IRVING, Texas (AP) - The NFL today suspended Dallas Cowboys
cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones for violating the league's
personal conduct policy.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will determine the full length of
the suspension, initially four games, following the Dallas game in
Washington on Nov. 16.
Jones was in repeated legal trouble while with the Tennessee
Titans.
He was involved in an alcohol-related scuffle Oct. 7 with one of
his bodyguards at a private party at a Dallas hotel. The
disturbance came only six weeks after Goodell reinstated Jones from
a 17-month suspension.
Here's more:
-- Dallas police said officers responded at about 11 p.m.
Officers said the matter was over by the time they arrived and some
hotel employees reported overhearing a tussle in the men's restroom
in the lobby.
The player and his bodyguard, part of a security detail provided
by the Cowboys to be with him at all times, said everything was OK.
The bodyguard didn't want to press charges.
-- Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has said the scuffle was the result
of back-and-forth banter between the player and his bodyguard that
got out of hand.
A small glass item on the vanity in the restroom was damaged.
