Pacman Reinstated; In other news, Roger Goodell is an idiot 

Post#1 » by Da Schwab » Thu Nov 20, 2008 5:09 am

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The NFL is giving Adam "Pacman" Jones another chance.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Wednesday the suspended cornerback has been reinstated by league commissioner Roger Goodell, but he must miss two more games -- this Sunday and the following game on Thanksgiving. He'll be back Dec. 7 at Pittsburgh.

"He much appreciates the Cowboys and Jerry Jones for standing behind him and encouraging him, and he's grateful to the commissioner," said Worrick Robinson, Adam Jones' Nashville-based attorney.

Jerry Jones would not reveal any conditions the commissioner may have imposed and the league office said it would not have any immediate comment. However, Robinson, said, "He knows what he has to do. It's very clear."

"He's a long way, a long way from having clear sailing," Jerry Jones said.

I’m sure Icness will appreciate the analogy, but this is Clarence Kay all over again.

The difference being Rozelle was never big on enforcing personal conduct rules vis-à-vis the NFL’s image whereas that’s been Goodell’s M.O. from the get-go.

Goodell is sending a very confusing message.

He got in a fight with his bodyguard, and you want him kicked out of the league for good? At some point I'm sure he will get kicked out, but it's gonna take more than something insignificant like this. Once he does something that would actually get any other player suspended he'll probably be done for good.
