NFL commissioner Roger Goodell handed out the first suspensions under his discipline policy, banning Adam "Pacman" Jones for the entire 2007 season and Chris Henry for eight regular-season games.
I was just coming here to post this. :)Quote:

and LOL at Pacman he deserves every day of his suspension.
edit: From the article;
Jones' suspension carries the following conditions:
• He must have no more run-ins with law enforcement.
good luck with that. I wouldnt be surprised if he never gets to play in the NFL again.
Not only a starting corner. We're talking about one of the best in the league. We're also talking about one of the best return men in the league. We're also talking about a top 10 draft pick. What a waste.Quote:

Because until now, there were no repercussions. Most of the 10 run ins with the law that everybody keeps talking about were just interviews in the first place. No matter what happened, he still got his paychecks, he still got to play, and a bunch of media people that he's probably never met talked bad about him. He got to do whatever he wanted with little to no repercussions. Not that I personally would do the things he's done, and not that I don't think he does bad things that he shouldn't do, but it's easy to see why he kept his lifestyle.Quote:

I just saw that we signed Brad Johnson... wooo, our second old washed up ex-superbowl QB backup.
Do not even begin to comare being a Cowboys fan to being a Lions fan.Quote:

1 season isn't enough for pacman... compared to his behavior thats a wrist slap.
A full year and over a million dollars is a pretty big punishment for somebody that hasn't really been convicted of anything recently. Iirc, He's just been "interviewed" by the police a lot, and hasn't actually been busted for anything since early college.Quote:

Obviously he hasn't learned anything, and if this suspension doesn't make him understand then he's hopeless.Quote:

He'll be made an example of. The NFL is a huge and well run business, the old men don't want the talent tarnishing the show.
And as stated before, he basically can't have another incident or he's done. So in a nutshell... he's done.
