I couldn't be happier! This idiot still goes out to the bars all over Nashville acting like a thug. He has hired armed security police officers to hang out with him when he goes out in public.
Pacman Out for the Year!!

NFL suspends Pacman Jones, Bengals' Henry
(April 10, 2007) -- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has informed Adam Jones of the Tennessee Titans and Chris Henry of the Cincinnati Bengals that they have been suspended without pay for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy and engaging in conduct detrimental to the league on numerous occasions, the NFL announced today.
Jones was suspended for the 2007 season, while Henry was suspended for the first eight games of the 2007 regular season. Each player must earn the right to be reinstated.
"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."
In a letter to each player, Commissioner 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 will be strictly monitored by the Titans and the NFL during the suspension as part of his opportunity to earn reinstatement through adherence to a set of conditions. His status will be reviewed after the Titans' 10th regular-season game to determine the extent to which he has complied with the conditions and whether the suspension should be affected by the disposition of any pending or prospective charges.
The specific conditions that apply to Jones' suspension include the following:
He must have no further adverse involvement with law enforcement.
He must fully cooperate with all required counseling, education, and treatment assigned under league or court-ordered programs.
He must adhere to the restrictions on his activities 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 organized workouts during the term of the suspension. Beginning June 1, he must visit the team facility once each 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 similar activities.
In conjunction with the team's player development director and other professionals working with him, Jones must develop with the Titans a structured program of community service or other activity. This program must be submitted to the league office for review and approval.
Henry will be reinstated after the Bengals' eighth regular-season game if he meets certain conditions during his suspension that will be monitored closely by the Bengals and the NFL. Those conditions include the following:
He must have no further adverse involvement with law enforcement.
He must fully cooperate with all required counseling, education, and treatment assigned to him under league programs.
He is eligible to be at the Bengals' facilities during the rest of the offseason for customary activities and he must meet weekly with the team's player development director.
If he fully complies with all other conditions, he may participate in the Bengals' training camp and preseason games.
During the regular season, he is permitted to be at the Bengals' facility for team meetings and 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.
Jones and Henry were told that any failure to comply with these conditions will result in additional discipline, including possible banishment from the league.
"I must emphasize to you that this is your last opportunity to salvage your NFL career," Commissioner Goodell wrote to Jones and Henry. "I urge you to take full advantage of the resources available to support you in that effort."

It wouldn't surprise me to see Jones never play football again. He already said in an interview once that he would rather be hanging out with his boys than playing football. Looks like he may get his chance.
this guys going to end up dead... with no football and just partying or whatever hes going to do, theres no way this ends well. It will be interesting if it does happen due to the suspension. Im not saying it couldn't happen if he was playing this year, but the chance just greatly increased of causing a problem with the wrong dudes.
Was thinking the same thing. I don't think there is any way he could adhear to the conditions they set for him.
What a waste of talent and money for the Titans! Their gonna have to waste a draft pick on a cornerback now.
Obviously he won't be paid this year, but will the Titans get any of his signing bonus back? Was also wondering if his salary still counts against the cap this year?
I don't think they get any of his bonus back but his salary shouldn't count since he won't be drawing a paycheck.
Next up, hoping Vegas files charges on this clown. Just because he wanted to take 90,000 into a strip club and "make it rain," now a man will never walk again.

Ronnie is right, this is one unbelievably talented players and has the brains of an animal cracker. He is pure thug and unlike Allen Iverson, has never been able to cut loose his boys. You should hear some of the tapes played on the news of his boys talking about they got to get himoff the crack and the smoke. Pac himself has been quoted he cannot live with out smoke. But the worst part is the lack of respect he gives any other humans. TWICE arrested for spitting on women. Got what he deserved, hurt my Titans, just hope this is a wake up call but seriously doubt it.
Ronnie, where are you now?
Ronnie, where are you now?
Just wanted to float this, and I know, I know, bad place to do so, but...
It's sad that the NFL has to step in. Mainly because they know in a court of law nothing sticks to these mooks.
I think it's interesting how this played out, and I wonder if the other leagues will follow suit. One could argue the Ron Artest thing would be one example, but honestly I think that could be debated as a quite unique situation. Steve Howe, reinstated 1000 times, Jailblazers in the NBA, the whole gambling thing w/Gretzky's wife, etc. Would Tagliabue have done this?
Here's the real point, and this is what made me question Gooddel's motive...They do this to look good in the court of public opinion, yet the NFL has, and probably always will turn a blind eye to gambling. We're talking 1 idiot over millions....errr billions of dollars...Like I said, not a real popular place to say this I don't think, and I definitely sound the hypocrite also by bringing this up here, and then posting my plays haha, but still....I guess the NFL didn't have any bad PR in regards to betting, but with all the recent legistlation and the shutting down of online shops, who knows....

Amen, almost like watching prison football. The clowns that can't stay out of trouble need banned....:com:
