Super Bowl XIII: Poor Jackie Smith Sheriff Goodell to put Pacman on hold Categories

February 1, 2008The Arizona Republic reports that a Giants defensive end was arrested on suspicion of DUI. This won't have any impact on the Super Bowl, since it's not Michael Strahan or Osi Umenyiora or Justin Tuck. It's Adrian Awasom, who has been on the injured reserve since September. He happens to be one of my favorite former North Texas football players, so I sure hope this is all a big misunderstanding. Kind of like Tank Johnson's suspicion of DUI arrest in Arizona, you know? Super Bowl XIII (highlights) will always be remembered around these parts for Jackie Smith's drop in the end zone on the last pass thrown to him in his Hall of Fame career. That play, however, didn't finish off the Cowboys in a 35-31 loss to the Steelers that ultimately determined the Team of the '70s title. It would have tied the score in the third quarter, but it was just one of many crucial plays that didn't go the Cowboys' way. Steve Pate's DMN game story also mentions a fumbled exchange between Tony Dorsett and Drew Pearson on what was supposed to be a reverse pass, CB Aaron Kyle's on John Stallworth's 75-yard TD, a pass interference call on Benny Barnes that led to a lot of (bleeps) in quotes and a fumble by Randy White on a squib kickoff. And Terry Bradshaw, accused by Hollywood Henderson that week of not being able to spell "cat" if spotted the C and A, spelled MVP without any trouble after passing for 318 yards and four TDs.

| E-mail entryThe entry "Super Bowl XIII: Poor Jackie Smith" has no entry tags. Everybody's favorite wide receiver, Terrell Owens, will do a interview today on CNN around 2 p.m. T.O. will talk about, what else, T.O.  AP Pacman Jones has voiced a request to join the Valley Ranch circus, but he'll have to convince tough-on-crime commissioner Roger Goodell to reinstate him first. And ESPN reports that it won't be easy, citing sources that say Sheriff Goodell is unlikely to reinstate Jones immediately. The Titans reportedly told Jones and his representatives that they'll try to trade him after he's reinstated. I can't imagine teams offering anything more than a conditional late-round pick. UPDATE: Pacman's attorney told The Tennesseean that his client wants to stay with the Titans now. Judging by Jeff Fisher's comments over the last year, I don't believe that feeling is mutual.

Who needs free agency, the draft and the regular season to set odds on which team will win? The Cowboys and Colts are tied for the second best odds behind the Patriots. You can win $600 if you bet a C-note on America's Team right now. Bill Parcells' Dolphins and the Falcons are tied for the longest long shots. You can win 15 grand off a $100 bet on those teams.

Todd Archer takes a closer look at what makes Witten, one of four finalists for NFL Man of the Year, the man he is. Comments (4) Leave comment
