"Pacman'' not lying about Rams

Dallas cornerback Adam "Pacman'' Jones knows strip clubs ... and a little something about which way to turn when cops take his mugshot (which has happened at least five times since he was drafted out of West Virginia in 2005).

Jones also knows a little something about playing cornerback and returning punts, at least he did until being suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for his involvement in a February 2007 melee/shooting at the Minxx Go-Go bar in Las Vegas that left a club employee paralyzed.

Pacman may not understand just how intense the rivalry between the Cowboys and Eagles is, since he has only played one regular season game with Dallas since being reinstated, but even he knows the one thing virtually no one at Lincoln Financial Field for the Eagles' 38-3 demolition of the Rams Sunday could possibly debate.

That, for as well as the Eagles played, the Rams are horrendous.

Here is Pacman's pearl to the Dallas Morning News as to how Donovan McNabb was able to put wide receivers Greg Lewis, Hank Baskett and DeSean Jackson in the Birds' record books as the first trio of wideouts since 1960 to each go over 100 yards.

"They played the Rams, dude,'' Jones said.

Who needs Terrell Owens to keep the fire of this rivalry stoked?

Keep it right here throughout the week for all the insight (and ridiculous hype) leading up to Monday's night's NFC East showdown between the Eagles and Cowboys at Texas Stadium.
