I Love This Story...

Being from Washington, D.C., I am understandably a fan of the Washington Native Americans. So I’m very excited any time the Dallas Cowpokes do anything to make themselves look bad. I am still heady over the fact that Washington won the first of the two regular season meetings this year of these two teams with the most natural of rivalries. (Just look at the names of the teams). Many fans don’t care if Washington wins any other game all year, as long as they beat Dallas twice. Of course they rarely beat them once.
Due to their past indiscretions, I have often joked that the Dallas players have to be in a court supervised work release program in order to get out of jail to play on Sundays.
But this story sends me over the top.
It seems that Dallas police were called to an upscale downtown hotel because of a disturbance late last Tuesday night. Apparently Dallas Cornerback, Adam “Pacman” Jones and another man got into a “scuffle.” But here’s the kicker…the other man was a bodyguard who is part of a security detail provided by the team to be with Jones at all times. Presumably to keep him out of trouble…you know like “scuffles” in upscale downtown hotels. Let me repeat…the team provides a bodyguard “at all time” to keep one of its players out of trouble…and the player gets into it with the bodyguard. No charges were filed and the team will not punish Adams. So, I guess supplying an ever present punching bag, in the form of a babysitter/bodyguard will help cut down on the law suits and the jail time.
Speaking of jail time, according to FOX sports news…
Adam Jones was arrested six times and involved in 12 incidents requiring police intervention from the time the Tennessee Titans drafted him in the first round in 2005 and sent him to Dallas in April to complete a long-discussed trade.
"Before he joined the Cowboys, he built up a reservoir of doubt," Jerry Jones said. "He had created with his actions no benefit of the doubt."
Because of that, Jerry Jones knew when Adam Jones came to Dallas that something "could possibly happen." The owner never anticipated a scuffle with one of his own security people.
"I did not dream that we would get in a situation where we had all the structure in place and literally have an incident that casts lightly with him publicly or with the league that would involve the very people that you're doing the structure with," Jerry Jones said.
Jerry Jones said the incident took part at a hotel where the player was attending a private party. There was alcohol served at the party, but Jones was told that the player's "conduct should not be interpreted as over drinking."
