How long before we start hearing reports of Terrell Owens starring in a porno with Pacman Jones while Tank Johnson plays with guns in the background? Maybe never...
Maybe not.
Jerry Jones' big personality is reflected in the team he has assembled. While the previous scenario will (hopefully) never happen, the Cowboys are a team filled with larger than life characters and even bigger egos.
Even before the addition of Pacman, the 'Boys had a volatile mix.
Everyone remembers the purported suicide attempt by T.O., the Tony Romo-Jessica Simpson fiasco last season, and everything else in between.
Now, the Cowboys have to hope that Pacman has learned his lesson—for real.
He may be saying all of the right things right now, but only time will tell whether or not he has actually changed. If not, the Cowboys could be in for a season of distractions.
Even if Pacman doesn't cause any problems, no one can ever predict what T.O. is going to do. Nor can anyone be sure that Tank Johnson has conquered his propensity for legal trouble.
On this team, anything could happen.
Make no mistake, the Cowboys have all the talent to make a run for the Super Bowl next season—all of the pieces are in place.
However, Jerry Jones has effectively doused this team in gasoline, and he better hope that no one creates a spark.

Just "Schadenfreude", and wishful thinking from a disgruntled "patsy" jerk. By the way was not the last Super Bowl great? Maybe if NE had gotten some video of the Giants practicing prior to the game they might have had a chance.

Wishful thinking? Really? So you would make the argument that all of these guys are ideal teammates then? I said they have all the talent in the world, and they do. Grow up. Your the one that sounds disgruntled.

True, you did mention that the Cowboys have great potential. If there is going to be any cohesion problems I believe it will be resultant of Wade Phillips. I sincerely apologize for the jerk analogy. Unfortunately I have an occasional propensity to view and comment in this forum after a few scotches, at times producing vitriol. Sorry.

YOU DON"T HAVE TO HATE ON THE BOYS. wHAT U DON"T UNDERSTAND THE COWBOYS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A BADBOY TEAM AND HAS YET TO BURN US FOR DOING SO AND WE HAVE HAD CHARLES HAILEY,MICHEAL ERVIN,T.O,NOW TANK JOHNSON,AND PACMAN JONES AND LATTER DONT BE SURPRISED IF WHEN MICHEAL VICK GETS OUT OF JAIL HE MAY BECOME A COWBOY. THAT WOULD NOT HURT MY FEELINGS AT ALL BECAUSE WHAT EVERYONE DOES NOT RELIZE IS ALL THESE PLAYERS UR HATING ON ARE OUTSTANDING PLAYERS ON THE FIELD AND AS FAR AS OFF THE FIELD ISSUES JERRY JONES DON'T PLAY THATS WHY THESE GUYS ALWAYS SEEM TO FIT.
REALLY LOOK AT IT LIKE THIS IN BASEBALL THERE IS NO SALERY CAP AND LIKE HE YANKEES THEY CAN STACK THE TEAM WITH THE BEST. IN THE NFL THERE IS A SALERY CAP SO YOU CANT STACK RIGHT!! BUT WE HAVE FOUND A WAY BY TAKING ALL THE BAD BOYS WHO ARE ALL OUTSTANDING FOOTBALL PLAYERS. SO DONT CRY BECAUSE UR COACH ISNT SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE THAT OUT...
PEACE AND LOVE COWBOY NATION

James, you don't seem to realize that I made the point that all of these players are excellent on-field players. That's why this team will contend for the Superbowl next season. And trust me, I'm not jealous about the fact that my coach doesn't put all the "bad boys" on our team.

I didn't want the Cowboys to sign Terrell Owens, Tank Johnson, or Pacman Jones. But they signed all three of those guys. I hate the big egos, and the criminal behavior (Johnson and Jones, not T.O.).
