A day after being released from the Dallas Cowboys, [url=javascript:fantasyPopup('nfl', 7182)]Adam Jones[/url] is denying an ESPN report that he arranged for someone to shoot at three men outside an Atlanta nightclub. And he's planning to sue the network, the Dallas Morning News reports.
"It will be a lawsuit in a week against ESPN," Jones told the newspaper. "That's stupid. It's so stupid I have no more comments.
ProFootballTalk.com's Mike Florio, who is a Sporting News contributor, says even if Jones were to win a lawsuit alleging defamation, he wouldn't be awarded much. That's because plaintiff's damages in defamation suits are based on "the injury to his pre-existing reputation." As Florio writes, "In this case, the plaintiff's pre-existing reputation could not be much worse."
