What Would You Do With Pacman Jones?

[djluis2k6]

As long as he hasn't already had them, I'd give him the 3 stikes rule. When he hits his 3rd strike, kick him off the team and don't offer him as much next time.

Crime/Legal/Illegal? It has nothing to do with that. He broke the terms of his reinstatement into the NFL. It has nothing to do with the legality of anything.

Not sure why some are arguing for this loser, but everyone has a right to their opinion. To me, regardless of whether you are a professional athelete, actor or political figure, once you are in the spotlight, you have a moral responsibility to hold yourself to higher standards than the rest of us. I realize the term "morals", these days, is lost on a lot of people, and that's sad. I"ll shut-up before I end up saying something that will get me suspended. Of course, this is just one guy's opinion.

is this really any of our concern as spectators? why are we up in arms about it

yeah, gambling is a serious, serious offense in sports. probably the most serious one there is. theres a reason baseball has yet to let shoeless joe or pete rose into the hall of fame. because gambling jeprodizes the intergrity of the game.

pacman has shown time and time again, he cannot follow the rules of the league or the rules of the law. they should nip his crap in the bud now, before it escalates into serious problems that could potentially jepordize the game. i think that is a concern of the spectators.

he broke the rules of his contract, throw him out.

Nothing... I don't know where it's been.

morals are subjective. some consider killing animals to be immoral. some consider abortion immoral.

teachers and parents should hold themselves to a higher standard, not professional athletes.

Good to see some people in this post using their head. Guess what if i choose to hang around with a bunch of scumbags getting into bar fights, waving a gun around, my boss at my job could fire me. Just because he is a average football player who by the way has already had about 6 breaks says everything you need to hear about his character. Obviously the NFL does not want that kind of crap going on with it's players.

Lt smoked crack yes he was also in a very different phase of the NFL at a time when image was not everything. In case people have been living in a hole the last 3 years the new guy in charge does not take any #@!#, he is the boss and calls the shot. It's up to pacman to follow his lead or else find a new line of work. This is no ones fault but pacmans, it's up to him to change it, if he chooses the crowd he rolls with over his career well then have a nice life!

[Teabaggins]

if the new guy doesn't take shit then why did pacman get so many chances?

and if your boss fired you over who you hang out if it doesn't affect your performance at work then he's a bad businessman. comparing your job to Pacman's is a joke to begin with. he doesn't live in the real world

Well I wouldn't give him a wrestling contract. Anyone who watches TNA will remember what happened. That storyline was just awful.

The new guy had Pacman suspended for all of last year and now has him facing a permanent ban in the NFL. Jerry Jones, the Cowboys owner, has way too much influence in the league, that's why he was reinstated.

money talks.

new guy needs to go, I like my sports like I like my politics; corrupt and controlled by older white men

What the hell does money have to do with this? Really read some of the useless garabage you are posting up that makes no sense at all! How many chances should he get, 10, 20, 30 where does it end? And yes my job and most others on this forums job would be terminated for some of the crap he has done. We do not get 5 get out of jail free cards like he has been blessed with.

This is the problem with this country right now is no one takes responsibility for their own actions. A perfect example of this is the current housing crisis, people knew they could not afford the homes but yet still bought them and either left them for the bank to deal with or are now begging us the tax payers to pay their bills.

#@#@ing pathetic if you ask me!

I think he was referring to my statement about Jerry Jones. I'm sure its the same reason Belichick didn't face a suspension. Kraft is just as influencial.

wtf does the housing crisis have to do with average "joe sixpacks" giving a shit whether Pacman gets kicked out or not? maybe if they had read their mortgage contracts closer in stead of worrying about Pacman's problems then they would be better off right now.

I don't think he should have so many chances as well, but i also don't really care if he gets them and it certainly doesn't upset me. why would I care?

it's the holier than thou attitude that is also killing this country

[CobraComander]

you need a jail for life option on the poll also

I am a firm believer that however you conduct yourself off-field should not effect you on-field.

I am a life-long Cowboys fan and I think the team should cut ties with Adam Jones. Jerry signed Adam Jones and Pac-Man showed up. It's unfortunate that he cannot understand what a privilege it is to play in the NFL. Most of us work and scrape to make ends meet and this guy just can't see how good he has it. What a disappointment, but not unexpected.
