Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Ticket listeners just heard the morning Musers debate this a.m.'s breaking Pacman Jones news: Jailed 29-year-old Arvin Edwards tells Nashville's CBS affiliate that the new Dallas Cowboys corner ordered him to shoot up a Las Vegas nightclub in 2007. Jones has maintained it didn't go down like that: The former Tennessee Titan -- suspended from playing in the NFL till Roger Goodell decides he's a changed man -- says Edwards was the shooter and that he later tried to extort Jones, threatening his mother and daughter if the then-Titan didn't cough up $15,000. Edwards says, Not s'much, claiming that the shooter was a friend of Pacman's and that Jones "paid somebody to shoot that club up." --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
