How the union handles this is goign to be interesting. There are a lot of players who are going to applaud this. I would guess a majority of them think it is pretty fair. The question is does the union appeal this just because they can and usually would. I hope not. I hope Upshaw comes out and says "We are diligent in the protection of our players and their rights but the players must be as diligent in the protection of the integrity of this game. Both of these players have betrayed the trust of their team, fellow players, union and league and we will let them be the example by which other players should take notice. Going forward I hope there is no need for such drastic suspensions as these players are clearly the exdeption and not the rule."

Hahaha Gotta love Prime Time's social commentary.
Yeah, I really love how he opens up his mental thesaurus and starts belting out these rhyming "fancy words" that he doesn't know how to use. He thinks he's smart, but he just sounds like a moron (like the guy in Sopranos).

I wonder how involved Goodell has gotten other players and the union in this decision. I know he has put together a committee of current players on this stuff. Our man James Thrash and former man Tory Vincent are two of maybe 8 or so guys who I guess will offer a player's perspective on stuff like this.

Was Pacman deserving of TWICE the punishment of Henry? Granted, Henry didn't make it rain, but he has still been busted what, like 7 times since coming in the league? They should have both gotten a year.
Anyone have any idea of the parameters of this new discipline policy? I.E. 2 arrests = a suspension...

The guy has been arrested like 6 times(or more) in less than two years.

Chris Henry has been arrested multiple times for the same types of offenses.
How many times do you have to touch a hot stove before you realize that you shouldn't touch it anymore?

to play devils advocate( i really think Jones deserves his punishment) what grounds does the NFL have for the suspension? there were no policies in place when all the thuggery had taken place
