ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has
suspended Adam "Pacman" Jones indefinitely for violating the
league's personal conduct policy.

Jones was involved in an alcohol-related scuffle with one of his
bodyguards at a private party in Dallas on Oct. 7.

The league said the Dallas Cowboys cornerback will miss the next
four games, and Goodell will determine the final length of the
suspension after the Cowboys' game in Washington on Nov. 16.

In a letter Tuesday to Jones, Goodell called the latest incident
the continuation of "a disturbing pattern of behavior and clearly
inconsistent with the conditions I set for your continued
participation in the NFL."

The NFL's investigation comes six weeks after Goodell reinstated
Jones from a 17-month suspension after several run-ins with the law
while with the Tennessee Titans.

I am surprised that he never got in trouble in Morgantown.....Did he just go that bad that quick or do you think there was some sweeping under the rug...
