Cowboys Won’t Be Punishing Pacman

The Cowboys have decided to go ahead and let Adam Jones’ bathroom altercation slide. According to Chris Mortensen (who is NEVER wrong, so these must be facts), the Cowboys won’t be disciplining Jones:↵↵⇥An internal investigation by the Dallas Cowboys into Adam “Pacman” Jones’ latest incident concludes that he was not in violation of his contract, or the understanding about conduct he had with owner Jerry Jones, a high-ranking team official said.↵⇥↵⇥According to an investigation conducted by team security, the team official said Jones did get into a brief scuffle with the bodyguard that was assigned to the defensive back for a private event Tuesday night at a Dallas hotel. ↵⇥

↵⇥↵⇥The bodyguard, an off-duty policeman who is part of a security detail assigned to Jones, told team security that some “kidding around” and “playfulness” between himself and the player resulted in a brief scuffle in a restroom. A vanity mirror suffered minor damage.↵⇥

↵↵Oh, great, just what Jones needs in his life: a broken mirror. At least now he can blame his next incident on his cursed luck -- not his fault!↵↵The fact that Jones has let him off the hook doesn’t mean he’s off scot free. The NFL is conducting its own investigation, and we all know there is nothing Roger Goodell enjoys more than handing out suspensions. Dude’s a buzzkill. Although if it really was just some joking around gone bad, and no humans were hurt, and no police report was filed, then it seems to me that the right decision is a verbal wrist slap and nothing more. ↵
