The Shield and the Jolly Roger were not jolly in the least after the latest round of shenanigans by Dallas Cowboys defensive back Adam 'Pac Man' Jones ((pictured trying to get in the way of Arizona's Tim Hightower, thanks Getty Images)). So today, the Commissioner pulled the plug on his game for at least four games...technically, it's an indefinite suspension without pay subject to review after the November 16 game against the Washington Redskins.
Roger Goodell called the tete-a-tete with his team-appointed bodyguard a "a disturbing pattern of behavior and clearly inconsistent with the conditions I set for your continued participation in the NFL."
The suspension will cost Jones a little over $41-grand a game.
From Tood Archer's piece in the Dallas Morning News... ahem... quote...
"According to the league's release, "The decision on whether Jones can return to play will be based on Jones' strict compliance with his NFL and Dallas Cowboys treatment plans as well as on evaluations of Jones' progress that will be provided to Commissioner Goodell by clinical experts retained by the NFL."
