Not my intent to draw any parallel's in that regard, I was merely trying to establish a comparison based on proportionate penalties to offenses.

But again the same could have been said about the events that lead up to Sean Taylor's transgressions in Miami a couple of years ago. He was obviously involved in, be it directly or indirectly, the felonious actions involving a firearm. He pled to a lesser charge. Jones did the same thing, and is assisting in the identification of the actual assailant.

So would it have been fair and just for the league to suspend Sean Taylor?

Sean Taylor was the one who was robbed, he didn't show up at a strip club with trash bags full of money, incite a riot and allegedly order his body guard to take out a bouncer.

...but to answer your question, if the circumstances were similar, then clearly, YES he should have received the same punishment as Pac Man.

True, ST did not show up with "bags of money" but he did show up at the alleged perpetrators house brandishing a gun.

'Nuff said, I withdraw my comparison to ST, it is not right of me to speak ill of him under the circumstances and for that I apologize. But I hope you understand my point regardless.
