Contrary to a report from the New Orleans Times-Picayune that cornerback Pacman Jones failed to show up for his open workout, Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports that the session is occurring.
“He’s running the 40 right now and just did an interview with the camera crew we have there,” La Canfora said via e-mail.
La Canfora also said that five teams are present.
The problem apparently is that Jim Varney of the Times-Picayune believed that the session would occur at the same place where the Tulane Pro Day occurred. It’s actually happening at another location.
Hopefully, Varney will be issuing an apology to Vern.

At least you didn’t report that Terry Bradshaw died.
Oh.
Nice misreporting! Sounds like ESPN!
This is why you should find the REAL info before you post everything mumbled and rumored from someone… by the way is Terry Bradshaw still dead?
Forget that. Varney really needs to apologize for all those Earnest movies he starred in.
RIP, Terry. That hack Leno will miss you dearly.
it is the rumor mill!
Duh!!!! Its closer to the strip club fool!!!
What 5 teams are there??
@akshun . . .
just as shreveport television stations were reporting the existence of a rumor that bradshaw had died, a new orleans newspaper reported that the pacman workout wasn’t proceeding. and yet it’s our fault for passing along a report from established media entities. yeah, that makes sense.
Hey Florio….nice reporting and thanks for ripping the Lion’s again……Idiot
I’m shocked he’s not playing for us already…
Better yet there doing the work out at the Strip Clubs parking lot
Well, what was his 40 time???
If either VinceMcMahon or Jerry Jones aren’t in attendance, his odds of signing are relatively low…
He’s gonna go with Detroit. Making it rain costs far less there.
its called the rumor mill for a reason…. DUR!!
It’s the rumor mill retards.
“Duh!!!! Its closer to the strip club fool!!!”
Uh, I believe it’s prononced
“scrip” club.
Why bother even going? The dude is a loser.
He was probably caught in a rainstorm of dollar bills which made him late.
Chill everyone, dollar bill rainstorms are very hard to drive in.

Wow, Mike is pissed. Yes, akshun was being a dick, but you forgot to answer his question: Is Terry Bradshaw still dead? lol
You gotta love it when bloggers get pissed about inaccurate information in a RUMORS section.
No more making it rain for Pacman, he will be making it hail (handful of nickels) on the league minimum.
I remain dumbfounded that no one in the media will come out and say it: Pacman would rather be a gangsta than a football player – just wants the NFL to subsidize that life style.
Geez…………………some folks really have a hard on for Florio. Myself, I can take him or leave him, but I’ve always liked the site and continue to check in daily.
To get upset about a post on a page clearly titled “The Rumor Mill” puts the joke right back on you.
@ windex666…….Do you actually know what the league minimum is?……Or did you base your annunal salary and times it by 30 years?
I can’t get a job in a call center because I smoke pot. But maybe if I tell someone to kill a man, and drive a stripper’s face into a stage I can.
I ain’t never been to no scrip club.
I don’t even like da scrip club.
pacman is a joke
um Terry Bradshaw ran a 4.4 40, and Pacman died in a stripper fueled drive by with Javon Walker and Brandon Marshall in the car……….Report it Florio!
nice…
When Bradshaw dies, and Pacman shows up to the funeral with strippers, THAT will be news…
