    "Money," said Tony Douglas, Jones' youth football coach at Sandtown Park in southwest Atlanta. "It seems like it all stems from money. I mean, he had nothing growing up -- nothing -- and suddenly there's millions of dollars. I think it's been hard for him to handle."

    that pretty much hit it on the head.

    BS.
    He's had temper problems his whole life.
    His problem is not having too much money,
    His problem is having too few brain cells.

    He has no common sense. Sense not to do what keeps brining him grief.

    And I'm sure he was up late studying in High School, because no jock ever got passed along just for playing sports.
    And he has no degree, just some classes he got passed by in like basket weaving 101.

    All about $$$...

    He couldn't handle having some money.

    Those who say he has always been like this don't know what they are talking about. He didn't have an incident every month while in college. He attended enough classes and studied enough to stay elgible and even get good grades.

    Hoffa..

    It doesn't matter he was able to stay elgible for most of the games in his three years while there. The number of incidents were nothing like now.

    Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

    The boy was born without common sense,
    and is too dumb to know how to manage life without financial worries.

    Dumb>some money>some problems
    Dumb>lots of money>lots of problems

    Do the math...

    "It comes down to common sense, and Adam Jones has common sense. I think part of it is that the crowd he keeps might be trying to prove themselves to Pacman by doing dumb things.

    At the same time, Pacman is very loyal and he's probably trying to prove to his friends that the money hasn't changed him. That combination has gotten him in trouble."

    IMO- that is the crux of his issues.
