Pacman's Back....well, sort of

John Clayton of ESPN.com reports today that Pacman Jones is back in the NFL, kinda. Pacman is allowed to practice with his teamates, play preseason games, and perform in organized team activities. But, let's stop short of the word reinstatement.

A final determination will be made by Sept. 1. Jones will have to be on perfect behavior in order to be eligible for the 2008 season.

What's the deal with the commish? Why are we continuing to set limits on Pacman? Last I checked, and I've said this numerous times on the air, Pacman hasn't done anything to show me that he deseves another suspension. He's stayed free of the law. The only questionable things he has done is go to a strip club, which almost every guy is guilty of, and take almost 3/4 of a year to pay a gambling debt, which is common among gamblers in america. Not suspensionable to me.

September 1st, by the way, is three days before the Thursday night regular season opener, and six days before the matchup in Cleveland against the "let's exchange our draft picks with Dallas" Browns. Hopefully, a decision is made long before then.

And, if you are a Giants, Eagles, or Redskins fan, you are hoping Jones is reinstated so your offensive players can do this:
