He who we do not speak of

Now that “the punk” has been reinstated in Dallas what does that mean to us in terms of next year's draft? I've researched this but can't seem to find the answer. According to the terms of the trade the Titans receive a 4th rounder in the 08 draft and a sixth rounder in 09. The Cowboys would get a 4th rounder in 09 if "the punk" wasn't reinstated in 08 (which he was) or a 5th rounder in 09 if he returns and is then punished again. However, what isn't mentioned is what constitutes "returns and is then punished again". Does that mean if he is suspended for the year, just a few games, etc? Granted he has been out 4 games and likely 5 by the time he starts again but he is still with the team and will likely finish the year if the double J can hire some bodyguards who can keep their mouths shut.

At any rate, I'd hoped to shed some light on this subject but short of being granted access to the NFLPA's files I doubt I can do so. We can only hope that Jim Wyatt or Paulie K will write on this.

I've sent Paulie an email so hopefully we'll get resolution soon.

He'll get suspended again

Don’t worry

I'm pretty sure that the Titans owe a 5th round pick now, regardless.

And I agree with gramsey. He’ll be suspended again for sure.

I hope he doesn't actually

He did it once and that proved our point. I hope he stays straight until the end of the year and waits until next year to screw up again. I’d really like to keep that draft pick.

The PAIN TRAIN is comin baby!

How does this hack keep getting chances?

He’s been suspended for something like 24 of his last 28 possible games, and for those who didn’t watch him earlier in the year: HE SUCKS. He still racks up P.I. penalties and treats them like parking tickets, still gets torched on double moves and is the first to start yelling at someone else in the secondary after he gets beat for 6.

Heck of a kick returner though.

Where I was raised 2 + 2 = 3rd and 6.
