ESPN's Matt Mosley, the founder of this here blog, took a break from flapping his gums on the local radio airwaves to write about the NFL's Patron Saint of Second (or Seventh) Chances. It's a timely topic with Jerry in hot pursuit of Pacman Jones, and Mosley puts it into Valley Ranch historical perspective.

Jones might have gambled on [Charles] Haley and T.O., but those two men are choirboys compared to Pacman, whose interception-to-arrest ratio has taken a hit over the past couple years. Haley and T.O. might have been disruptive in the locker room at times, but they were not talking to police on a regular basis. Since he was the Titans' first-round draft pick from West Virginia in 2005, Pacman has one of the most notorious time lines in league history, and he hasn't turned 25. Jones is happy to be Pacman's last chance because it won't cost him much. Quite honestly, the man can't help himself. He has this habit of always seeing the best in people -- especially if they have elite return skills.​

"I think he's predisposed to seeing the best in anybody," said [Larry] Lacewell. "You don't hear him talk bad about anyone because he's not wired that way."​

On a related note, Jerry, how about putting Haley in the Ring of Honor this season? You do like those three Super Bowl trophies he helped deliver, right?

I don't think he is of the caliber necessary to get in the ROH. Especially not with a few old-timers needing the call first.

I don't think he was a Cowboy long enough. He was great for us though.

Don't get the deal done and we can still see for ourselves.

Well, that is list is only getting longer. And there are guys from the 70's who deserve to be put in before Haley.
