YAHOO’S SHUTDOWN CORNER rolls up the story of Corey Cecil, a drug dealer admitting in court to selling some expensive green to members of the Tennessee Titans. About $1,000 an ounce expensive. That is, the part of the ounce he didn’t skim off the top.

“Cecil also confirmed in questioning that he was “pinching out” seven grams of each ounce and selling it to the players as a full ounce with the Titans players unaware of being shortchanged.

According to Cecil’s testimony in the transcript, he would purchase the marijuana for approximately $650 per ounce, then after removing the seven grams, would sell the drug for ‘Like a grand.’”

Adam Jones (known to friends and family as Pacman) wants to play in Dallas. The Cowboys apparently want him to play in Dallas too, and are closing in on a trade for him.

(Wait… he plays football, too? He’s amazing!)

Wait, why are you still here? Is there something more? Did he ask for a retired number or something? Tampering charges? Is there lettuce stuck in his teeth? What is it?

Oh, that’s right. Pacman Jones is Pure Evil and must be smited by a righteous hand. Thanks, Kyle Turley!

It turned out to be quite a wild weekend in Denver. The Nuggets notched some new team records in a smashing of the Supersonics, while LenDale White did some smashing of his own while in town.

Sunday Night, the Nuggets scored 168 points - the most ever in a non-OT game. (The East Kentucky Miners are unimpressed.) The 168-116 blowout was also the largest-ever margin of victory for the Denver squad. As Chris Tomasson of the ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS remarked, the Sonics, “who might relocate to Oklahoma City, were so bad, they should have moved at halftime.”

But not as bad as White’s behavior the evening before. Read more…

In an interview on 680 AM in his hometown of Atlanta, Pacman Jones joked about having his own stripper pole, at which point the radio host quickly pointed out that Jones was not serious — just in case Roger Goodell was listening and doesn’t get self-deprecating humor.

(It’s a stripper pole, for the rigamarole.)

Jones, you may remember, was suspended last year for the entire season for violating the squishy new NFL player conduct policy, and a couple weeks ago his Tennessee Titans granted him the opportunity to seek a trade. And wouldn’t this be fantastic — he wants to play for the Dallas Cowboys. Read more…

There’s new, really fun video of Pacman Jones, from an interview with ROLLING OUT:

The interview is barely two minutes, but Jones doesn’t disappoint, displaying his trademark irrepressible charm and sophisticated wit.

The highlight of the video for Tennessee fans is no doubt Jones saying he wants to ditch the Titans for the Cowboys. Read more…

Ten years ago today, the Oilers were wrapping up their first season away from Houston, playing at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis. And thanks to the Steelers, NFL fans in Nashville got their team a year early.

The TENNESSEAN explains how Pittsburgh fans helped convince Oilers owner Bud Adams to relocate to the Music City sooner than expected. The 1997 season saw small crowds turn out in Memphis for pro football - even though (or maybe because) the stop was only temporary.

Attendance averaged less than 30,000 per game - reaching a low of just over 17,000 for a battle against the Bengals. However, in the final home game of the season, the Liberty Bowl was tolling with over 50,000 fans. Unfortunately, most were wearing black & gold.

Former safety Marcus Robertson recalls, “As soon as we walked out for warm-ups, you would have thought it was a home game for Pittsburgh. That’s all I remember, there were a bunch of Pittsburgh jerseys out there. That was just very disappointing.”

The spectacle was enough for Adams, who moved the team to Nashville the following year - even without his brand-new stadium finished. The Oilers spent 1998 at Vanderbilt Stadium, before changing their address to Adelphia Coliseum, and changing their names to the Titans.

We’re sure the folks of Houston felt real sorry for poor ol’ Bud.
