About the Author

BigPPup
AGM Linebacker and I will bring the pain.


I'm a sports fanatic. I hail from Nelson County Virginia, and thats where I learned to be a Virginia Cavalier fan. I also learned to be a Dallas Cowboys fan because I hated how good the Redskins were doing. I've played sports at almost every level with the exception of being a fulltime professional, as a result I have a great perception on the sporting world. I love to talk sports and I've never been shy to share my opinion with someone.

Adam 'Pacman' Suspended

Last week Adam Jones got into a fight with his own personal bodyguards that were hired for him by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Today, Roger Goodell suspended Adam Jones indefinitly. Jones was just reinstated into the league prior to the opening game after serving a one year suspension. There is not doubt it will be difficult for Adam Jones to come back after this suspension. Goodell has said he will consider reinstating Jones once he undergoes treatment for alcohol and receives progressive reports from doctors. The 2008 cannot get any worst for the Dallas Cowboys who are already missing two players in their secondary due to injury, now Jones will be gone at least four games. Add in Romo's broken pinkie and the Cowboys are looking at a long upward battle.

No charges, no foul as far as I am concerned. Goodell has lost all credibility with me.

YEah, kinda hard to argue with you there Steel. The law had nothing to do in this one, and as far as I'm concerned it was a fight between friends, who doesnt get drunk and fight their boys?

Comparing Matt Jones (1 arrest) to Adam Jones who's been arrested several times, is a bit unfair, don't you think?

And, let's keep in mind that Jones was not arrested and charged for this incident.

But he violated the league's personal conduct policy

Nevermind a repeated violation

Its not like the NFL doesn't allow someone to repent...but getting involved in incidents...say 6 or 7 times certainly suggests that's enough chances right?

Besides, Jones was involved in 5 incidents before the Titans even suspended him for one game

Lest we forget the shooting he was involved in in vegas

And Matt Jones is still on Goodell's list...Chris Mortensen suggested it would be 1 or 2 games. Seems reasonable since he's been arrested...y'know...once

Look, i think Kaiser Goodell has certainly created a far reaching policy and it really hasn't been evenly executed, but in this case, its just apples and oranges

And how long does Matt Jones stay "on his list"? PacMan was suspended indefinately within days for an incident we have very few details about. How about James Harrison smacking around his baby's mother? Nothing for that? Goodell swept it under the rug. I dont' think Goodell offers the chance to change/repent. Tank Johnson got suspended for 8 games for a DUI that wasn't even a DUI in the end. The guy gets pulled over on <italic> suspicion <italic> of DUI. Turns out he was innocent, but that doesn't stop Goodell. Eight games for essentially driving poorly. Sounds fair right? 'Cause afterall that wasn't Johnsons first incedent. Of course, turns out the nonexistant DUI wasn't actually an incedent at all, but somehow it warrants a suspension. I'm not oblivious to Pacmans situation, but Goodell is too quick to pull the trigger. He is more worried about using Pacman and Johnson to set an example than he is about improving player conduct. So, my point wasn't that Matt Jones' situation is the exact same, it's just that Goodell villianizes the "badboys" so he can pretend like he is cleaning up the league, all the while he's burrying the vast majority of incedents (some of them serious). Sorry about the massive amount of misspelled words.

He'd have been better off with inky, blinky and sue as body guards.

He's barely good enough to be a nickle back. And he's not even worth the time to have him as your kick returner.

Like his former boss, Mr. Goodell, is a power hungry control freak who wants to be in total control and in this case is going after Jones for whatever reason. He has done some things in the past months that don't seem to have any reasons for. Jones' case of the fight with his bodyguard is a who cares type of situation and has nothing to do with his football playing. Yes he had a no trouble clause with Goodell but I don't feel that this particular situation fills that area of understanding. If he is that simple & closed minded then he shouldn't be the leader of the NFL. POWER crazy and wants to be known as the new CZAR of the NFL. CZAR ROGER sounds like a new toy, power him up and watch him go around and around. Yes he is a repeat offender by the rules but since when did Goodell ever go by the hardline of that rule. Jones is maybe someone who isn't a very good influence in the NFL but this idea of kicking him out because he got into it with his own bodyguard is on the wayout side of the rule. If someone yells and gets into with their brother should they be suspended as well. Come on Goodell wake up and smell the roses and don't penalize the Cowboys because one of their own had a in your face fight with his bodyguard. Or try and be a little more consistent with your rulings. It doesn't look like you are applying the rule to everyone the same way.
