jetsfan Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Cincinnati Bengal Adam Jones was arrested early Sunday morning. Witnesses told police "Pacman" Jones was intoxicated and disruptive at a local bar. When Jones was asked to leave witnesses said he was uncooperative. When police were called, Jones reportedly still refused to leave the bar. As officers tried to arrest Jones, police said he tried to get out of his handcuffs. The police complaint said two officers were needed to restrain him. Jones, a cornerback and return specialist, was signed by the Bengals in May of 2010.

TNtitans Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Ray Lewis was right. Without football the kids will turn to crime. First Hines and now Pacman. The deal needs to get signed soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazysight Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 The bad boys are taken advantage because without the CBA the league can't touch them. At least he didn't shoot the place up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 They should have tazed him. Word has it, he didnt want to go to jail because he knew Hines Ward was there and feared being blindsided on the chow line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 The league said that they plan on enforcing the conduct policy during the lockout. Not that I care about Pacman, but how can they do that? Keep you from working and not pay you, but fine you if you don't follow their rules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazysight Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) The league said that they plan on enforcing the conduct policy during the lockout. They can plan whatever they want to, but if the players aren't under a valid, working contract, which they really aren't during a lockout, they won't be able to legally do so. Though you never know with the system being what it is, they may be able to get away with it all the same.

Though you never know with the system being what it is, they may be able to get away with it all the same. It's not an issue of legality. What you said explains why they cannot penalize them right now, but once they go back to work, they become employees again and their previous contracts and policies go back into effect. Thus they will be subject to their employers' rules of conduct. There is nothing that says that what you do outside of work or even prior to employment can't influence your employers decisions about your employment and penalties you agreed to when you signed the contract. Do I think it's reasonable for them to give the same harsh penalties as normal, not really, but do they have the right to do so? Absolutely.

Saying that I'm allowed to not hire a guy because of things he's done prior to coming to work for me is not the same as me hiring someone and then immediately fining him for something he did prior to that employment. I'm curious to hear what legal basis they have for enforcing terms of contracts during a lock-out. That would be quite a situation. I mean, that's what a contract is. One party agrees to pay the other for following the terms of said contract. Well, once you've stopped paying, I can't see how you can expect the other part to live up to their end of the deal.

Admittedly I'm kind of talking out my rear on this one, but part of my assumption lied with the fact that Goodell has stated that they will still be subject to the league's conduct policies during the lockout, and I don't think he'd do so if there was any legal issue involved... I was just thinking about rookies and FA in particular, who aren't currently under a contract, but there is one thing they all have in common: they've all declared for the NFL and plan to continue to be part of it when the lockout ends. Keep in mind this isn't a team policy (the ones who pay the salaries), it's the NFL's policy. I dunno, maybe there is a legal issue I'm overlooking, but my understanding is that, once you declare for the NFL you become part of their public image, even in the offseason when you aren't recieving game checks. I think that's the distinction. Of course they can't do anything about what someone did "prior to employment", but if you've declared for the NFL, then at that point you become an employee/member of the NFL until you retire (right?), and I have to assume that somewhere in writing you agree to abide by their conduct policy just for being a part of it, even during the offseason or during a lockout.

jetsfan Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 The district attorney in Las Vegas says he'll review police reports of NFL football player Adam "Pacman" Jones' weekend arrest before deciding whether to ask a judge to jail Jones for violating a probation stay-out-of-trouble order. Clark County District Attorney David Roger tells The Associated Press it could be weeks before he decides whether to seek jailing Jones for up to a year. The 27-year-old Jones plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. He was arrested early Sunday at a Cincinnati bar on charges of resisting arrest and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while intoxicated. Jones's lawyer in Las Vegas, Robert Langford, says he thinks charges against his client will be dropped. Jones was sentenced to one year of probation in February for his role in a 2007 strip club melee in Las Vegas. Dumbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
