The Same Old Adam “Pacman” Jones

Pacman Jones may have changed his name back to Adam Jones, but he needs to do a bit more in order to change his overall personality and habits.

A mere name change isn’t going to be enough. And that was proven yesterday when the Dallas Cowboyscornerback was suspended from the NFL yet again.

Jones was suspended for violating the league personal conduct policy … really? Really? Adam Jones? The guy who cut his hair to emphasize just how much he had really changed.

It seems that old habits die hard. According to Yahoo! Sports, only six weeks after being reinstated from a 17-month suspension and missing the entire 2007 season for the Tennessee Titans because of repeated legal troubles, Jones was involved in an alcohol-related scuffle Oct. 7 with one of his bodyguards at a private party in Dallas.

How many chances does a guy get? If it weren’t for Jerry Jones’ penchant for taking a chance on troubled players, Pacman wouldn’t even had been given an opportunity to come back to the NFL. It’s really sad that he doesn’t realize the opportunity he has in front of him. Playing in the NFL is a privilege and it’s about to drop right from his hands.

Jeff Fisher is somewhere, right at this moment, sleeping soundly.
