The New Orleans Saints are looking for a much-needed spark to jumpstart their scoring, but it appears they will have to wait at least another week for help from the obvious boost.
In talking to several Cowboys players about the return of Adam "Pacman" Jones, it's almost as if the troubled cornerback is invisible. The coaches have refused to talk about him the last month and even this week and the players say he's completely off their radar screen.
But why do the Cowboys owners insist on bringing a guy back if no one on the team seems to really care if he's around?
I remember a conversation I had with team owner Jerry Jones in the preseason when he told me he was not only giving Pacman a second chance at football, he was getting involved in helping the troubled youngster off the field as well.
Jerry Jones said he was going as far as helping Pacman with his finances, creditors and bills, taking a total hands-on approach to get the kid back on track in his financial life.
As for those security guards who obviously didn't guard Pacman from getting in trouble, that security detail is gone and no longer in the fold.
NFL replay revision?
There was a lot of speculation and some reports this week that claimed the NFL could change their replay procedures to allow referees a second look at instant replay on questionable situations. It all stemmed from the mess that was made at the end of the Steelers-Chargers game last Sunday.
The league's Competition Committee held a conference call meeting this week and discussed how to improve the situation but in the end they decided they would NOT change the rule and allow for a second peek. They will, however, allow the referee to go back over and buzz back upstairs to get a vocal clarification of what transpired if he so needs one. But as far as a second look, isn't going to happen.
