Pacman Suspended for 2007 Season

by ElectricScissors on Apr 10, 2007 12:23 PM CDT

"NFL commissioner Roger Goodell handed out the first suspensions under his discipline policy, banning Adam "Pacman" Jones for the entire 2007 season and Chris Henry for eight regular-season games.

The two players are 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.

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

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

just the way it is but not now..

Goodell has made his mark. and critics of tagliabue say he's a coward for overlooking issues like this which may be a factor why he wasn't nominated for the Hall..
