It'll slow until the commissioner says something and even then, if he determines that it was nothing, this whole thing will be over. That being said, I don't see Jones making to the end of the season. Even if this is nothing, I think that it goes to his character that he has not changed. When Tank got here last year we didn't hear a peep out of him. Why? Because he (not Jerry) hired a driver to pick him up, go to practice (or the game, or the airport) and then right back home. He knew he was on his last leg and has made the most of it.
The guys in the room will cover for him all day, but you know that they hate the distraction and he is not playing near the level to be able to look past it. The guy is not Deion (at least not yet). Last week TO got bar-b-que'd national for saying that he wanted the ball more, because he wants to win. He dosen't drink during the season, he is focused on winning. Do you really think that he or Romo or Witten or Ellis want this type of thing going on when they know how close they are to a ring??

I can't make any assumptions given the level of detail released, so far, I know he wrestled with some guy and a mirror may have been broken, that in and of itself does not doom the guy this season or reflect on his character change or lack thereof

Really? None? Let me see if I can help...
On July 13, 2005 Jones was arrested on charges of assault and felony vandalism stemming from a nightclub altercation. On September 5, 2005 Jones was a guest at the annual Nashville Sports Council Kickoff Luncheon. After a loud verbal tantrum when he was told to wait in line for his vehicle later that evening, Jones was counseled by the police. He also refused to pay for any valet services used that evening, because he didn't have money at the time. On October 2005, in a petition filed by the State of West Virginia, it was alleged that Jones had not made regular and sufficient contact with his probation officer and that he did not report his July arrest in Nashville in a timely fashion. The court ordered the probation extended for a period of 90 days, although the state requested it to be extended one year. On August 25, 2006, Jones was arrested in Murfreesboro, Tennessee for disorderly conduct and public intoxication after claiming that a woman stole his wallet. She claimed that she did not steal anything and Jones spat on her. Police officers said they ordered Jones to leave several times, but he refused, continuing to shout profanities at the woman. A judge granted him six months probation on the conditions that he stays out of further trouble and away from the nightclub. On October 26, 2006. Jones was cited for misdemeanor assault for allegedly spitting in the face of a female student from Tennessee State University during a private party at Club Mystic, a Nashville nightclub. He was suspended by the Titans for one game and was scheduled to be booked on the charge on November 17, 2006. Jones also is set to appear in a Fayetteville, Georgia court in 2007 for his February 2006 incident on subpoenas for felony and misdemeanor obstruction of justice charges for an incident outside a home. The charges of marijuana possession in the same state were dismissed. On June 18, 2007 Jones was sought by police for questioning after a shooting at an Atlanta strip club allegedly involved members of his entourage. According to police at the scene, Jones was not present during the shooting, and is not being charged.[37] On May 7, 2007, Jones was stopped at 12:45 a.m. on Interstate 65 heading into downtown after an officer clocked him on radar at 79 mph in a 55 mph zone. So, now that a little background has been established we can move forward to a few nights ago... Knowing that he is on his last leg, he went out to an event that would not be unlike a club, he drank (probably to the point of intoxication), got into an argument with a woman (no word on if he spit on her), and then got into a fight with the one person that was there specifically to keep him out of trouble. So yeah, I think that it is safe to assume that he has not learned a single thing from his past indescrestions. Until HE wants to change, it will not matter how many security gaurds Jerry puts around this guy. He will continue to attract/seek out trouble.

Cowboys ownership gave the OK for Jones to attend this function, so it must not have been that terrible by itself. We all know what he did prior to his suspension, he's been a huge shithead. Hearing he had a scuffle out of which no charges or injuries came is not enough to declare him maniac jones again.
Also, look at some of the charges you're citing, he speeds, has been drunk in public and argued with a valet???? I'm pretty sure I covered all three of those alone last friday night and I view myself as an upstanding citizen who was raised quite well. I'll admit, i'd rather jones stay the fuck home until his career is over, but I'm not ready to crusify him based on the altercation the other night on its own merit. Take a step back & realize this is a non story if not blown out of proportion utilizing his sordid past. There is no room for justice in winning football, because if there were the Pats would be down 2-3 rings at this point.

Agreed and I'll stop harping on the subject until such time that he does it again.
