Pacman just doesn't learn...
http://beta.profootballtalk.com/2008...le-for-pacman/
NEW TROUBLE FOR PACMAN WSB-TV in Atlanta reports that Titans cornerback Pacman Jones allegedly punched a woman on January 3 in a North Atlanta strip club. And the woman whom he punched is a lawyer. The incident allegedly happened on January 3. The lawyer, Wanda Jackson, alleges that Jones entered a manager’s office, accusing the club among other things of stealing money from him. She says that, during the meeting, Jones lunged at her several times. She also alleges that, in a hallway after the meeting, he reached around a security guard and punched her. Though the report isn’t clear on this point, it appears that a warrant has been issued for Jones’ arrest, and that he’s due in Court on February 8. The incident could result in a claim that he has violated his probation in Nevada stemming from the infamous Las Vegas strip club “Make It Rain”/”Make It Hail . . . Bullets” incident from February 2007. Most importantly, it likely puts Jones back in the cross-hairs of Commissioner Roger Goodell. Though Jones has been cleared to re-join the Titans for offseason activities beginning in March, the league could look to swiftly impose further discipline on Jones as a result of these new allegations. As we’ve said all along, if Jones can’t stay out of trouble when he has a job, he surely won’t be able to stay out of trouble when he doesn’t have a job. Maybe when the former WVU star gets suspended the next time he’ll make good on his promise to return to school to get his degree . . . in Michigan.

Doesn't learn? No one got shot this time. I think he's getting better at it, and before you know it, he'll be beating up strippers and you'll barely hear a peep.

He should just buy a computer and just look at pron on the internets. Much cheaper and less likely he would get sued.

You know, none of my cases ever take me to strip clubs. Ever. I think it's time to change. I haven't been to a strip club in sometime, but isn't pretty much standard that a lap dance costs $20? If that's still the case, I'm starting to believe this is classic price fixing. We should bring a class action law suit against these establishments.

Exactly, Jon.
Of course, isn't Pacman supposed to be staying out of strip clubs anyways? Even if he isn't charged with anything, this may make it more difficult for him to be reinstated...

Bump
ESPN - Cowboys' Pacman gets in fight with bodyguard at Dallas hotel - NFL Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones got into a fight with one of his security guards at a downtown Dallas hotel on Wednesday morning, according to Dallas police. Dallas' CBS affiliate, Channel 11, first reported Wednesday that Jones was involved in an altercation at the Joule Hotel in Dallas, damaging a bathroom. Dallas Deputy Chief Vince Golbeck told the Dallas Morning News police were called to the scene at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. Chief Golbeck told the News he thought Jones was staying at the hotel and may have been drinking. There was no police report filed regarding the incident. No one was arrested and no one will be charged in connection with the fight. "Someone from the business called police," Dallas police spokesman Cpl. Jerry Monreal told The Associated Press. "Police arrived and spoke to the parties after they had a verbal argument. Both parties agreed to leave, and they left." Worrick Robinson, Jones' attorney, told ESPN's Ed Werder that he had a conversation with Jones on Wednesday about the alleged incident. "I'm not satisfied anything has happened,'' Robinson said. "I perform due diligence on rumors anytime there is an allegation made against a player I represent, and at this point I can tell you that I'm not satisfied that anything occurred.'' NFL spokesman Greg Aiello had no comment. The Dallas Cowboys said they had no information about the incident and also had no comment. A source told ESPN that NFL Security has been notified and is investigating. It was apparently a coincidence that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell visited Cowboys players at their Valley Ranch training complex Wednesday. Goodell suspended Jones from the league for the entire 2007 season for violating the NFL player conduct policy. Before meeting with the Cowboys on Wednesday, Goodell said to reporters in San Antonio: "Adam knows how much emphasis I put on making sure that he makes good choices going forward, that he avoids situations where he can reflect poorly on himself, the Cowboys or the NFL. So far he seems to have been able to do that very effectively. "I am supportive of him and am hopeful that he will be able to do that for the rest of his life. I am hoping he will not only be a great NFL player but he will continue to do the right things so he can lead a productive life off the field as well." The Cowboys acquired him from the Tennessee Titans in a historic trade in April. Jones became the first player in NFL history to be traded while serving a suspension. The expectation is that Jones is likely to be called to New York to explain his conduct to Goodell, a source close to the player said. Jones' reinstatement is contingent upon his ability to conduct himself appropriately. Deion Sanders, who has acted as a mentor for Adam Jones since his arrival in Dallas, was also at Valley Ranch on Wednesday, ESPN.com's Matt Mosley reported. Compounding the potential consequences for the Cowboys is that Jones has been starting at left cornerback for Pro Bowler Terence Newman, who is attempting to confirm a preliminary diagnosis of a sports hernia injury that could sideline him for a minimum of six weeks if surgery is required. In a sitdown interview with ESPN just before the start of the NFL season, Jones explained his decision to provide Jones with a four-man security detail at the team's expense. "We have in place a staff here that really is good at monitoring what our players do," the Cowboys owner said. "Now I say this at the risk of knowing that in the next minute or in the morning I could get a phone call. ...When you're dealing with the numbers of people that we're dealing with and get some news that isn't too savory. On the other hand, this does call for an awareness on the part of any player that he is being monitored and the reputation of our team is at stake." In his two decades of owning the Cowboys, Jones has established a reputation for taking risks on players who fit a specific profile. Jones says they must have a uniquely big work ethic, an intensely competitive personality and no history of substance abuse. Before completing the trade, Jerry Jones told ESPN he sent investigators to Tennessee to research every incident in which Adam had been accused of wrongdoing and was so thorough in his background check that he and an assistant personally looked into every person to whom Jones wrote a personal check to determine the quality of people with whom he was associating. Jerry Jones said he specifically informed Adam Jones he had lost most of his benefit of the doubt and underscored the privilege of playing in the NFL and wearing the Cowboys uniform. "When we do have a player come to the Dallas Cowboys," Jones said, "I really do expect him to understand that, 'Look you've stepped on some bright lines you may even have gone over them certainly, and we've got to really get it back in the middle because all your benefit of the doubt is gone.'" What a fucking idiot.

PACMAN JONES SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY
Posted by Michael David Smith on October 14, 2008, 2:42 p.m. EDT Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones has been suspended indefinitely for his latest violation of the NFL’s personal-conduct policy. Jones will be suspended without pay and will miss at least four games. After that, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will make a determination as to whether Jones deserves reinstatement. The NFL found that Jones was involved in an alcohol-related physical altercation and had therefore violated the terms of his reinstatement, ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported. The suspension is the latest piece of bad news in a terrible week for the Cowboys. One piece of good news: Ed Werder of ESPN reports that as a result of the suspension, the Titans will not have to send a sixth-round draft pick to the Tennessee Titans, and the Titans will have to send the Cowboys a fifth-round pick. |

Dallas gave the Titans a fourth-round pick in this year’s draft and a sixth-rounder next year for Jones. The Cowboys would get back a fourth-rounder in 2009 if Pacman isn’t reinstated, or a fifth-rounder if he returns then gets punished again.

I don't understand what him getting in a fight with one of his four security guards has to do with anything. Sounds like a personal/Cowboys problem to me.

Are you serious? Have you been under a rock for the past two years? Goddell is trying to "clean up" the league. A police matter is going to get you suspended in today's NFL. This is not just a fight, there are possible criminal charges. And for someone with Jones's past, that is bad news with the conduct guidelines in the NFL.

From what I understand from Mort earlier today, there was alcohol involved which is a technical violation of his probation. Even though the police didn't charge him, they could have easily violated him just for the drinking in public alone. That is why the NFL suspended him. |

There are those that say it should not matter what a player does off the field. I disagree. Forgetting rules and conditions put in place by the Commissioner, it has to do with the rewards of the NFL contract. We all know such contracts are short term in the least and finite compared to an average adult. You have done what it takes to get an NFL contract and you should do everything in your power to not jeopardize this golden chance. If you have a weakness for alcohol, then stay away from bars and nightclubs. If you have a weakness for violence, then stay away from situations where there would be criminal activity. That is a small price to pay for short term glory and riches. Problem is, some players believe they can have it both ways but when so much is at stake for such a short time, it would be prudent to not take risks and sacrifice a little.

I have no use for Adam Jones, despite a life long love for the Cowboys.
*However as I understand it* The body guard was intoxicated and confronted Adam, and Adam pushed him into an elevator door and he stumbled into some other guests. Thus the body guard was intoxicated it is an alcohol related incident. IF and I stress IF this is true, then Godell is over the line |

Even if you want to make the case that Goodell is well within his right to suspend players for "police matters", how the fcck do you suspend someone before the courts have had their say? If a player is deemed innocent, you've already punished him for something a court said he didn't do. I happen to think Jones is a piece of shit human being, but for authoritarian Goodell to suspend him when the Cowboys chose not to is complete BS. Question for the group: If this hadn't been all over ESPN the last few days do you think Goodell does anything? |

The bottom line is being an athelete isn't like other jobs where you punch a clock.
They get paid very well to play a game and part of that pay is being on the clock 24 hours as a representitive of the league and their team. If they dont like it they can go wash dishes. |
