is the players union getting in some sort of line? i didn't think so. it should be "cue" particularly because cue the ______ is a commonly used phrase.

That's why you hand out a two season suspensions if you really want a one season suspension.

4/10/2007 2:29:52 PM

damn, this is bothering y'all huh...... but, I did not use the wrong word, sorry to disappoint.

^yeah, there is no precedent for that harsh a penalty, plus, its entirely possible that he will come away from this with no convictions.....if that's so, the PU will probably get it greatly reduced, or maybe eliminated.

wlb420, although I'm pretty sure you meant "cue" and are now trying to claim you meant "queue" all along, I'll play along with you. No one would say "queue" the union. It'd be like saying "line the union." Either "queue up the union" or "cue the union" would make sense, but not what you said.

Anyway, I don't care about Pacman, but I hate this for Chris. The kid could have been a superstar in this league. (I guess he still could). I'm not surprised by 8 games though.

4/10/2007 2:43:58 PM

i believe gene upshaw has gone on the record saying that he supports any suspension the commisioners office hands out

so dont be expecting a lesser suspension

4/10/2007 2:44:12 PM

^^ Chris coulda been a superstar? He is good and all but I think pacman has a bigger potential of being the superstar. He had 4 tds last season and he plays defense

4/10/2007 2:48:24 PM

Well obviously Pacman is talented too, but I had already written him off as having screwed up his career beyond repair. Chris has probably screwed up his career beyond repair too, but I'm a Bengals fan.

4/10/2007 2:54:26 PM

so I'm curious to see if there will be some sort of blanket policy implemented now?

I know there is a detrimental to the team clause used by individual teams to justify a suspension, will there now be a "conduct detrimental to the League" policy implemented......essentially that's what these suspensions are, right?

Yea, something along the lines of "If you get arrested 5 times in an 18 month span, you get a year off."

4/10/2007 3:14:39 PM

^but he's yet to be convicted of anything, so in the eyes of the law, he didn't do anything

don't get me wrong I think the suspension is justified, but I could also see this getting out of control down the road.

He may have said this but he cant go on record as supporting a suspension that takes a player out for a whole season WITHOUT BEING CONVICTED OF ANY CRIMES

Chris Henry is probably SOL tho...

[Edited on April 10, 2007 at 3:24 PM. Reason : Henry]

4/10/2007 3:24:15 PM

anyone else can be fired from their job for acting like a thug on their own time

4/10/2007 3:29:30 PM

my point is that individual teams traditionally handled most of the run ins with the law. It's almost the individual teams' fault imo.....you've got teams like the titans and bengals who aren't really punishing these players for off the field problems. if the titans would've stepped up and slapped a 3 or 4 game suspension on him, the league probably wouldn't have interfered

I have no problem with this ruling...but it will not stand. No way the players & the players union are going to allow this to stand. But let me reiterate-I like the ruling, there needs to be a change in how professional athletes act in public....

" The following are incidents in which Adam "Pacman" Jones, or people allegedly associated with him, have been involved since the Tennessee Titans drafted him in April 2005. There is only one charge pending against Jones. July 13, 2005: Two weeks before training camp is scheduled to begin, Jones is arrested by Nashville police at Titans headquarters. He is charged with assault and felony vandalism stemming from a nightclub altercation. Sept. 5, 2005: Six days before the season opener at Pittsburgh, Jones attends the annual Nashville Sports Council Kickoff Luncheon. Later, Jones has a loud, verbal tantrum when told he must wait in line for his vehicle, according to witnesses. He does not pay for valet service. Oct. 25, 2005: Five days before the eighth game of the season, it is alleged by the state of West Virginia that Jones has violated the terms of his probation, going back to a suspended sentence after a barroom brawl during his freshman year at college. A judge extends his probation 90 days. Feb. 6, 2006: Jones is arrested in Fayetteville, Ga., and charged with possession of marijuana. He is handcuffed after throwing a punch at an officer, according to police, and charged with a felony count of obstruction and two misdemeanors of obstructing police. The drug charge is dismissed in January 2007, although his mother Deborah and a friend, Marcus Bowens, are convicted of possession of marijuana. Jones will appear in court later this month to face the obstruction charges. March 23, 2006: A Fayette County drug task force SWAT team serves a search warrant at the Georgia home Jones bought for his mother. When Jones steps out of his Corvette, a drug investigator notices that the car reeks of marijuana. Jones admits to police he has been smoking and that it will be several weeks before he is able to pass a drug test. April 18, 2006: According to Nashville police, who cite surveillance camera footage, Jones is one of 12 people gathered at a gas station when a fight breaks out and gunshots are fired. Aug. 25, 2006: Jones is arrested in Murfreesboro, Tenn., for disorderly conduct and public intoxication. At the Sweetwater Saloon, he is accused of assault by Toya Garth, who says Jones spit in her face and she spit back. A judge sentences Jones six months probation provided he stays out of further trouble. Oct. 26, 2006: Jones is cited for misdemeanor assault at Club Mystic, a Nashville nightclub, where he allegedly spits in the face of a female college student. He is suspended for one game by the Titans, on Nov. 5 at Jacksonville. Feb. 19, 2007: Jones is present when an early morning brawl breaks out at Minxx Gentlemen's Club in Las Vegas. Three people are shot. Club co-owner Robert Susnar claims the shooter -- still at large -- acted on Jones' behalf. Jones denies this. No charges have been brought against Jones. "
