CB Pacman Jones Apologizes To Titans, NFL
Jim Wyatt, The Tennessean - [Full Article]
Tennessee Titans troubled CB Pacman Jones talked of being a changed man. He apologized to his team and the NFL for all the negative publicity he has generated, and said he expects to be punished. "Whatever the punishment is, I am going to be a man and I am going to take responsibilities and own up," Jones said. "Hopefully it won't be that long or nothing that could jeopardize my career. You live and you learn and if it keeps on happening, then you can point the finger and be like, 'Well, he still ain't learning.' … Trust me, I have hit the wall."
WHO BELIEVES THIS SHIT???
When will we stop hearing about Pacman's off-field incidents

NFL suspends Pacman Jones and Bengals' Henry
(April 10, 2007) -- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has informed Adam Jones of the Tennessee Titans and Chris Henry of the Cincinnati Bengals that they have been suspended without pay for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy and engaging in conduct detrimental to the league on numerous occasions, the NFL announced today.
Jones was suspended for the 2007 season, while Henry was suspended for the first eight games of the 2007 regular season. Each player must earn the right to be reinstated.
“We must protect the integrity of the NFL,” Commissioner Goodell said. “The highest standards of conduct must be met by everyone in the NFL because it is a privilege to represent the NFL, not a right. These players, and all members of our league, have to make the right choices and decisions in their conduct on a consistent basis.”
In a letter to each player, Commissioner Goodell wrote: “Your conduct has brought embarrassment and ridicule upon yourself, your club, and the NFL, and has damaged the reputation of players throughout the league. You have put in jeopardy an otherwise promising NFL career, and have risked both your own safety and the safety of others through your off-field actions. In each of these respects, you have engaged in conduct detrimental to the NFL and failed to live up to the standards expected of NFL players. Taken as a whole, this conduct warrants significant sanction.”
Jones will be strictly monitored by the Titans and the NFL during the suspension as part of his opportunity to earn reinstatement through adherence to a set of conditions. His status will be reviewed after the Titans’ 10th regular-season game to determine the extent to which he has complied with the conditions and whether the suspension should be affected by the disposition of any pending or prospective charges.
The specific conditions that apply to Jones’ suspension include the following:
He must have no further adverse involvement with law enforcement. He must fully cooperate with all required counseling, education, and treatment assigned under league or court-ordered programs. He must adhere to the restrictions on his activities that have been agreed to by he and the Titans. He may not be at the Titans’ facility through May 31 and may not participate in any practices or organized workouts during the term of the suspension. Beginning June 1, he must visit the team facility once each week to meet with the team’s player development director. Also, beginning June 1, he is permitted to spend one day a week at the team facility for conditioning, film study, and other similar activities. In conjunction with the team’s player development director and other professionals working with him, Jones must develop with the Titans a structured program of community service or other activity. This program must be submitted to the league office for review and approval.
Henry will be reinstated after the Bengals’ eighth regular-season game if he meets certain conditions during his suspension that will be monitored closely by the Bengals and the NFL. Those conditions include the following:
He must have no further adverse involvement with law enforcement. He must fully cooperate with all required counseling, education, and treatment assigned to him under league programs. He is eligible to be at the Bengals’ facilities during the rest of the offseason for customary activities and he must meet weekly with the team’s player development director. If he fully complies with all other conditions, he may participate in the Bengals’ training camp and preseason games. During the regular season, he is permitted to be at the Bengals’ facility for team meetings and must meet weekly with the team’s player development director, but he may not attend or participate in practice. He must fully comply with all conditions imposed on him by any court, including requirements of community service.
Jones and Henry were told that any failure to comply with these conditions will result in additional discipline, including possible banishment from the league.
“I must emphasize to you that this is your last opportunity to salvage your NFL career,” Commissioner Goodell wrote to Jones and Henry. “I urge you to take full advantage of the resources available to support you in that effort.”

I am not in agreement with Jones' behavior, but it's too harsh for someone who hasn't been convicted of a crime.
It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out in court. I'm sure PacMan will sue the league. I would.

You better get on your knees and pray...Sheffield and Gainesboro are on the way.
