OT: Pacman Jones is suspended for a year
The guy hasn't even been convicted of anything yet. The union has to appeal this and I think they'll have all the grounds in the world to do so.
Don't get me wrong; I think he's a scumbag.
But I don't know how there's any way the NFL can justify this within the spectrum of the CBA. I know they have this new Personal Conduct stipulation, but how can they make this decision retroactively?

Thats what I was wondering about. Ex post facto much? Even though the union is behind this it seems that there is no way an appeal wouldn't win. Seems very unamerican if u ask me.

The sky is not falling. Out of 53 x 32 people the number getting in trouble is still low. In my opinion the NFL needs to take a strictly business like position towards it. If a player is hurting the leagues bottom line they have the right to take professional action. The NFL is selling a product and if someone causes sales to go down they should be fired. The ability to be rehired is above and beyond what the league should be expected to do. This isn't a stars league like the NBA. This is a teams league and if someone doesn't want to do their job someone else will.
