I'm listening to a bit of it on lunch...
Pisses me off to no end that this is literally 3 hours more than he has spent talking to the fans he screwed mercilessly over the past year and a half, yet he's calling himself a man.
Even his lawyer doens't have a khutzpah to appear on Nashville radio (which is a non-confrontational/shocking as it gets) for more than 30 minutes.
But hey Beans et al., lets get him back in a Titans uniform!

Chutzpah is spelled with a 'C'...
I can't think of any other legally sanctioned place where you can spend so much time with so many attractive naked women.

There's certainly nothing wrong with
I mean, if I got in trouble with the cops 4 times in one year while at Wal-Mart, I'd quit going to Wal-Mart. If someone had gotten 4 DUIs, you'd expect them to quit driving drunk. If someone had gotten 4 assault charged you'd expect Fulmer to give him another shot! (sorry UT fans, couldn't resist)
Not repeating the same mistakes is kinda basic of human behavior.
As for the khutzpah vs. chutzpah, I'll apologize to the yiddish spelling police next time i see 'em.

That is not 'cause and effect'...
If you always got in trouble at Wal-Mart, that does not infer causality. If you always happened to get violent in Wal-Mart, the solution is to stop being violent... not to 'stop going to Wal-Mart'.
August, would you really dig in your heels on your argument? You are correct to imply that not driving drunk is the solution to not getting DUI convictions... 'Not driving' on the other hand would not get at the root of the problem.
The league has no business telling anyone to stay away from strip clubs (someone please clarify...was he actually banned from strip clubs???). That type of restriction is clearly some sort of judgment on morality that no human being has any right to make on another.
The league can and should encourage people not to commit crimes. If Pac decides to go to a strip club and not cause trouble, that's his own business. Last time I checked, that's known as 'freedom', and Goodell has no right to cheat people out of it.

Nah,
All he's done is not go to jail again. I'm guessing you realize that a lack of negative is not in and of itself a positive.
Where's his meal culpa to the fans in Nashville? Where's his charity work? Where's his community work outside of picking-up trash in an orange jumpsuit to fulfill court-ordered community service?
You have to realize that, like it of not, playing in the NFL is a privilege. They can ban players for conduct determined to be 'detrimental to the league'. Other opportunities exist for him to make a living playing football (AFL, CFL, AFL2), thus they are not denying him the ability to make a livelihood.
This will be the last thing I say about Pac until his future is decided: if you want your boyfriend to keep hitting you, then it ain't my problem anymore, honey.

One small point, August
First off, the CFL, after the heat they caught for signing Ricky Williams, no longer allows NFL players currently serving a suspension to play in their league. And I believe the AFL has a similar policy.
And beyond that, the Titans have certain rights in his contract to try to prevent him from getting injured in non-NFL activities. I don't know exactly how the contract is worded, but this is the part of the contract the Titans exercised to prevent #32 from becoming a pro wrestler; it's also the part the Dolphins had to waive when Ricky Williams wanted to play in the CFL. It's pretty standard in NFL player contracts. I'm sure it could be used, if the Titans wished, to prevent him from playing in any other football league or any other pro sport, for as long as he is under contract.

about NFL contracts
Is their non-compete clause that air-tight?
It's my understanding that those clauses could be used to nullify his contract, (thus the Titans would pay no more money), but not actually "prevent him from playing in any other football league."
I think any player can leave/retire from the NFL and play for any leauge at any time given they will walk away from that contract; whether that league will take him is outside of the NFL's hands.

You're right...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Pac then promised he wouldn't go to a strip club for the next 3-4 years.

not to go all paul harvey on ya....
However, on February 26, 2006 combine officials said the reported score of six was incorrect. According to NFL Spokesman Steve Alic, *"I can tell you absolutely that the score that has been reported on the Internet is inaccurate. I spoke to the person who graded the test, and he assured me that that number was not correct."
The next day, the test was **properly* readministered and Young scored a sixteen...
And that, my friends, is the rest of the story.

I've been
I've had this argument way too many times. I've even gone to the extent of looking up every successful and non-successful QB and posting their wonderlics. The wonderlic is the least important grading tool when evaluating a QB. Just ask the 49ers about Alex Smith and his wonderlic.
