Look Out, 8-Bit Dallas Ghosts
Rumor has it that the Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans have agreed in principle on a trade that would send Adam "Pacman" Jones to Dallas. Apparently, Jerry Jones is trying to assemble the most unlikeable group of football players ever assembled. I guess that it's a pretty smart move, considering that Dallas' largest weakness by far last year was their porous secondary. Still, one has to wonder how effective and team-oriented the guy could be, especially after having missed a year.
Seattle Wants Shockey?
Shockey has expressed his discontent with the team lately, and there have been rumors about sending him to the Saints over the last few days. Today, it sounds like the Seahawks have interest in the 27-year-old tight end, with rumors of him being dealt by the end of day 1 of the draft. Kevin Boss, the Giants' starting TE while Shockey was injured, expressed that he would want Shockey to stay. As a Giants fan, I would want Shockey to stay on the team--after all, who else would sit in the luxury box drinking beer with yet another injury while the Giants play in the Super Bowl? To be honest, I've always been a big Shockey fan, but he gets hurt a lot, and I am a big Kevin Boss fan. I guess it entirely matters on what the Giants can get for Shockey.
Why do we keep calling it "Spygate"
The NFL and former Patriots employee Matt Walsh have agreed to meet on May 13th to discuss what he experienced with the team during his employment from 1997-2003. The Patriots are staying silent about the whole matter. To sum it up: the process is moving excruciatingly slowly, he probably doesn't have anything of importance, the media is milking it dry, and everybody continues not to care.
Matt Millen Enjoys a Nice Pancake Breakfast
He poured a little bit of syrup on it, and drank a glass of ice water. He is not entirely sure if the draft is this weekend or next.

I don't know why Seattle would want Shockey. He causes more trouble than he's worth. The only thing sending him to Seattle would accomplish is it would force announcers to say "Matt Hasselbeck HAS to get Shockey the ball!" in every single Seahawks game.
But maybe I'm too hard on Shockey. I believe he led the NFL in ball-spiking penalties that resulted in losses.
I don't understand why Dallas traded for Pacman Jones, for the simple reason that he might not be reinstated. Their secondary isn't going to get any better when Pacman isn't playing. Jerry Jones also said that the Pacman move would not affect the Cowboys draft plans, which I have a hard time believing. Cornerback is a need position, and this years draft is fairly deep. An athlete of value should be available at #22. But why draft a cornerback if you've already got 3 starters on your squad when you could go for a linebacker or an offensive lineman (or a running back, for that matter) that are arguably more important?
Jeremy Shockey is one of the most overrated tight ends in the league. He's a slow receiving tight end that is only an average blocker- leaving him with little value. He disappears from games with disturbing frequency. He has a meme attitude that infects the rest of the team. He doesn't open up the field like an Antonio Gates, and he doesn't have the size to go over linebackers to make plays like Jason Witten. There's a reason the Giants won the Super Bowl with Kevin Boss- don't be fooled by Boss saying he "wants Shockey to return." What sane player would say something to the effect of "I don't want to start" with any degree of honesty? Of course he wants Shockey to leave. I can't see it hurting the Giants much, as Shockey has a big contract that is disproportionate to his [lack of] production.
Everyone stopped caring about Spygate as soon as Bill Belichick ran off the field at the Super Bowl with 2 seconds left on the clock. Apparently, cheating only prospers 18 out of 19 times.
Of course Matt Millen knows that the draft is on Saturday. Mike Williams, Charles Rogers, and Joey Harrington all texted him to remind him.
I need more info on the pancakes. Who served them, for instance? Maybe Rogers is Millen's butler now, I mean what else does he have to do with his time? Did he eat them at the Ford household? If so, don't be surprised if Millen lapses into a convenient pre-draft coma.
