I don't get all that bent out of shape when people disrespect cops anyway. I've meet plenty of them I wouldn't trust any further than I could throw them and have personally witnessed some brutal beatings by them. I've meet a few decent ones, but not as many as I have corrupt ones. I have personally witnessed cops riding shotgun for dope dealers so big deal if Jones doesn't hold them in high esteem. I don't either. 
On the other hand I would like to see how well (or not) our young corners play this season.

Adam Jones suspended one game by NFL

Apparently emboldened by the Sean Spicer news, the NFL is firing up the Friday news dump machine a little early today.

Bengals cornerback Adam Jones has been suspended one game by the league for violating the personal conduct policy, and has three days to appeal the decision.

Jones pleaded guilty to obstructing official business, after a January incident in which he spat on a jailhouse nurse (which sounds like a euphemism but isn’t in this case). This came after he blew up at reporters who had the nerve to ask him about the most interesting thing to happen to him this offseason.

In the league’s letter to Jones, they said the: “extensive video documentation of the tone, tenor and nature of your interactions with law enforcement at the site of your arrest, during transportation to the jail, and during the booking process. As you acknowledged, your post-arrest words and actions reflected poorly on you and your family, the Cincinnati Bengals football club, and the NFL. While it is our understanding that appropriate apologies have been publicly extended, they do not completely negate your behavior and admission of culpability for the underlying conduct.”

The Bengals have consistently stood by Jones for years, primarily because he’s good at football. And they’re deep enough in former first-rounders at the position to survive the opener against the Ravens without him.

The best thing he could do is keep his head down, his mouth shut, serve his (lenient) suspension, then come back and ball out. Here's hoping that happens, but I'm pretty sure he isn't going to do at least one of those things.

I guess that with Brown, we will never get to know. Spitting on another person isn't enough, would manslaughter be enough Mr. Brown or does it need to be murder 1? Welcome to the Jungle alright.

He wasn't very good last year and is getting up there in age.

This is based on his play alone.

Like i said, i wanted these younger talented guys to get more snaps, this could very well hamper that.

Me I'll go with what Zim said You can never have enough good corners. Even if he does like to drink and fight....Reminds me of one of my brothers I have to bail him out once or twice a year for drinking and fighting lol.
