ROCCEO Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Not surprising, but it could be the worst thing for him. Hard to say with a guy like that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about time that these idiots are put in their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 wow! Much tougher than I expected....Roger is proving to be a no nonsense commish who abides by his word. That's what I would expect from a guy with WNY roots. Godell for President...I guess that would be a step down from NFL commish.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 WR Chris Henry for 8 games, DB Pac-Man Jones for the season. Just heard it on my radio. No paycheck during a suspension... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACor58 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 This sets an important precedent. The media would have hammered the Titans if they did not cut him, even though 20 other teams would have been waiting to sign him. Anyone want to take any bets as to how many times Pacman is arrested now that he isn't "preoccupied" by football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Real Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Goodell is proving to be a very good Commissioner. He has to improve the image of the NFL. Idiots like Pacman, Henry and Lionel Gates should be B!tch slapped right out of the league if they can't act like civilized adults. He's been strict and laid down the law so that the players know they can't act ridiculous. These players can now choose their own fate. I'm also impressed that he created a 6 player panel to keep him in touch with the players. Smart move to keep himself in place with what the players think. Seems to be a smart guy.

Beerball Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 It will be interesting to see how Henry and Jones react, but I'm really interested in the NFLPA. Do they accept this? Mildly object and ask for a hearing? Strongly object and bring due process into the conversation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Good, maybe this will help clean up some of their acts. Here's the ESPN report: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2832015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mildly object and ask for a hearing? Strongly object and bring due process into the conversation? Dunno. With Henry being in the gunsights, there was a fair amount of local n'paper coverage here. The idea of this being retroactive was bandied about. Wait 'n see, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 Wide Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I like this part the best: "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." These boys have been coddled since the time coaches discovered they were better than everyone else. Goodell is directly attacking their perceived sense of entitlement. Truth is, Pacman and Henry need to realize they didn't make the NFL, the NFL made them. If there was no league, they would be just another pair of guys who could run fast. I love this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
