I think the CBA has a personal conduct policy that leaves it up to the Commissioner to determine how a player should be punished. The NFLPA can appeal a punishment, but I think the ultimate decision rests with the Commissioner. While that leaves the Commish with a lot of discretion, I think the Commissioners have been judicious (some would say too judicious) about handing out tough punishments and haven't abused their authority.

I don't care if there was precedence in place or not. This is a harsh consequence for acting like a douchebag. In one word, this is justice.

I know I'd have been fired for a lot less.

This new commish is not playing around. What people are forgetting is that three people were shot at this strip club and a guy that Pac Man was with most likely did the shooting. Becasue of this a man will never walk again. People need to remember that. What if that was one of us, or it was a friend of ours? I think the punishment was very fair. Pac Man needs to learn that hanging around bad people will get you nowhere in life.

Chris Henry's punishment was also fair. He constantly gets in trouble. It's like he just can't avoid being arrested. Dude needs to learn how to be a man. No excuse for driving around with a suspended license. Pay your ticket like everyone else does. Grow the f--k up and learn how to be a man.

Good moves. These lowlife thugs need to be taught a lesson, along with anyone else who thinks they are above the law in the future.

The NFL is better off without these guys.

Schneed10 · 04-10-2007, 02:40 PM

I'm no lawyer, but in a lot of ways, the law has "common sense" and "sound judgment" written into it.

For example, when it comes to determining if you were assaulted, one of the conditions for the charge is that "a reasonable person" would feel threatened by another's actions.

Or on self-defense, if "a reasonable person" would feel his life was in danger, he could use lethal force to defend himself.

Nobody is going to quarrell with this suspension, because it just feels reasonable to 95% of the population. You get in this much trouble, you get spanked. And spanked hard.

Totally agree. Not to threadjack, but a lot of people who criticize X, Y, or Z aspect of the legal system generally don't understand that there is a common-sense reason why the system is the way it is.

i really disagree. i think this is why our legal system is such a mess. if someone kills someone, throws the gun on the floor of their car, and gets pulled over for speeding, does the officer have probable cause to pick up the gun? this should be common sense, but alot of times its inadmissible in court

Like the laws against Marijuana?

I'm struggling to find any common sense there.

I say that the union agrees with this decision and does nothing. If they fight the issue it will be interesting to see how they defend a guy with this type of record. It won't happen!
