Thus...in the late 90's, the state with the highest per capita use of Ritalin was........Utah. This is counter-intuitive, but most things about ADHD are counter-intuitive.

Dont pay the guy, dont trade him, just let him sit on his whiny, complaining ass for a year.But I'm sure Jerry Jones will probably jump at the chance to add another worthless, self-absorbed, punk to the Cowboys' roster. Although Terrell Owens doesnt seem to be as much of a troublemaker as he was in Philadelphia I still believe he will cause a major stink in the near future. Tank Johnson is a disaster waiting to happen. And God be with us if "Pacman" Jones ever becomes a Cowboy.

Management's problem by letting such a group of criminals operate without trading them off or cutting them long ago.So far TO has been a model player and is still one of the top five WRs in the league. From what's come out of Philly last year I'm about ready to believe McNabb might have been as much of the problem as TO was there. As for Pacman, I'd love to have the guy, he's one of the top cover corners in the league, and he's operating pretty much on his last strike...another "make it rain" episode and he'll probably never play football again. Likewise Tank Johnson.One good thing about the NFL (from an owner's perspective) is the lack of guaranteed contracts. Guys like Tank or Pacman can be signed with very little risk....if they screw up, you cut them and take the bang against your salary cap, but you don't owe the punks a cent more than the signing bonus. So the risk for signing guys like this is minimal, while the upside is tremendous. Especially for guys operating with a very thin margin of error...even if they are too stupid to realize one more screw up will stop the gravy train, their agents are smart enough to pound into them that they are basically going to have to fall back on their "college degrees" (giggle) if they mess up again. Seems to be a powerful motivator in most cases.As for Chad Johnson, the only problem with him is that you get a very talented head case with a large salary figure. Unlike Pacman, for example, Chad isn't on his last gasp and will command a high contract with a giant up front bonus. I'd personally stay away from him and hope Terry Glenn comes back healthy, Crayton is a little better, and maybe you can pick up a good WR with one of your two first round picks. Unfortunately there would not be enough balls to go around with both TO and Ocho out there, IMO, and someone's feelings would get hurt....Mike B.

"Uhh...You do realize, Badmike, that you just described more than one Cowboy player with this statement. And the reason Cowboy management didn't cut anybody is because the owner breaks all the rules himself. A Dallas fan complaining about scofflaw players? You do recognize the irony, yes?
