Actually, whether or not the penalites for pot possession are light depends on where you are. In my state, first offense of <15 grams of pot is automatic probation. After that, first "freebie" a simple possession charge is not less than 90 days, no more than 6 months in jail regardless if its pot, coke, whatever. If you throw in an intent to deliver, now we have a felony. So, whether or not pot is penalized depends on your jurisdicition, but there are people that do time for possession. Dmek, the gun would come into evidence. |

Re: Pacman suspended for entire 2007 season!
I'm not going to try to defend anything Pacman Jones has done. However, I think his conduct is an indictment of the way young athletes are treated throughout their lives. Pacman's problems are not new...he was getting into trouble at WVU. Everyone knew it then, he has a problem. He can't stay outta trouble. No one ever did anything about it at West Virginia, all they did was enable him. All so they could make their millions of dollars by exploiting their players, but that's another topic. Pacman had trouble with the law at WVU and everyone around the university did everything they could to keep him on the field so they could make money. All he's ever learned is that as long as he performs on the field, his problems will go away off of it. As much as he made his own decisions, I feel sorry for a lot of the kids who grow up without the advantages most of the people judging them have enjoyed. Especially since, if they didn't have a father, the only males they really see are their coaches and they're too busy trying to figure out how to keep him on the field, rather than out of trouble. It's a little disturbing. I'm not condoning any of Pacman's actions, but I think there's a problem with this society, just as much as with him.
Another thought, Henry and Jones were both disciplinary problems in college. They also went to the same college, West Virginia. Why isn't Rich Rodriguez held accountable in any way? He did nothing about this when they were there. Where the hell was he? He just made sure they kept making the university money by taking them to a bowl game, it's bullshit. Somehow, I don't think taking a troubled kid and making him a millionaire is the best way to solve people's problems. People should have seen this coming. I feel sorry for Pacman Jones. |

Regardless, killing brain cells should be a personal choice.

Re: Pacman suspended for entire 2007 season!
If Sean Taylor got suspended for 1 year by the NFL would we be happy?
Pacman is a thug but hasn't been convicted of any crime, yet? Suspension is a political one for the media. Total Bullshit and way too long! What about Jamal Lewis? Why didn't the NFL suspend him? Herb should be legal though.......that's not bullshit! |

Re: Pacman suspended for entire 2007 season!
What does a conviction have to do with anything? He makes the league look bad by getting in all this trouble. To rely on our justice system to create the proper scenario where he can be suspended is naive. He has behaved very badly and should be punished for it whether he gets off legally or not.
A good example: He had marijuana possession charges dropped because his mom magically claimed it was all hers. Even though the stuff was in his bedroom in his house. So because he didn't get convicted for this he shouldn't be punished by the league? The legal system in this country is far too faulty and often far too permissive to use it as anything more than part of the equation. |

It sets a dangerous standard of suspension. What is obviously bad PR for the league can change depending on how the NFL interprets those actions. No legal conviction is required so its based on the NFL's opinion. Don't think that Paul Tagli would have handed out such harsh punishments. |

Re: Pacman suspended for entire 2007 season!
the thing about pacman is even if the union fights this and gets the suspension shortened, the Titans can suspend him based on the fact he didn't disclose two arrests that happened in another state. So either way, he is done for the year. The titans suspension can not be challenged due to Pacman failure to disclose those arrests.
Henry on the other hand could get his shortened if the union fought it. I dont think they will though. They would get huge backlash from every direction if they did. Both of these idiots played at WVU (sorry to say I am a WVU guy at this point) so most of their issues were swept under the rug while they were in college. Both got into some trouble but never paid the price for it. Now they are learning their actions do have consequences. Good job commish!! |
