The rain has stopped in Dallas. At least for four weeks. Cowboys cornerback Pacman Jones was suspended on Tuesday by commissioner Roger Goodell for at least four games for his most recent violation of the league's personal conduct policy. Jones reportedly was involved in an alcohol-related incident at a Dallas hotel on October 8th, where he scuffled with one of his bodyguards. Goodell will decide after the team's game against Washington in Week 11 whether or not to reinstate Jones.
When Goodell reinstated Jones from suspension before the regular season began, sources said one of the commissioner's conditions for Jones to remain an active player was that he remain in compliance with all aspects of his three-year probation from when he pleaded no contest last February to a felony in Fayette County, Ga. This violation comes at a time when the Cowboys can ill afford any distractions, as the team is playing in the toughest division in football with the highest of expectations for the season.
Goodell also said his decision on whether Jones can return to play will be based on Jones' strict compliance with the NFL and the Cowboys in relation to treatment plans and evaluations by clinical experts.
Really folks, raise your hands if you did not see this coming...
