 Adam Pacman Jones is now allowed to play for the 2008 NFL regular season. Dallas found out the news today right before it’s final preseason game versus the Vikings. Here is the report from the AP,

“IRVING, Texas (AP) — Adam “Pacman” Jones has been cleared to play for the Dallas Cowboys this season.

The cornerback-kick returner was suspended all last season, when he was with the Tennessee Titans, because of an accumulation of arrests and legal problems. He was traded to the Cowboys in April, then allowed by commissioner Roger Goodell to join the team in training camp and in preseason games.

Goodell, however, was still waiting to decide whether to let Jones play in the regular season. That news came Thursday, hours before Dallas’ final preseason game.”

Too bad a name change won’t help much with Pacman’s past. The season will only tell if a little change of scenery to Jerry Jones’ school of Bad Asses can help Pacman really be the shut-down corner and special teams threat that Tennesse hoped he would be.

 There are many legends in the world of baseball and there are also many superstitions. But the most hysterical one I came across today was the “golden thong.” That’s right the legend of the tiger striped gold thong! It’s a little sliver of material that has joined the jockstraps of many of the Yankees. And who does it belong to? Well the Big G himself Jason Giambi.

Jason said to Franz Lidz of Portfolio.com that he wears the thong to get out of hitting slumps. He also said that he passes the thong around to his teammates for a little luck. And who’s been lucky enough to feel the tight burn of glitter on their groins? Well that’d be Bernie Williams, Derek Jeter, Robin Ventura, Johnny Damon, and Robinson Cano. And those are the only names that Jason spilled!

Now clearly Jason was wearing the tiger striped golden-lame’ loin cloth because he was 2 for 4 with a HR today versus the cross-town rivals the New York Mets, thus bringing his batting average to a whooping .193! Maybe the Yankees should consider that they buy a team shipment of Gold thongs so they all can recover from respected slumps! It’s not coaching, conditioning, or psychiatry … all you need to turn your season around is one of these bad boys, you knew!

ps- yes the photo above is photoshopped! the chick can work many wonders, but getting a pic of Giambi in a thong is no easy task!!
