Roger Goodell's Decision Will Wait
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made a scheduled interview on ESPN Radio this afternoon with hosts Mike Tirico and Alex Van Pelt.
As expected, Goodell addressed the situation regarding Adam Jones, and it does not appear any action will be coming right away.
"We are trying to determine all the facts," Goodell said. "It's clear there was some type of incident and we want to understand all the facts. Once we understand all the facts we can make a judgement."
Goodell did not say whether Jones will be suspended or fined.
Goodell said there should not have been any misunderstanding regarding Jones' behavior after he was reinstated.
"There were certain things I expected of him and I think he'd understand that," Goodell said. "I guess I'm disappointed we're having this discussion."

Dallas Police Respond to Disturbance Involving Athlete
On Tuesday October 7th approximately 11:00 p.m., there was a disturbance
call made by an employee at the Jewel Hotel at 1530 Main Street. The
call stated that there was a disturbance between two black males and a
black female arguing and fighting at the location and that the suspects
were in the lobby.
Two police elements arrived at the call and it was determined that the
disturbance was over and that some hotel employees over heard a scuffle
in the men's lobby restroom. According to the reporting officer, there
were no witnesses that came forward, at that time, stating that an
assault had occurred. The hotel management did point out that a glass
light switch plate had been broken but stated everything was OK.
Both of the men, one being identified as Adam Jones and the other as his
private bodyguard, stated everything was "OK". Both parties were driven
from the location by an acquaintance. The information on the alleged
assault by Mr. Jones was obtained after the incident had ended and the
alleged victim, (bodyguard), did not want to pursue any action stating
that this issue was a private matter.

Nothing More Today From the NFL
NFL spokesperson Greg Aiello said in an e-mail there will be nothing else coming from the league today regarding Adam Jones.
That means not to expect a decision regarding any disciplinary action taken against Jones today.
