miss part or all of the 2008 season, I cannot fathom a scenario where the Texans would have any substantive interest in this criminal. Bringing Pacman on would seem to run directly against every standard and value Bob McNair has preached about since bringing the NFL back to Houston. With all due respect to BFD, I'm vehemently opposed to even considering the option. Let Pacman fulfill his destiny and become a Cowboy.

Not Happening

With our reputation for taking high character guys, I just can't see this happening. Ever.

Mistake number one:

believing Pro Football Talk. Credibility is at a premium there. I'd rather get my football news from Us Weekly or Cosmo.

Tell me again why I follow sports?

re: Us Weekly

So, on topic of high character, I hear that Lohan is an unrestricted free agent.....

We can be critical of the draft picks, but in the end we always support the new Texan.

Oh yeah

I'd like to play with her unrestricted free agents.

Er... uh... anyhoo!

Not the right size for Tight End...

Wide Out, maybe?

Re: "Tight End"

I'm going out on a limb and saying it's not all that tight.

perhaps

But I think that, at the least, it calls for a fact-finding mission.

Any volunteers? No? Then I proudly step forward for the sake of the Texan blogging community.

I just want

To see her Tight end in a three point stance.

by bullpen116 on Mar 10, 2008 3:30 PM CDT reply actions

I've got the perfect position for her

Actually, I've got several.

To DE or not to DE... that is the question.

So

She's like Kordell Stewart with big boobs?

by MDC on Mar 10, 2008 8:49 PM CDT up reply actions

Slash

Funny - that's the nickname of her naughty part.

To DE or not to DE... that is the question.

Make it rain!!!

Here's where you're wrong, Tim.

First, the cowpokes specialize in two premium areas of illegalities:

Child molesting
Hard-core drugs, preferably coke, crack, and/or Troy Aikman's jock.

Secondly, the Texans are obviously a sexual team. I respectfully submit into evidence:

Fred Weary
Will Demps
Kevin Bentley
Will Demps (he really does deserve two mentions)

and, for #5 and just for Matt, Anna-Megan.

Pacman's problem is that he likes women. In fact, he loves women, so much so that he insists on showering them with wads of bills. There's nothing wrong with that; he's just showing he cares.

Personally, I'd like for the Texans to sign him so he and I can hang out together.

Why must you try and crush my dreams, Tim? Oh tell me why!

by bigfatdrunk on Mar 10, 2008 9:11 PM CDT reply actions

Loves them so much

He's willing to grab them by their hair and slam their head on a stage... you know, just to show how much he cares.

On the other hand, he is your prototypical playmaker. Can do it both in the return game and on defense.

Off field - idiot. On field - phenom.

I'm conflicted.

To DE or not to DE... that is the question.

sigh

Yeah, that's pretty effed up right there, SOLIS.

I guess part of my optimism is that people screw up all the time, and as somebody who has gotten a couple of second chances, I don't mind giving somebody else a chance to screw up with me.

That said, I didn't exactly beat up a Russian stripper.
