We keep asking the question: “Why do athletes make mistakes when they have so much going for them?” What you fail to remember is athletes or entertainers, for that matter, are people. They didn’t land here from Mars with superhuman talent.

Could CB Adam Jones be returning to Dallas? The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is considering the move and wondered aloud how much heat he would take from the press if he made such a move.

CB Adam Jones believes he will play in the NFL again, despite blowing what could have been his last chance when he was released by the Cowboys. Jones told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he is confident he will find another opportunity.

The Dallas Cowboys will make it official and release CB Adam Jones on Monday, the Dallas Morning News reported. The Cowboys announced the move last month, but Monday marks the first day that teams are allowed to make waiver requests for the 2009 season.

There comes a time when the NFLPA needs to draw the line when it comes to appealing suspensions. Take the Plaxico Burress appeal. What is there to appeal? The dude shot himself. … Allegedly, he was illegally carrying a firearm. … This was all after the Giants gave him a hefty (and well-deserved) extension.

One day after a doctor told Adam Jones his neck injury could end his career, another doctor delivered far cheerier news and cleared the Dallas Cowboys cornerback to resume playing in a few weeks, a league source said Wednesday.

The Cowboys will be without CB Adam Jones this week against the New York Giants due to a neck injury, NFL Network’s Adam Schefter confirmed Wednesday.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and head coach Wade Phillips might be excited to get back suspended cornerback Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones. But clearly, other members of the organization aren’t as thrilled.

Big decisions are made at the NFL’s offices, 280 Park Avenue, all the time. But the ones made in the coming days will come with greater frequency than any time in recent memory, and they will significantly impact the divisional and playoff races in the NFC.

Though Jones is suspended indefinitely, he will be notified sometime this week about his status with the NFL.

NFL GameDay Morning, the first information packed show on the air Sunday mornings, checked in at 10 a.m. ET on the only network dedicated entirely to football. Warren Sapp, Marshall Faulk, Adam Schefter, Alex Flanagan and host Spero Dedes bring fans the latest news, injury reports, pregame analysis and game previews on NFL Network. NFL GameDay Final analyst Deion Sanders also joined the team for the final segment to give his thoughts about the Cowboys.

Even without Adam Jones, the Cowboys still have talented cornerbacks. The one Cowboys coach Wade Phillips spoke highly of over the weekend was first-round pick Mike Jenkins, who will start Sunday versus the Rams.

Even though Adam Jones is under suspension without pay, it will be costing the Cowboys a steep price.

This is interesting … Had Adam Jones not been suspended minutes earlier then the Cowboys would not have had the 6th round pick that they included in the Roy Williams deal. That pick had been part of the Jones trade but was contingent and cancelled as a result of Adam Jones 2nd suspension.

It’s shaping up as yet another wild news day in the NFL. Of course, it could turn out to be quiet, too. But check out what’s on tap for this afternoon.
