Quote:OAKLAND, Calif. -- Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones told ESPN after Sunday's season opener against the Oakland Raiders that he wasn't expecting a punishment to come following his involvement in a controversial play that featured offsetting penalties.

Asked if he anticipated a fine or suspension, he simply replied: "No."

Jones was part of a second-quarter fracas in the Bengals' 33-13 win that involved Raiders offensive tackle Austin Howard.

At the end of a 60-yard run that was going to be called back anyway for a holding penalty, the two were issued personal foul penalties that were the result of a couple of end-of-play altercations.

Although officials clearly missed it, cameras caught Jones on top of Raiders receiver Amari Cooper, slapping at Cooper's helmet hard enough that it came off.

As soon as it did, Jones grabbed Cooper's head and slammed it once into the helmet while Cooper was on his back underneath the veteran corner.

"Whatever you saw happen, that's what happened," Jones said. "I'm just here to play football. I don't back down from anybody and I'm not out here trying to start anything. I'm just out here playing football."

Former NFL vice president of officiating and current Fox Sports analyst Mike Pereira tweeted that Jones should have been thrown out of the game.

Jones spoke to reporters about the incident Wednesday morning and announced he'll appeal, as relayed by Jeremy Rauch of Cincinnati's Fox19:

He literally has not replied to you in, I don't know how long.  He has put you on ignore and you still need him inside you.  You're like that crazy ex-girlfriend that just can't get over the fact that Pat just doesn't want to bump uglies with you anymore, but you gotta keep pulling your pants down every time you see him somewhere, hoping he'll remember how good that lover cavern was, and he just walks on by without even mentioning how rank something smells. 


Like that crazy ex-girlfriend, it's driving you even crazier.

Off the field?  Hitting the woman who poured a beer on his head?

Like I said, short fuse and a temper.  Other than that, when was his last incident?  2009?

Furthermore, this was retaliation, so what does his past have to do with that?

That is a shitty thing to do. Maybe if this was an isolated indecent it would be okay, but Pacman has never been a good person. Sure he had a small window where he was "changed" and everything, but then he hit a woman in the face and severely overreacted Sunday.

Everything on and off the field combined for the last decade, including Sunday, make him a POS. It's really not hard to see. Well, unless you're a homer.

But he is good at football and generally doesn't cost the team too much so weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I don't know how you can expect your posts to be taken seriously when you exaggerate to unimaginable levels.  Cooper didn't even realize his head had hit the helmet, so how's that "mashing"?  

Would AJ ever jab someone in the throat?  No, so invalid question.

Would I be pissed if someone on another team did it to my guy? Yup. But cooper isnt on my team. On top of that, the suggs analogy is a bad one. Suggs went after a surgically repaired knee....and karma took care of him. Jones retaliated to a rookie who was perfectly healthy and who dished out his own shots first. If Jones deserves it, karma will take care of him. We shall see.

Pacman attacked someone for briefly shoving his face.
