open letter in a full page ad yeh that will do it

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Suspended Tennessee Titans cornerback Adam "Pac-Man'' Jones bought a full-page newspaper advertisement to print an open letter in which he promised to regain trust and respect of his team and fans.

In the advertisement in the sports section of today's editions of The Tennessean -- Nashville's daily newspaper -- Jones told his family, his coaches, his teammates and Titans fans he must reorganize his priorities.

"In the past few weeks, I have learned a lifetime of lessons,'' the letter says.

Jones writes of hoping to not only meet, but to exceed the expectations people have of him.

"The first step in meeting these goals is for me to stop making the poor choices that have put me in this position,'' the letter reads.

Jones is appealing his season-long suspension and thinks NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made him the league's poster boy for disciplining players. Cincinnati receiver Chris Henry, a teammate of Jones at West Virginia, also was suspended. But Henry received an eight-game ban.

In his letter, Jones wrote that his attorneys advised him to appeal the suspension to "clarify some of the facts and address the unprecedented punishment that was imposed.''

Jones also said he plans to re-enroll at West Virginia University and finish his degree.

Jones, the sixth pick overall in the 2005 draft and the first defensive player taken that year, has talked with police 10 times since being drafted, and arrested five times. He has not been convicted of any charge since being drafted.

But Las Vegas police want to charge Jones for inciting a strip club fight Feb. 19 that led to a triple shooting. Jones also did not inform the Titans of two arrests in Georgia last year, and a felony obstruction charge for allegedly biting a Fayetteville, Ga., police officer was delayed until May.

Titans owner Bud Adams has said team officials weren't sure they want Jones back unless he changes his behavior and avoids controversy off the field.
