2008-2009 Regular Season: Pregame - Adam Jones Already Hitting His Stride

I am probably not the first to comment on this tonight, but it appears, according to ESPN, that Adam Jones simply could not help himself and got into a slugging contest with one of his security guards at a hotel (while the police suggested he may have been drinking as well).
 
Now, if this is true, then, I want to know one thing: has Jerry Jones authorized the security team to beat the tar out of Adam whenever he attempts to misbehave? It should work seamlessly. Whenever a reporter asks why Adam has two black eyes, a bruised rib cage, and one side of his mustache shaved off, his security detail will just say, "He fell. Next question."
 
And, you have to love the fact that this occurred just as Newman was being publicly diagnosed with a McNabb, errrr, Sports Hernia.

Adam Jones is trying his hardest to prove that some people only have the heart to perform their jobs, but never the heart to behave and follow simple instructions off the job.
 
We would all love for him to succeed, as it directly affects the success of our team, but he may just be one of those guys who could have $100 billion waved in his face by the organization as the reward for being a good boy, and he would just throw it back in Jerry's face.
 
Sad, pathetic, and disgusting, but not disappointing. You cannot be disappointed by a person who only knows how to fail. Jenkins? Scandrick? You really want playing time? You think you are ready? You think you deserve it? It is heading like a locomotive right down your throat but will you choke on it?
 
We shall see. We always do.
