I'm beginning to lose a lot of respect for Jamal Adams. Two weeks ago, he gets into it with an independent doctor who was assigned to evaluate him for a concussion. OK, I get it, he's been out of action for over a year then gets hurt on the first drive, so he has to be frustrated. Not that it's an excuse, but he was concussed, and sometimes there are behavioral changes that might not otherwise occur. The league considered disciplining him for his behavior and declined to take any action. And to Adams credit, he manned up and apologized, admitted he was wrong.
Two weeks later, and the very next game, Adams gets into it with another independent doctor assigned to evaluate players, and it didn't even involve him, rather it was Jake Bobo, who had just sustained a huge hit to his head:
This week the NFL fined Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams $50,000 after Adams, according to the league, "directed verbal remarks and made inappropriate physical contact" with a doctor in the bench area of Seattle's Week 6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, a league source tells CBS Sports.
In a letter to Adams this week, the league said Adams interfered with orderly administration of the game when the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant (UNC) was walking with Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo to the blue medical tent for evaluation of a concussion.
Bobo had just hauled in a 20-yard pass from Geno Smith when Bengals safety Dax Hill delivered a big hit on Bobo that resulted in a penalty. Bobo was removed from the game for an evaluation but would pass the check and return to the game.
A source tells CBS Sports there is video of the incident which the league reviewed before issuing the fine.
Sunday's incident came after a nationally televised incident earlier in the month on "Monday Night Football" on Oct. 2 when Adams yelled at another independent doctor on the sideline as he was taken for a concussion evaluation.

We need to hear Adams' side of the story, if he has one, before we can jump to any conclusions. But this situation is very concerning as it's a direct reflection on Pete.
Inappropriate physical contact with a caregiver? He's damn lucky he didn't receive a suspension.
