Pac Man Passes the Buck - The Orange Mane

Rohirrim · 05-08-2007, 12:22 PM

In his bid to play in the NFL this season, Pacman Jones is using the "everyone does it" defense. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell recently suspended the Tennessee Titans star for the 2007 season because of his multiple run-ins with the law.

proving once again that he just doesnt get it.

Tredici · 05-08-2007, 01:04 PM

Jones' attorneys list 21 pages of incidents, 11 involving the Titans, dating to 2000.

So apparently past bad behavior is now to used as the legal basis for current bad behavior. I think I'll go kill a couple people and then say there have already been so many people convicted of murder, no need for another one.

Aye yi yi.

That's NOT the defense you wanna take with Goodell. What a fool.

Exactly.

Leaving aside Pacman's attempts to throw them all under the bus collectively, its absolutely deplorable that 283 NFL players have been arrested since 2007.

GonzoLays · 05-08-2007, 01:21 PM

What can goodell do to him now? He might as well go all out in his defense and make goodell look bad in the process.

"Oh, so two DUI's, one domestic violence charge and four parking tickets for player X is of no concern to you? What till we release this information and make the rest of the NFL look like a halfway house. I say we deal, Mr. Goodell. It is only in your best interests to do so."

Then quit watching.

Sure, all players have their posse light up a nightclub at 5 in the morning and have been caught lying about a felony dog fighting kennel.

Whatever. When he gets out of jail in a year or two he can serve his suspension.

What happened to the "I didn't know" BS? I loved the carefully worded lawyer's statement that is simply going to bleed him for every penny he can.

Thanks Mr. Lawyer, for indicting other players making Goodell's work easier.

Care to place a name on that? Inquiring minds want to know. Why would Goodell be inclined to "Plea Bargain" Gonzo? Pacman's lawyer is going to make him look what...let me guess.

Pacman has getting by with crap for so long he thinks he's immune. His lawyer will fleece him and lose.

I think your girlfriend Vick needs your attention more at the moment. Go defend that dirt bag for awhile.

watermock · 05-08-2007, 01:49 PM

Vick is making himself look bad without any help from Goodell. I'm confident that this is even more serious and he's waiting for indictments on this.

Your going to have the lawyer make Goodell look bad?

BroncoInferno · 05-08-2007, 02:23 PM

I'm a bit on the fence on this issue. On the one hand, I'm a firm believer in "innocent until proven guilty" and letting due process complete its course before retribution is sought. That fact the Pac-Man was suspended even though he has yet to be convicted of the various charges bothers that sensibility. On the other hand, it is unlikely that an innocent victim of circumstance would land himself in jail nine times. Not sure how I feel about these tougher guidelines for those conflicting reasons.

Bladerunner · 05-08-2007, 02:29 PM

His defense is valid, but only reinforces the issue that Goodell is aiming to fix.

"Thank you for the information...you have affirmed my assessment that the league needs a good housecleaning. You're the vanguard, congratulations!

Business suspend employees that are under investigation all the time. Pending the ressult of the investigation they may or may not be reinstated. I don't see how this is any different.

Football players don't go to jail unless they deal kilo's of Coke(Jamal Lewis).

No, people stopped watching the NBA when it became "too black" for America.

Wrong again

That's why the NBA MVP every year is white, right?

Atwater His Ass · 05-08-2007, 03:23 PM

Define "too black".
