Oh Pacman, why do you torture me?

Ok, I just wanted to give my reaction to the Adam Jones incidnet currently in the news. I have not commented on anything yet, because I wanted to wait and see what Jerry Jones would do. About 22 minutes ago, Jones announced that Adam Jones would not recieve any punnishment for the altercation involving him and one of his personal security officers at a Dallas hotel.

Clearly owner, Jones is going to underplay this situation in an attempt to help it blow over and protect his own reputation. While I do not know the details of the incident, I would assume that Jerry Jones does. And I will put my trust in his disciplanry decisions. I don't think that he would have decided on this outcome if there was more to the story, espically knowing that Goodell would do his own prodding. And will he ever!

Furthermore, I don't beleive that this was anything that should require further investigation by league offices or Roger Godell. There was no police report filed, not injuries sustained, and no witnessed to say that anything else happened.

While, I do agree that Adam Jones should be on one of the shortest leashed in all of the NFL, you have to understand that he is under an intense amount of pressure and scrutiny here, i.e. the personal security detail hired to keep tabs on him at all times. He is practically sleeping, eating, and crapping with someone watching him. If he were stepping out of line for something valid then I think we would hear about it.

Let Jerry Jones handle his boys when they do something he doesn't like. I am ashamed to be taking a quote from Tank Johnson, but, "Sometimes you don't have to go to the principals office, you can hadle it in the classroom."

Hey Nicole - I totally agree with you here. I punch my bodyguards all the time -- no big deal.

Seriously though, maybe the 'boys need to invest in some more intimidating body guards. Pac Man is not that big of a dude; the fact that considers rumbling with the guy who is supposed to be big enough to protect him from huge masses of people is not a good sign.
