There will be a lot of players out there today looking at this and thinking: I have got to get my act together, there's no longer any leeway in my behaviour.
Says they will review things after 10 games, but I guess I do not interpret it to mean he MAY be reinstated this season.Henry not Washington.
Pacman can actually be reinstated after 10 games.
I disagree with this. Goodell should've waited until there was a conviction or at the least until charges were filed. A lot of Pacman's troubles haven't stuck legally, and I think that he could've sent a better message there. I find it troubling that a player (Merriman) can openly cheat, attacking the integrity of the game on the field, and have a minimal suspension and be awarded a Pro Bowl and DPOY considerations, while this is handled so harshly. I'm all for upholding the code of conduct when players are convicted, but let due process play through first. Then send your message.
Neither did OJ's crime but I wouldn't want him playing in the NFL if he were still able to. Convictions are irrelevant, they are what's necessary to lose your freedom and there is a tough standard for that . . . playing in the NFL is a priviledge, not a right like your freedom is until you're convicted. We need the sh!t out of the game, this is a start.I disagree with this. Goodell should've waited until there was a conviction or at the least until charges were filed.

The NEXT time PacMan gets in trouble with the law, he'll have to take his shoe off to count it. CHRONICALLY in trouble. NFL has changed their policy on ProBowls and DPOY considerations for Steroid users. BTW, how did Mr. Steroid Sauerbrun work for ya??I disagree with this.
