The good news about Adam 'Pacman' Jones

The Pacman era at Valley Ranch is most likely about to end or be put on hold for a little while after he threw some haymakers at a hotel. I just can't see tough-on-thugs Roger Goodell letting this one slide less than a month and a half after reinstating Mr. Jones.
"Adam knows how much emphasis I put on making sure that he makes good choices going forward, that he avoids situations where he can reflect poorly on himself, the Cowboys or the NFL." Goodell said earlier today, before news broke about Pacman's situation that reflects poorly on himself, the Cowboys and the NFL.
But it's not all bad news.
On the bright side, there isn't any need to waste jet fuel if the commish wants to have a face-to-face with Pacman to inform him of his penalty. Pacman conveniently got into a scrap with his bodyguard the day before Sheriff Goodell arrived for a planned Valley Ranch visit.
And Jerry Jones, who was well aware of the risk for a major PR embarrassment when the Cowboys traded for Pacman, will have another 2009 pick in his pocket. Per the terms of the trade with the Titans, the Cowboys will get Tennessee's fifth-round pick if Pacman misses any action because of off-field issues after reinstatement, which is pretty much a certainty at this point.
