Pacman shouldn't hold his breath about reinstatement
Pacman Jones will apply for reinstatement this week, but it would be a major upset if NFL commissioner Roger Goodell decides to put him back in the league's good graces that quickly.
Jones hopes to be traded to the Cowboys, although talks have bogged down in recent days. But Goodell said at the NFL owners meetings in Palm Beach earlier this montht that he had no plans to change his timetable for any possible reinstatement. Goodell has said he will address the matter before the start of training camp. Goodell also shot down any speculation that he might rule sooner if circumstances - i.e. a trade - dictated a quick resolution.
