It is Adam or Pacman?
Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones' attempt at a massive personality change isn't going smashingly just yet.
Why? He can't seem to shake the name Pacman.
Just arrived back from a very nice "moment" when Jones and Mavs forward Brandon Bass came to Sam's Furniture in Fort Worth where they were helping a family in need obtain some free furniture for their home.
Bass and Jones were talking to reporters and describing how they became involved with this situation.
"Myself and Linda Luna (a pr rep) got with Pacman. I mean, Adam Jones," Bass said.
"You can call me Pac," Jones said.
So it appears there are now two people Jones is cool with calling him Pacman: His mother, and Brandon Bass.

Yes, He's Ready
One of the real challenges of covering a professional football team can be coming up with questions to ask in the offseason, especially of people who have answered every question from What is your favorite color? to How much money does it cost to make it rain?
Since he's come to the Cowboys, Adam Jones has answered just about every question we the media can think of, but just in case we had to throw one more out on Wednesday afternoon at an event held at Sam's Furniture in Fort Worth.
Media: Are you ready for training camp?
Adam Jones: Come on, we've got eight more days (before camp starts). What kind of question is that?
Media: A hard-hitting question. Are you ready?
Adam Jones: Am I ready? Am I ready? Yes, I'm ready. We're at Sam's Furniture - this is Adam Jones to you guys. I've been working hard for at least about ...
Media: A year and a half?
Adam Jones: Half a year, waiting to get back to this day. I've been outta football for a year and I'm counting down. If you don't think I'm ready, just tune in to Hard Knocks will show you.
I felt compelled to ask him if HBO was giving him anything extra on the side for such promotional work which the cable giant is not. He did, however, say they should.
