Game over for Pacman



NEW YORK (AP) - The NFL has handed down its punishment and Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones will sit out the 2007 season.

Roger Goodell has informed Jones that he's being suspended without pay for violating the league's personal conduct policy and engaging in conduct detrimental to the league. The league also announced Chris Henry of Cincinnati is suspended for eight games.
The commissioner made his decision after reviewing the cases under the NFL's previous personal conduct policy and his longstanding authority to discipline for conduct detrimental to the NFL.

MORE TO COME

Adam "Pacman" Jones of Tennessee was suspended Tuesday for the 2007 NFL season and Chris Henry of Cincinnati received an eight-game suspension -- both for numerous violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy.

The two players are suspended without pay, the NFL announced.

After they serve their suspensions, each player must apply for reinstatement.

"We must protect the integrity of the NFL," commissioner Roger 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."

In a letter to each player, Goodell wrote: "Your conduct has brought embarrassment and ridicule upon yourself, your club, and the NFL, and has damaged the reputation of players throughout the league. You have put in jeopardy an otherwise promising NFL career, and have risked both your own safety and the safety of others through your off-field actions. In each of these respects, you have engaged in conduct detrimental to the NFL and failed to live up to the standards expected of NFL players. Taken as a whole, this conduct warrants significant sanction."

Jones' off-field conduct has included 10 incidents where he was interviewed by police. The most recent took place in Las Vegas during the NBA All-Star weekend. Las Vegas police have recommended felony and misdemeanor charges against Jones after a fight and shooting at a strip club that paralyzed one man.

Henry was arrested four times in a 14-month span, resulting in two benchings by coach Marvin Lewis and a two-game league suspension. He was one of nine Bengals arrested in nine months.

Jones' suspension carries the following conditions:


• He must have no more run-in with law enforcement.

• He must comply with all required counseling, education, and treatment assigned by the NFL or the judicial system.

• He must obey the restrictions that have been agreed to by he and the Titans.


• He may not be at the Titans' facility through May 31 and may not participate in any practices or workouts during his suspension. Starting June 1, he must visit the team facility once per week to meet with the team's player development director. Also, beginning June 1, he is permitted to spend one day a week at the team facility for conditioning, film study, and other activities.

• In conjunction with the Titans, Jones must develop a structured program of community service or other activity. This program must be submitted to the NFL for approval.

Henry will be reinstated after the Bengals' eighth regular-season game if he meets the following conditions:

• He must have no more run-in with law enforcement.


• He must comply with all required counseling, education, and treatment assigned by the NFL or the judicial system.


• He is allowed to be at the Bengals' facilities during the rest of the offseason and he must meet weekly with the team's player development director.


• If he fully complies with all conditions, he may participate in the training camp and Bengals preseason games.


• During the 2007 season, he must meet weekly with the team's player development director, but he may not attend or participate in practice.


• He must fully comply with all conditions imposed on him by any court, including requirements of community service.

If Jones and Henry do not fully comply with these conditions, they could be permanently banished from the NFL.

"I must emphasize to you that this is your last opportunity to salvage your NFL career," Goodell wrote to the players. "I urge you to take full advantage of the resources available to support you in that effort."

if the league is serious about where they want player conduct to go, this was a ruling that had to be made.

Finally, NFL decides to do something a little more than a slap on the hands. I hope this incidents helps players realize that its a prvilege to play in the NFL and not a right.

FUCK YEA for the new commish!!!
