Tank Johnson Gets 8 Game Ban

[gil]

The Pacman people will whine about this, and it is weird since this guy actually did time:

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced Monday Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson will be suspended eight games as part of the league's new conduct policy.

Goodell did give Johnson the chance to reduce the suspension to six games if he meets certain conditions. The league notified Johnson he could reduce the suspension by two games if he has no further adverse involvement with the law, complies with all the league requirements and doesn't participate in any practices or organized team workouts during the suspenson.

does the suspension refer to seasonal games only or would his minicamp/training camp time be illegal too?

Holy cow, didn't think the Comish would follow through with his 'plan.'

From what I read, he can participate in OTA's and even pre-season games - the suspension will relate to 8 games during the regular season.

Am I the only one that thinks the comish is acting tough? Like he's pushing his limit? I think Tank would have gotten the hint after 4 games.

Not sure, but I can't wait to see what happens with Joey Porter.

i think porter and justin miller will get 4-8 games but, too will get the good behavior clause because they are "first timers"

John Clayton seems to think Joey Porter is getting no time.

yeah, well they also dont take well to "detrimental" incidents and so far are taking the hardass approach.....

granted its not as severe as say, hording weapons, dogfighting, or X ammount of incidents in so many years......... but its still an arrest that both porter and miller will end up paying for......... granted it may not necissarily be 8 games like tank, and others, but i think it will be more than just a fine...... im thinking if they do NOT suspend, they will be kept very closely to the league offices

Vick should get a full year suspension after his herpes, water bottle, and dogfighting incidents. Just like Pacman. ::wocka wocka wocka::

Re: Tank Johnson Gets 8 Game Ban

Nice job, Commish!



But I still won't believe he's really serious until I see that piece of **** from Atlanta get suspended for at least half the season.

So the law enforcement feels it's worth a fine, but you the Jet fan + the other Bills fans on this board thinks it's worth games suspensions. Not a game. Games. Ok...

Re: Tank Johnson Gets 8 Game Ban

Tank did time for his stuff and Goodell is probably taking that into consideration since he did pay for some of his actions and not just get away with all of them like Pac Man. Plus he has only ran into trouble with the law 2 or 3 times and not 11 times in 2 years like Pac Man.
