It probably is for show and display and orchestrated by big daddy Jerry Jones..
Suspended Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones has entered an alcohol treatment center.
The oft-troubled player has checked into a facility “in another part of the country,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told The Associated Press on Monday.
“It’s totally done through and by the NFL,” Jerry Jones said.
The NFL said Monday it would not comment.
The league suspended Adam Jones for at least four games last Tuesday for again violating its personal conduct policy.
Only six weeks after being reinstated from a 17-month suspension because of repeated legal problems, Jones was involved in an alcohol-related scuffle Oct. 7 with one of his bodyguards at a private party in Dallas.
The Cowboys had employed the bodyguards to try to keep Jones out of trouble.
“They lost their job when he got suspended. They lost it because there’s no more Adam to look out for,” Jerry Jones said after a news conference announcing a company the Cowboys are forming with the New York Yankees to handle concession and merchandise sales at their new stadiums.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will determine the full length of the suspension after the Cowboys play Nov. 16 at Washington. Goodell has said a lifetime ban remains a possibility.
The league has said reinstatement will depend on strict compliance with treatment plans and an evaluation by “clinical experts.”
Asked later Monday if he believed the treatment will help Adam Jones deal with his problems, Cowboys coach Wade Phillips stammered a bit before reiterating that he wasn’t going to discuss players not with the team.
