Cowboys owner Jerry Jones didn't necessarily close the door on a return for Pacman Jones to the Cowboys. But he made it clear that both are better off with Pacman out of the Cowboys' locker room.

"I'm not going to go that far," Jerry Jones said when asked if Pacman was gone for good. "That's pretty sweeping; it covers a lot. But he's better off, and we're better off him not being on our roster."

--The Cowboys are getting closer and closer to completing a $1.1 billion new stadium in Arlington that owner Jerry Jones believes will set the standard for all other stadiums in the future.

Sometimes called Jerry World, the stadium will be a veritable Taj Mahal. But Jerry Jones said it's not his legacy any more than these are his Cowboys. He said the new stadium is for the fans and the team.

"I want it to be the Cowboys, I'm not trying to be modest," Jones said. "I don't prefer the reference of Jerry's Place or Jerry's World. I really don't. Because it really is not what our commitment was made to do. ... I really did up the investment in the stadium for one and one reason only -- the visibility and the tradition and where I hope the Cowboys are 30, 40 and 50 years from now."

--Cowboys owner Jerry Jones sees no problem with the way discipline and fines were handed out last season. But he acknowledges that the Cowboys need to correct their perception of being soft on crime.

So how do you correct the perception?

"I'm not so sure about that," Jones said. "I don't want to go as far as announcing every fine we give. There is a certain element of discipline that I think all of the other members of the team ought to know about it."

QUOTE TO NOTE: "It's beyond anything I ever could have imagined, being part of the Cowboys, the NFL and sports for 20 years. The positives far outweigh the negatives that I can think of. I'd like to have won more Super Bowls. I really would've liked to have won more Super Bowls." -- Jerry Jones on his 20 years as owner of the Cowboys.
