What hasn't he done. LOL. I think he had a marijuana possession charge, an illegal gun-possession charge, a DUI and now providing liquor to a minor. All since December. I probably left something out. I also think he had some issues before going to the Bengals when he was in college.

2005

On July 13, 2005 Jones was arrested on charges of assault and felony vandalism stemming from a nightclub altercation.

On September 5, 2005 Jones was a guest at the annual Nashville Sports Council Kickoff Luncheon. After a loud verbal tantrum when he was told to wait in line for his vehicle later that evening, Jones was counseled by the police. He also refused to pay for any valet services used that evening.

In October 2005, in a petition filed by the State of West Virginia, it was alleged that Jones had not made regular and sufficient contact with his probation officer and that he did not report his July arrest in Nashville in a timely fashion. The court ordered the probation extended for a period of 90 days, although the state requested it to be extended one year.

2006

On August 25, 2006, Jones was arrested in Murfreesboro, Tennessee for disorderly conduct and public intoxication after claiming that a woman stole his wallet. She claimed that she did not steal anything and Jones spat on her. Police officers said they ordered Jones to leave several times, but he refused, continuing to shout profanities at the woman. A judge granted him six months probation on the conditions that he stays out of further trouble and away from the nightclub.

On October 26, 2006. Jones was cited for misdemeanor assault for allegedly spitting in the face of a female student from Tennessee State University during a private party at Club Mystic, a Nashville nightclub. He was suspended by the Titans for one game and was scheduled to be booked on the charge on November 17, 2006.

I don't know if Pacman was a PE major, but the kid isn't a dummy by no means, he carried a 3.2 GPA while he was in college, the funny thing though Pacman, and Chris Henry were teammates at West Virginia

NICE

Thanks for the partial list of "offenses". The TSU spitting incident was thrown out because of her changing her story. The probation violation issue was not an "offense" either.

Hey he did some wrong but it was not 10 "offenses".

This following quote spoke volumes.....

"We must protect the integrity of the NFL," Commissioner Goodell said. "The highest standards of conduct must be met by everyone in the NFL because it is a privilege to represent the NFL, not a right. These players, and all members of our league, have to make the right choices and decisions in their conduct on a consistent basis."

I don't see the problem...at some point these players need to face the consequences of their actions, convicted or not...black, white or other. OUR kids are watching. If some kid sees Pacman get away with his behavior that's all it's going to take for them to 'act a fool' and then say "well, it dont' matter what i do cuz i can still make the $$$ and play in the NFL...Pacman did it...". :smh: Then what we gon do? And ya'll know it's a kid somewhere out there who can be influenced in that way.

Pacman's behavior takes away from those who are acting responsible. Ok, yeah folks make mistakes, but really...how many chances should one get?
Whether these folks want to be role models are not, for some kids these players are all they have to look up to...sad, but true.

Not saying it is OK... a suspension of some sort was warranted...I don't agree with a full season but more along the lines of 8 games.

I am just saying if the media is going to report a number, make it an accurate number.
 
Re: Jones suspended for season!!!!

Jag-Tig,

I understand your intentions. But, I seriously doubt this decision will seriously impact (no matter the age) athletes with similar attitudes and behaviors such as Adam "Pacman" Jones.

Pac Man kept pushing the envelope. He also didn't report to his team a few other incidents in which he was investigated and it came to light after the Las Vegas incident. I think the fact that his name keeps coming up all the time did him in. He just didn't get off to a good start right after he got drafted and was kind of arrogant with his too. Plus we do not know what he said to the commish when got his office a few days ago. Maybe Henry sounded contrite hence his 8 game suspension and Pac Man didn't. Goodall may have gotten the sense that this dude needs the whole year to get his act together. I also got the feeling that the Titans did not go to bat for him either. There have been reports that Jeff Fisher has been pissed at him for a minute. Also factor in the guy that drafted him GM Floyd Reese is gone. Too bad, because he can play. He is a Pro Bowl Caliber corner.......
 
Re: Jones suspended for season!!!!

Let some cases pop up on your current job and see how fast you are shown the door. It's a job and you cannot continue to bring that mess to the job.
Say what you want but dude has to grow up and if this doesn't stop his shinnanigins(sp) then what will. I don't feel sorry one iota for the man.
Get some where and sit down. :uzi:
 
I don't agreee with the descision about PAC MAN JONES but don't just make him out of an example. The NFL is racist and the new owner is a racist and Pac Man don't deserve to be out an whole year. This crap has been going on for years in the NFL now they want to take action. NFL is white executives trying to run a black machine and Gene Upshaw is just a token pawn in the league.

You know Jafus, I think it will to a certain extent but you are right some cats will be hard headed anyway. I tell you what is about to happen......these teams are not going to draft another Pac Man Jones that high now that they know this commish will suspend you for a season. They already do their homework with backgrounds on these kids, now they will really be pushed not to draft a kid with questionable off the field history. Goodall took over the NFL at a good time with record revenue, no labor disputes, great marketing all because of the great job Tags did as commish and now he wants to make a name for himself to separate him from what Tags did. So I guess he is going to be the one to protect the league image commish. That will be his legacy. To not let the inmates run the asylum. The players union is already weak as hell so it will not be hard for the NFL to do what they want. I bet ole David Stern is watching closely. I wouldn't be shocked to see them get even tougher than the dress code rules they have.

Like DNice said and to quote those Andre Agassi commericals back in the day

IMAGE IS EVERYTHING..... too many corporate dollars at stake to let some young cats with an attitude ruin it for others. It should be interesting to see the next one try this new commish though. I guess he is going to have to ban somebody from the league to get their attention if this doesn't. Pete Rose send help.

Re: Don't make one man out of example in NFL

Racist my ass. It's about time some one put an end to this crap. :rolleyes:

Pac Man should be held accountable for his actions.

Maybe. But I blame the parents or lack of parenting. Too many are just as bad as the system that is eating up these kids. Most are just sitting back waiting on their star athlete child to rescue them from poverty and let them do whatever without teaching them right from wrong. Which doesn't cost a thing to teach. So they helped set up their child for America to eat up. Common sense is a mofo. All that Pac Man Jones needed was some of it and he would have been fine. The old folks used to call it "Mother wit"
