Mike Brown: Adam Jones 'made a fool of himself,' but ple

CIncinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown is fully in Adam Jones' corner.

"He knows full well what he has done to himself," Brown told Bengals.com and the Cincinnati Enquirer at the NFL owners' meetings Wednesday. "He regrets it. But it's been made into a public issue and maybe I am overly tolerant. If so, so be it."

Jones was arrested Jan. 3 on a felony charge of harassment with a bodily substance and misdemeanor charges of assault, disorderly conduct and obstructing official business. The Cincinnati prosecutor dropped the felony charge last week, and Jones' lawyer said he will plead not guilty to the remaining charges.
