PACMAN GETS A JOB, BUT NOT THE KIND HE WANTED

Free-agent cornerback Pacman Jones has been available to be signed by any team for nearly a month.  Not surprisingly, he has found no takers.

But Jones has found a job.  A part-time gig.  It might represent an implicit concession that his NFL playing days are over.

Jones will be a participant in Spike TV's Pros Vs. Joes, an athletic competition between washed-up pro athletes and washed-up non-pro-athletes.

Other former NFL players include Tim Brown, Rich Gannon, Priest Holmes, Steve McNair, and Simeon Rice.

The show will be hosted by our pal Jay Glazer and his FOX NFL Sunday cohort Michael Strahan.

Taping begins on March 3, which would cause Pacman to miss part of the offseason workout program, if any team were actually interested in signing him.

"Washed-up pro athletes" is a bit harsh isn't it? There have been more than a few hall of famers on the show and while the execution may not be great, Pros vs Joes is still based on a pretty cool idea.
