I'm quite curious to see what FN thinks about this.

Pacman Jones will go through this season without any major incidents. Why?

For one, he's dangling on a string. He knows it, the Commish knows it. One slip, one problem, and Pacman can say goodbye to the NFL forever. He's lucky to even have this chance. I don't think Pacman is stupid enough to lose this opportunity, especially so soon. Perhaps, in two years, Pacman will get involved in something and get banned indefinably, but for this year at least, he'll stay clean.

I mean, how can he not. He's on a team that is a major Super Bowl contender. He's playing with rising stars and legends already made. America's Team, folks! Pacman strikes me as one of those players who likes to be in the spotlight, no matter what. Playing for the Cowboys, he'll get that. 7 Primetime games, I believe.

The last reason I see Pacman staying away from 'incidents' is the mentoring he is receiving. They're veterans like Terence Newman, Anthony Henry and Greg Ellis on this team, people who haven't ever been in trouble with the league, helping him. Deion Sanders. Even a coach on staff to help with troubled players like him.

Pacman will be just fine.

Alright, so you're using your argument to diss the Cowboys? That's pretty sad.

A "Major Incident" is anything that gets him banned from football. I'd be shocked if the media doesn't pick up on some non-story: he and TO disagree, and the media reports it as "Owens and Pacman hate?" or something stupid. You know the media.

Don't even start on Jerry Jones conspiracy theories...you can hate the man, but it doesn't prevent from him from doing what he does best.

I don't have anything to argue, seeing how you didn't post an argument.

Do you honestly think that if there was proof that Pacman ordered the shooting on the man, that he would even be free and out of jail? I doubt we will ever know what happened. No, I don't think he made good decisions, but did he cause a man to be paralyzed? Or was it just a mistake, and he was in the wrong area.

I'm not trying to wipe away what Pacman could have been involved in, but that doesn't matter. You trying to say he is going to order the shooting of someone else? He knows what he's done. If he had something to do with the shooting, then he knows he's lucky not to be in jail. He's not going to go shoot someone so he can get in jail.

If he was just in the wrong place in the wrong time, then why would he mess up again?

You're also saying that Jerry Jones is going to hide Pacman from the law? If he gets arrested, the media will be all over the story. Pacman doing something wrong isn't something you can hide.

The point is not whether Pacman can get away with something. Its whether he will do something or not. Back to my original points: He knows if he messes up, he's done. He knows he's done wrong, and he trying to make up for it. He'll stay out of trouble for a season.
