Jerry Jones accepts blame for Jivin' at Joule Gone Wrong, praises Pacman Jones' compliance in NFL program

Adam "Pacman" Jones' problems were solved during his trip to Boston, but they apparently weren't alcohol related. Jerry Jones took care of the issue by canning Pacman's security patrol.

"Yes, i do take responsibility for the fact that is was my own security that the issue was a part of," Jerry said, though he stressed that he was not throwing bodyguard/babysitter/bathroom brawler Tommy Jones "under the bus."

Jerry, who once labeled the possibility of suspending Pacman as ridiculous before reversing field after Roger Goodell's decision, did go on the record again as supporting the sheriff's decision. But he also praised Pacman for his compliance in the NFL's probation plan.

Said Jerry: "He's been in the NFL program and adhered to to the T for two years and did exactly what the NFL program would do, which by the way had no provision for him not to have a drink and literally graduated from that and for behavior and otherwise."

So Jerry is welcoming back Pacman with open arms and an apology. Wade Phillips wasn't so fired up about the subject, preferring to wait until Pacman arrives to talk about him.

Oh no. He's not throwing Tommy Jones under the bus at all.

Good Gawd, Jerry, this sucking up to Pacman is ridiculous. Don't you have any self-respect?

I'd like the see the exact quote on the apology bit. I doubt Jerry actually used that word. Sounds like Tim MacMahon editorializing to me.

Oh no. He's not throwing Tommy Jones under the bus at all.

You have to ask?

Don't you know Tommy Jones wishes he could tell his side of the story. I wonder how long he has to keep quite to keep from getting sued by Jerry.

What did he say?

Sounds like Jerry had a 12-pack before making that statement.

 

[Vertigo_17]

JJ is the one how needs treatment...

 

[DallasEast]

Just once, Jerry Jones could allow a troubled player to take public responsibility for their own negative actions and not comment on their behalf. This was definitely an opportunity for the general manager to remained silent in the background and allowed the person in question to step into the spotlight. Then again, Jerry Jones has always been TOO protective of his players.

"Captain Enabler" to the rescue.

You mean Pac-man could have a drink??? Surprising....

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Unfortunately bad situations and Adam Jones being in the same place are not surprising.

I wouldn't take that to the bank just yet. My guess is he did get gigged on the alcohol.

 

[odog422]

I could have sworn when all this went down Jerry publicly said how Jones could not drink. Now it's that it wasnt part of the provisions of his NFL program.

Once again, it's not Pac's fault...

Over-bearing, egotistical, back-peddling, bumpkin. Get a clue Bodine. You're the new and lesser improved Al Davis of the NFL. Congrats.

No wonder this team plays dumb football much of the time and leads the league in penalties!

By all means, yes. It works wonders for him.

No. No, he doesn't. He's got alot more to offer in that respect, unfortunately.
