BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted October 14, 2008 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted October 14, 2008 What a moron. He can't even stay down for 7 weeks. Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted October 14, 2008 Super User Posted October 14, 2008 What a freakin' idiot. What grown man needs four body guards, per team rules, to keep him in line? This guy should have all of his assets seized, and spend the rest of his days on the fryer at MickyD's. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted October 14, 2008 Super User Posted October 14, 2008 It's hard for a thug not to be a thug. Jerry Jones should scour the prisons and see if any more thugs are about to be paroled. Quote
KevO Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 He actually lived down the road from me here in Franklin TN, but they foreclosed on his house. Guess his Lambo payment was more important. He would drive it to Nashville, park it outside a strip club running with doors open and dare people to try to steal it. What an idiot, I'm glad he's gone. Quote
dave Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 The thing I don't understand is why the commissioner doesn't just say, "enough, you're done forever." Quote

Super User Muddy Posted October 14, 2008 Super User Posted October 14, 2008 Geez gotta teah you Tenn guys everything It's spelled S_T_O_O_P_I_D next question Quote
fish-fighting-illini Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 The sad part is the guy is not much better than Michael Irvin and Irvin is practicaly hailed as a saint. The fact they are both Cowboys doesn't matter one way or the other to me I don't have a bias. That they are both Cowboys probably does point to a big picture issue though. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted October 15, 2008 Super User Posted October 15, 2008 The next one thats gotta go from that team is T.O. I remember when Philly got him and San Francisco fans warned us "Watch out for him he'll destroy your team" and we said "Nah, he'll be great here" Now he's started to do the exact same thing in Dallas. For the record, I'm a Vikings fan here deep in Iggles country, am not part of the Dallas Haters Society Quote
frogtog Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 The NFL needs the same rules that Pete Rose had. Quote
basser89 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 PACMAN = MORON! End o story! T.O. will be interesting to watch over the next couple of weeks with Romo being out. Brad Johnson has probably not worked much with him since he's been on the second string. Brad is more than likely going to go to the receivers he's most comfortable with first. At least, I don't think T.O's outfits can get any worse! LOL The bye week can't get here soon enough now! I'm just hoping we can keep pace with the rest of the NFC East til then! Maybe the rest of the defense will finally show up! Quote
atx_newbie Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Personally, I don't get why athletes are held to such high standards. Yeah, I understand, they are role models. So how about the example that the NFL just set: Sure, you didn't break the law, or any team or league issues, but we're still going to suspend you. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Just because he's had problems in the past, he's being hung here. There is no way of knowing what happened in this issue. For all we know, the bodyguard came at him. Would any of you not defend yourself if being assaulted? I'm not condoning his previous actions by any means, but this is kinda rediculous. And I'm a Saints fan. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted October 15, 2008 Super User Posted October 15, 2008 He was at zero tolerance with the league. I kind of doubt that his body guard provoked him. Quote

Siebert Outdoors Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Personally, I don't get why athletes are held to such high standards. Yeah, I understand, they are role models. So how about the example that the NFL just set: . Honestly I do not think they are strict enough. These guys get busted for drunk driving, drugs, etc and still go on. If it was me that did some of the crap they do my balls would be nailed to the wall. These guys are role models suposidly. They need to be held to that. One of the Ram's has killed someone in a drunk driving accident. He got off and still plays. If I did something stupid like that. I'd be in jail where I belonged. Quote
atx_newbie Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Yeah, and in this instance Jones wasn't drinking and driving, maybe wasn't even drinking (though I'm sure he was), and no charges were filed. Look, if an athlete breaks a law, then I am all for him/her being punished to the full extent of the law. But the "high standard" that I'm talking about is expecting that these guys aren't human and aren't going to make mistakes. People criticized Romo for dating Jessica Simpson--wouldn't you jump at that chance? Reggie Bush gets flak for his high-paying sponsorship--wouldn't you take the money?. Granted, Jones has had his issues in the past, but that doesn't mean he was wrong this time. Like I said--If laws are broken, that is a whole other issue. But if no laws are broken, we should lay off the athletes. They work harder than any of us do and deserve the good that comes to them. But we shouldn't expect them to put their off-field lives on hold. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted October 15, 2008 Super User Posted October 15, 2008 You're alone on this one. Quote
Super User Root beer Posted October 15, 2008 Super User Posted October 15, 2008 I agree with newbie. We don't know the whole story about pacman. Well atleast the latest incident. I'm not an NFL fan, so personally I could care less whether pacman is playing or is not playing. I don't feel like typing a counter argument. lol. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 15, 2008 Author Super User Posted October 15, 2008 I don't feel like typing a counter argument. lol. Good, you obviously don't know a thing about the guy. He played for the Titans here in Tennessee until his was suspended. We wouldn't have him back. Everything that this guy has ever been accused of is something he did. He has never been "wrongly accused". Quote
fish-fighting-illini Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 He has had enough issues that he doesn't need a court of law to decide his fate. If you or I were an a-hole at work and we aren't breaking any laws but can your employer fire you? Yes absolutely. All the guy had to do was walk away right or wrong and no problem. Just being in a bar with his history was really capitol STUPID!! He could have went home and had the bodyguard fired the next day but no that would be too easy. Working for an employer is a privilige(sp?) not a right so long as none of your legal rights are violated. Quote
