Pacman Jones in trouble?  No way.

Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones placed his status with the NFL in jeopardy by getting involved in an altercation early Wednesday morning at a Dallas hotel.

According to Dallas police, Jones hit his bodyguard, Tommy Jones, at the Joule hotel. The bodyguard, police said, declined to press charges.

Deputy Chief Vince Golbeck, commander of the central patrol division, said officers were called to the Joule about 1:30 a.m. and were told there was a disturbance between Adam Jones and one of his security officers. Golbeck said officers believed Adam Jones was drinking and that he may have stayed at the hotel.

The thing is, if it's true that the bodyguard was the target, there's nooooo way this doesn't quickly get stamped out unless the guy decides it's time to cash in and sues.  Then maybe.  But not if he thinks there's more money from staying on the payroll.

ESPN adds this unsourced nugget:

The expectation is that Jones is likely to be called to New York to explain his conduct to Goodell, a source close to the player said. Jones' reinstatement is contingent upon his ability to conduct himself appropriately.

More interestingly, how on earth did the Cowboys slip this term into their deal with the Titans:

The Cowboys would give the Titans a sixth-round pick in next year's draft provided Jones doesn't get into any trouble during the season. But if the league finds that Jones violated the conduct policy and suspends him, the Cowboys would get a fifth-round pick from the Titans.

Seems like this should be a situation where if you bought it, you better not break it.
