    Am i the only one

    Who finds it appauling that Adam Jones is yet again reinstated in the NFL?

    How many freaking chances is this guy gonna get? What kind of message are we sending to these players who already have swollen egos as it is? This guy is a douche bag and let's be honest he is not a great player anyway.

    This just paves the way for douche bag Vick to get reinstated upon his release. And of coourse some team will pay him money to come and pretend he is a QB again. I'm sick of this Goodell said he wanted to clean up the league and instead he just keeps slapping these guys on the wrist.

    The NFL creates a "fan conduct policy", meanwhile they give this dirtbag chance after chance. I just don't get it.

    And BTW, there are already rumors going around that Oakland is looking to secure Vick's rights for when he gets out of prison. So there's a good chance he'll be back.

    Depending on how good of shape Vick is in when he is released, someone will definitely take a chance on him because of the Wildcat. Picture some offense running the Wildcat all the time with Vick. He is a dangerous runner and also has the arm. It's actually a scary thought.

    I get what you are saying i do but the media circus that will come with him is going to be out of control. Look i am all for second chances and i do think that when Vick gets out of jail he should be able to go and work for a company like most ex-cons do. But playing in the NFL is not a right it is a privelage.

    What kind of message is the NFL sending young players who are already getting put on pedastools at the high school and sometimes junior high level? Ten years ago if you would of told me that ESPN would be playing high school football games on thier network in primetime i would have laughed at you. But now look there they are showing high school games. These players are coddled and told how great they are and such that they get a big head and ego and think they are above the law. This is why we have the Maurice Claretts and Ryan Perrilouxs of the college football world.

    It just pisses me off like OP said. The NFL would rather police it's fans with more authority then thier own players. It's not like Vick is the only running QB in the laegue. I bet if you put Troy Smith in the Wildcat offense he would have success. So would Tim Tebow when he come to the NFL. Even Pat White would most likely have some success. Oakland is just the thug team and until Al Davis dies or sells the team they will be a joke. I'm sick of these players getting chance after chance laughing all the way to the bank.

    Re: Am i the only one

    I completely agree with you. I wasn't saying Vick should get a chance or deserves a chance because he doesn't, but I also know that in the NFL players almost always get a second chance. In Pacman's case it's what, like a sixth chance now. That guy is a waste of life. He is one player I wouldn't mind seeing go down with some sort of broken bone on the field.

    Adam Jones is a perfect example of talent gone to to waste. And he is a waste of space. Look i understand some people have substance abuse problems. My aunt was a drunk that smoked pot everyday all day for 4 years. She fell into a dark hole after her mom/my grandma died. She turned to drugs and booze, lose her kids, lost all her finances, lost her licsence, almost lost her job and almost lost her life. She got sober and has been since.

    My point is this with Adam Jones i don't buy his oh i am a alcholic thats why i got drunk and started a fight with my body guard. No you are a disrespectfull ******* that thinks the world revolves around you. So in order to get sympathy from Goodell and J.Jones and possibly his team mates he says he is an alcoholic. Just a disgrace to people who actually have a problem. He is the reason why alot of people don't believe people when they say they have a problem. This guy is a douche and should have been kicked out of the league.

    Oh and Rockstar i was just venting about my frustration with the way players are being dealt with. And yes if it were Manning or Brady i would feel the same way. Only pieces of **** treat animals the way he did.

    Re: Am i the only one

    i am sickened by the fact that someone can constantly screw up and be allowed to play, but someone like pete rose in another sport is banished for something that wasn't completely proven.

    pac-man did finish his treatment program though....... lets just hope the 8th strike is him being sent away

    Re: Am i the only one

    America is the land of second chances, what makes sports any different?

    Hell Steve Howe got re-instated what 9 times after violating baseballs substance abuse policies in the 80s from powdering his nose too much.

    If you finish the treatment program, you shouldn't be denied the chance at making a living IMO

    And yes, Vick will be somewhere in the league when he gets released, as well he should.

    Pacman won't even be back for like another two games. I actually think besides the media attention his coming back is irrelevant.

    It's not irrelevant to us in Dallas, with Miles Austin out until the playoffs he instantly becomes the best returner on the team and before he went out was the best CB on the team. He was targeted more by QB's than any other CB on the team and was allowing the least number of yards per reception and had the most deflections.

    It is an embarrassment to reinstate Jones.

    Goodell tried to have a hard ass approach when he began it is obvious he is a pushover.

    Can you prove that he had someone shot? The law can't.
