Pacman - 1 year ( can apply after 10 Games)
Henry - 8 games

as/per NFL Network

Just heard this on ESPN. I didn't think he would be that much but hey its time to show these guys they can't do whatever they want anymore.

Here are the conditions of the suspensions.

I'm glad to see him come down like this. Hopefully this will be a message to ALL players that this shit won't be tollerated.

If Pacman complies fully and gets reinstated after 10 for the final 6 games, it will count as a full season in regards to FA status years

Now to see how decisions like this affect future negotiations between the players and the league. I love seeing the league take a stronger stance toward things like this, but I do think that this will create a bit of separation between the players and the league.

He's gone for the year, there will be no reinstatement after week 10 IMO.

I honestly can't believe that Pac got an entire year suspension. I was guessing around 4 games or so. Pac hasn't even been convicted of anything yet. Hell, Tank Johnson's sitting in jail right now and he didn't get any kind of suspension.

Oh don't worry Tank will get his when he is out of jail. And everyone already thinks it will be a year as well.

I was shocked as well to see him get a year. I doubt we have heard the end of this though.

The thing that got PacMan in trouble was not reporting some of his arrests.

It is troubling, though, that the draconian punishment has come down on someone not convicted of anything. If you are a young flashy rich (some-large) guy (especially of color), it is easy to be unfairly targeted sometimes. The Fred Weary case is a good example--the Houston Police Department accused him of all sorts of awful things after they tasered him twice--but turns out that as more evidence came out, it looked like the arrest and tasering may have been unjustified. That case, and a few other high profile taserings in Houston have caused the city to rethink their use of Tasers.

Gee, what is the point of being a young rich guy if you can't go to clubs and tata bars and worry about maybe being arrested?


All that being said, couldn't have happened to a better guy at least for those of us in division. PacMan is a difference maker and this suspension is non-good for them.

Yeah, that's the thing that really bothers me about this whole thing, Pac hasn't even been convicted of anything. I mean, if some random Colts fan decided to accuse Vince Young of assault, and it turns out that he wasn't guilty at all in the first place, does that still mean that the NFL can suspend him because he was accused of something in the first place? I think the league got itself into a lot of hot water, because it seems like they suspended Pac in a completely arbitrary method.

Lol, and I bet that you are pretty happy that Pac's gone for the year...he's worth at least 2 or 3 wins a year with his playmaking ability. He can completely turn games around by himself, kind of like the Giants game last year with his interceptions and punt returns.

He's been in trouble with the law TEN times!!!! That is not a random accusation that may or may not be true! That is a trend there! Here is how I see it, if you were in Pac-Man shoes, and had been in the trouble you were in, would your employer wait till a judgement to shit can your ass?? I know mine would not!

I think Goodel did good today, even if it does hurt my favorite team. Since they take the power out of the teams hands, they need to act, and act they did today!

I was a bit suprised that the year was handed down right away, I felt it would be around 8 games right now, and then re-evaluate it when some of these issues go to court and suspend him the other 8 before he reinstates. Same with henry, felt it would be in the 4-6 range, but 8 doesn't bother me! These players need to learn that there are social responsibilities that come with the positions they hold! As the commish said, playign in the NFL is a privaledge, not a right!!

I agree that should have gotten some suspension for his actions off the field, but the penalty that got handed out is just ridiculous. The largest penalty, to the best of my knowledge, that's ever been given out for conduct detrimental was when TO got 4 games with the Eagles a couple of years back, and Pac's 16 game suspension just blew that out of the water, without even being convicted of anything yet. The suspension is completely unprecedented, and Goodell didn't give any explanation for why he gave 16 games, he gave it to him. I'd really like to see an explanation from the league about why he got a stricter suspension than Chris Henry, when they both seemed to be in the same boat. Just imagine how much crap would have been kicked up if Kobe Bryant had been suspended for the entire season when he was accused of rape a couple of years ago, when it turned out that he wasn't guilty at all.

At this rate, Ray Lewis should have gotten about 3 years for being accused of murder, Jamal Lewis should have gotten about 4 years for going to jail for being a drug dealer, and Tank Johnson should get about 5 years for actually serving jail time, but Goodell let him play in the Super Bowl when he was already on house arrest.

It was probably so high because you know the players union will appeal it. Once they do that they we will come to an agreement for a lesser time...

According to NFL Network, Tank has an appointment to see Goodell as soon as he is released from jail. And it don't look good for him

Remember, it's the repeat offener that he is going after.....Ray & Jamal were not in and out of police custoday for multiple events as Adam and Chris have been. That is why there in deep shit, they just can not stay out of trouble!

And don't worry about Tank, he's getting his.

Anpother one I'm wondering about is Porter. Hasn't he had multiple run in's with the law now? Not to mention his last one was an assult on another NFL player off the field......Iron Fist may not look to highly on that one.

It's all about holding these million dollar babies up to a higher standard. I'm all for it.

Titansfan484, the sooner you come to grips with the fact you have a piece of sh*t menace to society on your roster, the better off we'll all be. Your franchise's front office, as well as the former G.M. that drafted "Pac" (since that's apparently his official surname now) have ALL acknowledged that this is a fair and just ruling.
And stop pretending you'll be rescued by the NFLPA (like everyone else has been, in the past) because they're the ones that brought these suspensions on in the first place because they're fed up with being made to look like fools.

In fact, why don't you take some slow, careful notes on how Miller is reacting to the Henry suspension, because he is far beyond intelligent enough to realize/admit when a man on his favorite team has made a conscious decision to stop acting like a responsible adult male.

This conduct clause has been in existence for quite some time, now the Union has given the commish the leeway to FINALLY enforce it.

Hooray, NFL.

By the way, save the constitutional bullsh*t about innocent until proven guilty for some other time.
This forum's members and readers are way too smart for that regurgitation at this point.

I am figuring it will be reduced to 10 games, allowing for the to count towards free agency.

Sounds like it will only be reduced if he is cleared of all his pending matters, I don't see that happening.

That's sort of what I have been reading also.
