Adam or Pacman? Even Terrell Owens isn't sure

Posted: Aug 02, 2008 14:20 ET


OXNARD, Calif.(AP) What started as a simple question turned into a ``Who's On First''-type of exchange between Terrell Owens and a television reporter.

Midway through one of Owens' interviews this week, a reporter from a Spanish television network wanted to know by which name T.O. refers to Adam ``Pacman'' Jones, the new Cowboys cornerback.

The still-suspended Jones said in June that he preferred to be called ``Adam or Mr. Jones'' instead of his nickname. But since getting to camp, he has seemed to embrace the nickname again. His teammates, coaches and fans call him ``Pacman,'' and that's how he signs his autograph.

Here's the exchange between the reporter and T.O.:

Reporter: ``Do you call Pacman Pacman?''

T.O.: ``What's that?''

Reporter: ``Pacman.''

T.O.: ``Who?''

Reporter: ``Adam.''

T.O.: ``What about it?''

Reporter: ``I thought he didn't like to be called Pacman anymore. You said Pacman, Pacman Jones.''

T.O.: ``What about it?''

Reporter: ``I thought he didn't want to be called Pacman anymore.''

T.O.: ``Did somebody call him Pacman?''

Reporter: ``You did, man.''

T.O.: ``Dude, I don't care.''

Reporter: ``OK.''
