I'm surprised Roger's screw up of Pacman Jone's punishment isn't getting more play.
Pacman slammed a guys head into a helmet -- if he had hit it harder it could've seriously injured or killed him.
If that happened in hockey -- where fighting is common -- the player would've been ejected and suspended, and maybe even have criminal charges brought (a blatant act that could seriously hurt a defenseless person when it's not part of the game isn't legally acceptable just because it happened on the field).
Pacman even says there's no guarantee he wont do it again.
And for that, he gets a big 35k fine.
Meanwhile players get suspended for 4 games up to a season for marijuana.
That's Roger -- it's okay to stomp on a QBs hand, it's okay to take out someones knee, its okay to bash a head into a helmet, but it's not okay to smoke weed, or to play with balls that are naturally deflated.
