Sadly, Adam Jones is in the news again for another shooting. Watch the ESPN Outside the Lines video below and leave your thoughts.
And here is Adam Jones' "response".
Even if he is completely innocent, we all know that avoiding the appearance of evil is the best policy. Why put yourself in a situation that comprises your image? LAY LOW! Don't go to Atlanta when you are on suspension from the NFL. You know we have great strip clubs. Why tempt yourself? This is why we need to educate folks. It seems to me that Adam Jones is having a hard time keeping away from bad folks. We know that "Slugga" Morris has allegedly extorted money from Jones in the Las Vegas situation. Even if Adam Jones isn't his friend or associated with him in any way, why would he not immediately leave the club if "Slugga" was present? Why go to "Slugga's" stomping grounds? Morris is part of the notorious International Robbing Crew (out of New Orleans and based in Atlanta).
Adam Jones admits to being an alcoholic and claims to attend AA meetings regularly. He also admits he has done wrong. However, if you are already under scrutiny for violence at a strip club, then why don't you stay home. Call a few of your boys, hire some private strippers (saves money in the long run), and party the night away. There will be no threat of violence and no trouble with the NFL.
Adam Jones, I hope you continue to get your act together and surround yourself with positive influences. And STAY OUT OF STRIP CLUBS!!! Please, for your own sake.
Cricket deserved better.

I feel that this is a sad twist in an already depressing story. Who you hang with and where you hang has a HUGE bearing on how you are perceived (right or wrong) and treated in this world. I think its important that other young people learn from his mistakes.
