Pacman suspended for entire 2007 season!

If anyone saw that "interview" Pacman had with Deion Sanders they would figure out quite quickly that this guy isn't going to mature in time to still play in the NFL. He had no regret just thought he was being blamed for hanging out with the wrong people.

So I am sure that you saw the "never seen a grown man shave" quote about 10 times.

I know the NFL isn't responsible per se for them, but how are Jones and Henry going to be better people overall if they don't have the structure of football. I realize neither was a saint to begin with, but I fear it getting much worse before it gets better (if it ever does). In a way it reminds me of Mike Tyson.

It very well could get alot worse. Not the NFL's problem, these are grown men that are being held accountable for there own actions, one bad choice after another. It's all self inflicted, no one to blame but themeselves. They are getting exactly what they deserve. TANKS NEXT!

It was pacman that said after the florida game rumble, and i quote" we need more thugs like that on the team" refering to the head stomping and sucker punches thrown during that fight. All I have to say is, what a piece of shit and a waste of flesh he is. Im GLAD Gibbs did not draft this moron. I personally think he should be made the ultimate example and be banned for life. We dont need this kind of element in the nfl. And I dont feel sorry for him in the least. Lots and I mean lots of young men grow up in 'rough' neighborhoods with no father and yada yada yada, and they do just fine. So again I say the punishment is great and sets a excellent example for current and future players, but I still wish it was a lifetime ban.

It is "their" league, whatever that really means. The NFL is nothing without the players and fans who love to watch the most exiting sport in the world. Who would really watch a league with subpar performers but stand up citizens in the community? Granted in a perfect world the NFL gets both. Just seems like all of a sudden a new commissioner is trying to make a name for himself when nobody gives a shit about him. I'd rather see Pacman on sportscenter running for a 90 yard touchdown.....that's just me though. I understand everyone else's opinion and can't argue for a guy like Pacman too hard. Just hate the Uncle Sam approach of the NFL lately.


With all this ungrateful piece of trash has done off the football field, your saying left up to you he would still be making the highlight reel regardless of his actions......?!
Im really glad you have nothing to do with the nfl. And a 'uncle sam approach'?. again Im dumbfounded. what does that mean, really?

This is the Article from Redskins.com while most of you probably read it, few actually paid attention to what it said. THE ADVISORY BOARD WAS APPOINTED BY NFLPA AND TROY VINCENT IS PRESIDENT OF NFLPA, AND SITS ON THE DAMN ADVISORY COUNSEL. So the NFLPA is on the same side as Goodell. The counsel supported this decision.


Thrash is part of the new NFL Player Advisory Council to advise NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on issues affecting players.

The six-member council also includes former Redskins safety Troy Vincent, who is currently president of the NFL Players Association (NFLPA). The others include safety Donovin Darius of the Jaguars, fullback Tony Richardson of the Vikings, center Jeff Saturday of the Colts and linebacker Takeo Spikes of the Eagles.

The council was appointed by the NFLPA.

Yupp, and the last point you made is right on. I don't know if he will reach a high level for a while. Also the NFL has to think about the kids that stay up and watch games. Pacman is an appealing player to them because of swagger and hey his name is catchy.

He is just an idiot on so many levels. He makes T.O. seem like a saint.I agree.

The NFL would seem like a much safer place if the media would stop villifing everything T.O. does. Owens doesn't engage in criminal behavior, and he's a hard worker. He's a bit overrated as a player, and he's an idiot that handles situations in the worst possible way, but I'm guessing that there's a lot of guys across the league who do that. The difference is everything T.O. does is now a really important occurence, and he ends up getting villified for saying stupid things things when there are people in the league like Pac Man and Henry and Tank Johnson who are actually doing stupid things.

I think the perception of the fans are getting these lines blurred nowadays. Terrell Owens isn't a criminal. Randy Moss isn't a criminal. But because of the mass media coverage on them, the league develops a bad rep when guys like Chris Henry and Pac Man Jones actually do stuff wrong.

Here' (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/10119182)s an article for anyone who wants to read about the new Personal Conduct Policy.

This will hurt were it really counts:

Yes. I would leave him on the field. If he commited a crime and was convicted then the legal system may keep him off the field. What if you were charged with a crime and before you were convicted your employer fired you? Fair?

I love it. I love the fact that the little bitch got what he deserved.
