Cowboys are on a roll..

From PFT:

With multiple Cowboys gone for multiple games after a devastating loss in the desert, the next challenge on the horizon for the franchise is the looming suspension of cornerback Pacman Jones. Both Adam Schefter of NFLN and Chris Mortensen of ESPN have reported on Monday that a decision is coming within the next 24 hours. And the kicker for Jones could be the involvement of alcohol in last week’s incident. Per Mort, one of Pacman’s conditions upon reinstatement was full compliance with the terms of any pending probation. Jones is on probation both for guilty pleas in Georgia and Nevada. Probation arrangements commonly include a commitment to the avoidance of alcohol. Based on multiple media reports, Jones was drinking last week. So that fact, if true, could provide the fuel for a suspension. But that could be a tough sell for Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who said on Friday that it is “ridiculous” to even discuss a possible league-imposed suspension. Still, it sure sounds as if Commissioner Roger Goodell is prepared to do whatever is necessary to address the problem. “[T]his is a very important issue to me,” Goodell said during a Monday luncheon in Tampa. “And I agree, it is a privilege to play in the National Football League. And I believe that message has been clearly heard by our players and coaches and everybody associated with the NFL. And I believe Adam understands what’s expected of him. I am disappointed to hear that he was involved in something last week. We’ve been collecting the facts on that so I can make a judgment on that. . . . He knows he is running out of rope with respect to this. And if he’s not going to behave responsibly and reflect positively on the NFL, the Cowboys and himself, then he won’t play in the NFL.” The comments drew “rousing applause,” according to Chris Harry of the Orlando Sentinel. Goodell also threw a barb at Jones for his well-publicized attempt to change his name from Pacman back to Adam. When asked by a member of the audience about “Pacman Jones,” Goodell said, “What a shock. . . . And by the way, it’s ‘Mr. Jones’ now.” In the league’s eyes, however, Jones’ name soon could be mud. Or dumbass. Or both.
