FACE OFF
Lance Miller vs. Zach Parker
Judging by Jason Bushey
Issue date: 4/8/08 Section: Sports
According to ESPN.com, trade talks between the Titans and Cowboys for maligned cornerback Pacman Jones have stalled. Is Jones, who has still yet to be reinstated by the NFL, worth the risk for the Cowboys or, for that matter, any team?
LM: I believe Pacman Jones is worth the risk for a team like the Cowboys, but not many other teams.
The Cowboys are on the cusp of Superbowl contention this season. They need a solid kick return man and another
cornerback; Pacman Jones brings both of those.
Ignore the kind of citizen he is and look at the kind of football player he is. I believe that if a team can handle a headache like Terrell Owens and all the drama he brings, they can handle Pacman Jones as well.
T.O. changed for the better once he was found himself on a contending team, maybe Pacman can as well.
ZP: As crazy as this may sound, I think trading for Pacman Jones would be a very wise choice by the Cowboys.
The Cowboys have come painfully close to being a title contender the past few years, but they seem to be missing
that one piece to put them over the top.
The Cowboys' secondary is their weakest link by far. Jerry Jones has a history of handling players with troubled
personalities (see: Terrell Owens), so I think he will handle Pacman just fine.
If the gamble fails the Cowboys will be no worse off because they will not have to give up much to get him.
THE SCORE
Pacman and T.O. on the same team? Yikes.

It's spring time - we know this because you can't turn on ESPN without seeing one of their traditional commercials for the Master's Tournaments.
So who ya' got at Augusta, Tiger Woods
or the field?
LM: I'll take Tiger simply because I don't know much about golf and I know that lately Tiger has been tearing it up in tournaments.
This question is like a who ya' got in a one-on-one game, LeBron James or any other NBA player?
It's ridiculous for golf to be advertised on ESPN as much as it has been. I'm not old enough yet to be smoking cigars and sippin' scotch while sitting back on my couch watching a silent sport with the occasional polite clap.
