		<description>Is anyone surprised that Adam &quot;don&#039;t call me pacman anymore because i&#039;m mature now&quot; Jones screwed up?  I, for one, was one who benefitted from it.  I bet a Cowboys fan from work that Dallas couldn&#039;t go the entire season without one of their players getting in trouble.  I won.  I offered the guy a &quot;double-or-nothing&quot; after the news broke, but he declined.  Just five weeks into the season...typical of Dallas.  Oh, by the way, I&#039;m sure you&#039;ve heard this one but here it is again ---Three Cowboys in the backseat of a car - who&#039;s driving?  The cop!!!</description>

		<description>Thank you for seeing it like it is, DW. I appreciate you being level-headed, unlike a few others.

Ian, The Most Delusional Iggles Fan in Philly: &lt;em&gt;&quot;It is not a minor incident, this is major. Assaulting another human being can be considered a felony depending on the severity of the injuries.&quot;

&lt;/em&gt;Are you telling me that you&#039;ve never had a little scuffle with one of your friends, hit the guy in the head, got broken up then worked it out like 10 minutes later? Come on now. He didn&#039;t nearly get arrested because the fight wasn&#039;t a big deal. They broke a mirror, they&#039;re going to pay for it.
 
The 24-hour news coverage has made media outlets like ESPN take stories and run with them a million miles an hour. Stories that sound big get big ratings. And you&#039;re not going to get a network like ESPN to backpedal and say they&#039;re wrong. They&#039;d just rather let the story die out than lose the confidence of their viewers.


I&#039;m watching NFL Live right now and whatever desk jockey they have in there right now just said something along these lines:
&quot;&lt;em&gt;Put aside the fact that Adam Jones has to have around the clock security coverage to make sure that he stays out of trouble...&quot; &lt;/em&gt;followed by some question.

This is a classic move. He&#039;s not putting all that stuff aside, he&#039;s drawing attention to it. This was the opening of his sentence, and among the first few lines of the program. That&#039;s what the audience is going to remember. It&#039;d be like having a banner across the top of Ian&#039;s crappy site saying &quot;Forget that the owner of this site is dillusional about his crappy team and is too ignorant to see through ESPN&#039;s spin.&quot; Ian would have even fewer visitors than he has right now.</description>
