Its is the Mike Tyson scenario. When you give a very young man a lot of money, power, and NO GUIDANCE in the right direction. Guidance is an important thing for some people and I'm sure he could have used some in college or high school. Unfortunatley he seems like a habitual police magnet and it may be a little too late for him. He will have to overcome a lot of change.

I back the commisioners decision and I think Adam Jones has to be responsible for his own actions. I just hope he can turn himself around, learn from his mistakes, and get back into the league. As a defender he is great and just the right person for the job. You want guys on defense that are scary and chew on metal in the locker room. But you want these guys to able to turn off the aggresion, off the field, and in the community.
