Pacman Jones Suspended Another Year for Michael Vicks Role In Dog-Fighting Ring

The NFL acted swiftly today to the news that Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of running a dog-fighting ring at his Virginia home, adding an additional year to the existing one-year suspension of Titans cornerback Adam Pacman Jones.

During my time as NFL commissioner, I have made it clear that I will not put up with any of our players no matter how big a name they are or how marketable they might be putting the NFL in a bad light, said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. I do not even require that a case run its course in the legal system. And thats exactly what Im doing again in this case. I will not wait to see if Michael will get convicted before I levy a judgment against Pacman.

Vick maintains his innocence in the case, but says he will accept the commissioners quick decision.

I am eager to see my name cleared in a court of law, said Vick. But until then, I will accept my punishment like a man. It will be hard for me to watch a talent like Pacman Jones sit on the sidelines for an entire year, but NFL players are at the mercy of the commissioner in such situations. I have half a mind to file a grievance with the union, but I probably wont.

Jones says he will, however.

Man, this is bullsh-t, said the embattled Titans star. Goodell refuses to cut me any slack at all. I have yet to be convicted of a single thing, yet now Im out for not just one year, but two. How was I supposed to know that skank-ho stripper I made it rain on was his niece? The guy needs to get over it and stop taking everything out on me.

But Goodell scoffs at claims he is treating Jones unfairly compared to the many other NFL players who have recently had legal issues.

I made it clear to Pacman when we met at my office a few years ago that he had to stop hanging around unsavory characters or his suspension would be extended, said Goodell. But since then Ive learned he is loosely associated with many despicable individuals such as Chris Henry, Tank Johnson and Michael Vick. So I believe I have been quite fair with him. He needs to either clean up his act or get several huge endorsement deals that would make me think twice about punishing him so as to not harm the marketability of the league. Its his choice.
