“Pacman” Jones in the news again

IRVING, Texas — The NFL’s review of Adam “Pacman” Jones with his bodyguard won’t be completed until next week.

The Dallas Cowboys said they won’t discipline Jones. Of course they won’t, the more ex-cons they get on the team, the more tickets they seem to sell.

ESPN reported that NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an e-mail Friday that the league’s review won’t be completed until next week. He didn’t provide a specific time.

It is unclear if the league will take any punitive action against Jones, who six weeks ago was reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell from a 17-month suspension, including the entire 2007 season that followed a series of off-field problems.

Jones got into a scuffle at an upscale downtown Dallas hotel late Tuesday night with one of members of a security detail provided by the team to be with the cornerback at all times. The altercation occurred in a restroom.

The police felt there was no need for a report to be filed, but the league is continuing to investigate the matter, possibly to confirm there is no cover-up to a more serious issue.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the player broke no team rules, but said he was disappointed about the incident.

Jones is expected to play in today’s game.
