Pacman Doubts Eagles

It doesn't usually take much to get this week started, this Eagles-Cowboys week. Thankfully, Adam "Pacman" Jones, a newcomer to the festivities, has gotten into the spirit.

The Dallas Morning News, on its website, asked Jones -- a defensive back -- about the trio of 100-yard receivers the Eagles unfurled in their opening-game demolition of the St. Louis Rams.

And, well, quoth the Pacman: "They played the Rams, dude."

The fact that we are all kind of thinking the same thing does not matter. And just because it might be true does not mean that Jones is allowed to say it. Truth is not a defense during Eagles-Cowboys week. Does he not realize that into which he has just stepped?

Welcome, Pacman.

When the Birds "Make it rain" on Monday night, they will not be showering strippers with thousands of dollars while shooting up strip clubs like Pacman is used to, they will be beating that chump along with Roy "Horse Collar" Williams up and down that dump of a stadium. GO BIRDS!!!!!

Maybe if he focused that energy on not making pass interference penalty's and hanging out with murderer's he would be considered more than an average cornerback with good return skills. But it's easier to be typical I guess...

Something so insightful coming from a guy who uses a nickname a 10 year-old would come up with. Yeah, he's all grown up now that he's been out of the league for a year. Some thing never change, neither has he.

He's right. They played the Rams. Pacman jones has more cajones than the entire Eagles team. Eagles don't scare anyone. Dallas' elite secondary and proliferous offense will stomp them.

An elite secondary, since when? Roy Williams is one of the biggest liabilities at safey in the league. I think the Eagles are the one with the elite secondary pal. Talk to me when the Cowboys win their 1st playoff game of the decade.

Pacman only has more cajones because he's been in prison more times than all the players in Eagles history combined. Nice smack talk, "Battlefield Earth" Jones.

As usual Pacman underestimates the consequences of his actions. That includes his mouth.Don't look for a response from the Eagles. They'll do it on the field.

Proliferous offense? Really? That's what your going with?

McNabb is gonna "make it rain" on Pac-Man all night long. Jones may have relive his misguided youth and pull a gun on whomever he is covering. It better been a long range rifle as the receiver will be pretty far away from Jones.

After years in prison I'd be willing to bet Pacman had his share of close up views of cajones. Morvak is right, Pacman has had more cajones than the entire Eagle team. He fits in with the 'Boys.

Listen, Pacman did time...he knows a good tight end when he sees one.
About Rich Hofmann
Rich Hofmann arrived at the Daily News in 1980 for a job whose status was officially designated as "full-time, temporary." A senior at Penn at the time, he was hired to fill in on the copy desk during a staff illness. The notion of him covering the Eagles or being a columnist did not exist in anyone's imagination. It was supposed to be six weeks and out, but he never left. It is only one of the reasons why so many people have concerns about him as a potential house guest. Rich has blogged the postseasons of the Flyers and Eagles.
