"I must emphasize to you that this is your last opportunity to salvage your NFL career," Goodell wrote to the players. "I urge you to take full advantage of the resources available to support you in that effort."

 

Well, their careers are over. Good.

[See Red]

I hope these guys take this opportunity, not to salvage their careers, but to salvage their lives -- and then maybe their careers. With what happened to Darrent Williams, who as I understand wasn't even doing anything all that bad, on New Years, it's scary to think that these guys continue to go down these paths. He's a terrific talent and it's a shame the NFL has to take these measures to try and get the message through -- unfortunately, I don't think it will work.

 

I'm glad the NFL has taken these measures, though. Good job, NFL!

[Mr Crunchy]

who b dissin pacman like dis??

 

fuking retards

i mean really

more money than God,everyone catering to your ass and yet they insist on acting like common street nixxxas??

 

f*** em

and i mean f***em

 

if youre a 20sumthin man carrying a gun out with your friends i suspect youre up to no good

if youre a 20 sumthin pro athlete traveling with your hangers on and assorted other posse and carrying a gun while out clubbing ??

you belong in jail for no other reason than stupidity

stupidity isnt illegal yet

and if it were??

the nfl and nba would fold

[jacksonianmarch]

Tank Johnson'll be next.

 

the reason why they call him tank is, well, because he has a tank in his garage as well as a small colombian militia.

I'm glad to see this, even if the players were on my team id want this done. NFL is going to good right now to become another thug league were everyone wants to be a rapper instead of playing football.... Just a thought for eveyone, MLB and NHL have fewer % of African American players then the NFL and NBA, and they also aren't accused of being a thug league with a bunch of trouble makers.... hmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

 

And the hole being young thing with alot of money is BS, theres white players out there making big bucks but you don't find them out strap down at strip clubs smacking the strippers around, the hole thug/ rapper mentality will be the downfall of African American society..... I dont know if its the bling that gets to these guys heads or what, but since when is it ok to act like this and throw money around like this just because you grew up poor or whatever? I didnt have a hole lot growing up( my parents did the best they could and i am thankful for that) but if i was making a Mill+ a season i wouldnt be trying to make it rain at a strip club or carrying a handgun, or have one of my buddys shoot some guy over nothing, and some African American people wonder why they cant get ahead in life, its because of tools like Pacman Jones and Chris Henry who think just because there young Black and athletic can get away with anything, but in truth the just f***ing morons and if the couldnt play ball theyd be seeling crack on the corner with the rest of the posse.....

[example1]

PacMan should be booted out of the NFL forever.

Nothing starts off the day like a little bit of racism...

Guised better, it could have been shielded from its racist overtones. You figure those who have a higher propensity for criminal activity are those who are raised in high crime, low income areas. These areas are predominantly settled by minorities. So if you wish to make a loose assocation between minorities and criminal activity, the stats will back you up. But to call it a thug league is a problem. I think the NFL and NBA especially need to help these kids who come up with nothing, fighting for their lives on the streets and all of a sudden become millionaires. The kid can leave the city, but the city doesnt leave the kid.

[BSN07]

I'm not racist at all, im actually the exact opposite. I was just mearly pointing out the obvious. I understand that some not all of these guys come from broken homes, bad areas, low income familys, but it is no excuse for the way they act when they have money. When little old ladies win the lottery in Florida they don't go to the strip club with there posse and tune a couple strippers up while trying to make it rain. Someone needs to let them know this behavior will not be excepted. Further more they should have someone on the team staff or appointed by the league to show these guys how to handle there money so there not broke by the time they get it out of playing, which happens often. Instead of going and throwing thousands of dollars around at a strip club, or going out and buying a 100K diamond knecklace so you can look like Nelly, do something wise with your money. Put it away for your kids future or something. Invest it so when you are done playing you don't have to worry about money for your family for the rest of you lives, and as much as some guys make your kids lives too. Most of these guys do these dumbass things to attract the almighty pussy, but if your NFL/NBA player and you need to to flaunt diamond knecklaces and throw dollar bills around to get laid then you must have no game at all...

 

 

and the racial overtones in my last post were ment to be kind of a sarcastic deal, sorry I look at it know and it is kind of hard to distinguish it...

[Mr Crunchy]

sox nation

im not sure of your age but you need to know the NHL lost its network status 30 years ago because of thuggish behavior and if you wanted to watch the nhl playoffs when the bruins were elimated you could find them on the mizzlou network

 

i can give you a list from borje salming to kevin stephens who are essentially nothing short of coke addicts

i can give you guys like dave schultz and jon ferguson to stan jonathan and dave williams and ty domi and colton orr and i wont go back to what wayne macchi did to teddy green

men who were complete f***ing thugs with little hockey ability..

craig mctavish,10 year vet and coach now killed a girl I knew driving the wrong way down route #1 in peabody absolutley shitfaced

pelly lindbergh,rookie of the year goalie from philly ate a tree at 100mph in his brand new porshe and killed himself

 

how this translated in private doesnt matter

publically the game got crucified because moms didnt want their babies to grow up to be hockey players and the networks couldnt get sponsors to pay for this crap

 

baseball got its own issues

is brett meyers,the phillies pitcher who beat the s*** out of his wife black??

was will cordero,the guy who beat the s*** out of his wife black??

was david cone,caught jerking off in the bullpen in front of 50,000 people black??

was the late steve howe,suspended by mlb for life black?

ken caminitti come on down

 

i understand your point of view and agree that some of these black kids need to grow up and act like men instead of Tupac but to say its a black problem and that mlb and the nhl are exempt isnt fair to the MLB or NHL

[BSN07]

Na I know its not a black thing, that would be dumb and nieve, but what these young black players have to understand is people are looking for them to make these kind of mistakes and there just perpetuating the stero types. all groups of people have there issues, but it seems whenever its a strip club or bar its black guys touting guns with there ontarage, I just get mad because there too stupid to keep themselves out of these situations, there out trying to be the man big pimpin player just because they have money and watch too much BET and believe that is how you really should act in life. Im 24 so i dont know about all those Hockey cases, but it seems the league since then tried to make changes to avoid being a thug league, which i think all leagues should be aware of and take actions against to stop it from happening,

Clayton County deputy Devele Andrews says he heard Pacman Jones state "(Expletive) this. I'm going to the car to get my gun," after Andrews ordered Jones to leave a nightclub in Atlanta Monday morning.

 

Jones' lawyer claims his client has been cleared of any wrongdoing, but the police report says 8-10 gunshots were fired shortly after Jones made the alleged statement. Pacman has not been accused of committing any crime.

[riverside sluggers]

Guys cmon he's a had a troubled past, so he should get a free pass here

 

Good to see the NFL show these f***ers some actual punishment

[See Red]

This guy will never play another down in the NFL.

Racist.

[jacksonianmarch]

Pacman belongs in jail. I hope he goes there and stays there. I dont care how fast you can run, if you like grabbing guns and shooting unarmed people, you should be locked away.

[Rodney Harrison]

Where's Al Sharpton to make a case that Pacman should be reinstated?

[See Red]

Where's Al Sharpton to make a case that Pacman should be reinstated?

 

You would think he'd have made an appearance in all of this considering Pac Man was suspended without being convicted or charged with anything. Didn't Sharpton even come to Ron Artest's defense? When you're black and you get a suspension like this that completely breaks all precedent and Sharpton doesn't come to your aid... you know you f***ed up, I guess.

[Mr Crunchy]

jones case has become undefendable

the guy is lawrence phillips and cecil collins with a bigger posse

 

the kid from denvers in a box and this cock insists on running with the bad boys and playing with guns

good thing most of these guys cant shoot for s*** with the hardware theyre firing

 

racist??

no

unless things have changed the #1 killer of the young black male is still the young black male and that my friends is the sin of it all when the shake down artists like sharpton become apologists for this mans behavior

 

whats racist is the mindset that his behavior is acceptable and understood because of his upbringing....im not familiar with his backround but i know of some great people that came from the worst possible conditions and many athletes who overcame misery that we could barely fathom in our comfortable settings.

 

terry glenn comes to mind although you wont see him win any good citizen awards

he was orphaned and on his own at 10 with a mama murdered and a missing dad

of course hes had his issues off the field but i applaud him for getting his s*** together and making a decent career for himself after his unceromonial departure from here

most dont get it together

most end up like tony collins,another patriot who had drug problems

hes from south miami and 1 of 15 children with multuple dads

he went to school with my cousins in dade county and his youngest brother had my cousins wife as a teacher....'

'SORRY MISS CAMPBELL I BE LATE TODAY MY NEW DADDY MOVE IN""

 

i feel the #1 problem in not just the black but poorer communities is babies out of wedlock and no males in the household.....

its so bleeding hard on single mothers it just aint fair

my dad wasnt much of a role model but i knew damn well if mama had to reach out to him for assisting my behavior justice would be swift and severe

kids can physically deal with their moms at 8-10 yrs old and in a lot of cases its the older siblings who raise the kids while mama works her ass off

 

overcoming hardships is difficult but a 23 year old millonaire doesnt qualify as a hardship case as far as im concerned

hes a f***ing idiot who will be in jail or in the morgue soon enuff if he insists on f***ing with the guys who carry guns and enjoy using them
