ARLINGTON -- Former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin admits being “fascinated” by suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones.

He is fascinated by his legendary tails of woe and the apparent interest by the Cowboys in acquiring Jones.

And Irvin is fascinated because of the similarities to his own controversial entanglements to his career with the Cowboys that nearly derailed his chances of making the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Although Irvin says he still fights the battle of public perception, he was able to overcome them to become a member of the Hall of Fame Class of 2007.

And he believes it’s too early for people to give up on Jones _ who has been suspended indefinitely by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

“I’m not just interested in what happens, I’m interested in why it happened,” said Irvin, who will have Jones as a guest on the Michael Irvin show from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. today on KESN 103.3 FM ESPN radio. “That’s what I try to figure out with myself all the time. I self-evaluate. He is a young man. We pray and hope he gets it going again.” Click here to continue reading...
