Pacman's Hushmoney

groves — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 02:05:59 -0000

This isn't looking good for one Adam "Pacman" Jones' chances of being reinstated.

LAS VEGAS (AP)—Court documents allege that a 29-year-old man arrested for a Las Vegas strip club shooting extorted hush money from suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones. Police said Arvin Kenti Edwards, of Renton, Washington, used go-betweens to reach Jones, who paid $15,000 over several installments to various people after the shooting.

I think a lot more will come to the surface in the following days. I was against bringing Pacman here, then I was on board, now i really don't know what to think. This guy is bad news, and more and more keeps coming out. I think best case scenario Pacman plays half a season for the boys then is suspended again when he either screws up again, or is indicted for the Vegas Strip club shootings.

Zach Thomas interview on Michael Irvin Show

groves — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 03:52:34 -0000

I strongly suggest listening to this interview. I've alway liked Zach and this definitely reinforces it. He talks Defense, his desire to let his actions speak for him, why he chose Dallas over New England, and what he hopes to accomplish with the Cowboys. Definitely worth the listen. Anytime you can bring in a Class Act into the clubhouse you are automatically improving your team. Good Signing.

Barber must be part of the deal for Dolphins 1st overall pick

groves — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 16:55:31 -0000

Chris Mortenson reported on NFL Countdown that Jeff Ireland has said that the 1st overall pick is up for grabs. Any deal to Dallas must include MB3. So two questions, First would you give up Barber and a pick to get McFadden, and more importantly, do you think Jerry will?

I personally don't like the idea of not having any experience in our backfield. Most teams in the league rely on two backs, and since JJ is gone now, trading Barber would put a lot of weight on a rookie unless could snag a decent 2nd back in FA. Thoughts?

Any news on Terry Glenn???

groves — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 19:59:36 -0000

Has anything come out of the Ranch as to how Glenn's surgery went. Was it successful, is there an updated timetable for rehab/return. Is he walking/on crutches/cruising around on a Rascal scooter? If I pick him up now will he contribute to my dwindling fantasy team at some point this season. Somebody give me somethin or at least point me in the right direction.

Belichick's Press Conference

groves — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 15:04:05 -0000

What a complete waste of time. Let me sum it up. "we are moving forward, its in the past." Loved when the reporter asked "can you tell us how you misinterpreted the rules" he replied "doesn't matter its in the past" then she burned him with "you lost half a million dollars and a 1st round pick i think it does matter." Too bad nobody asked him how it feels to be labled a cheater and have your accomplishments tarnished.

Punt Returns

groves — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 17:22:42 -0000

It may just be me but I am about ready to see someone else fielding punts for the boys. Jerheme Urban just doesn't do it for me. Crayton doesn't either. So far this preseason they have netted 5 return yards. I guess it could also be on our punt return team for allowing the coverage to get to the returner before they have a chance to make the catch and get upfield. Who else would you like to see returning punts and is Special Teams a problem at this point?
