Pacman to appeal suspension

[hagansp]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Titans cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones said Friday night he will appeal his season-long suspension and thinks NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made him the league's poster boy for disciplining players.

Jones has not talked to reporters since the suspension for conduct detrimental to the NFL was announced Tuesday. Jones' attorneys had said they were discussing his options and have not returned telephone messages since Tuesday.

But Jones was in Tunica, Miss., and he talked to an ESPN reporter while at "Friday Night Fights" about being suspended -- without pay -- for the 2007 season. His case will be reviewed after the Titans' 10th game, leaving the chance for a return.

"I think it was a little bit harsh," Jones said. "I expected the suspension, but for a whole year for a guy that hadn't been charged with nothing? I really didn't agree with it. But for the most part, I'm taking it like a man. I'm going to appeal it. We'll see what the future brings."

I think he would be stupid to not appeal it. Does anyone disagree that he is the (posterchild) for what will happen if you violate the League Standard of being upstanding citizens (blah blah).

Of course I think he talks about just the one incident like he not had any other brush ups with the law or authorities. He won't win but hey you can't blame him for using his due process to challenge it. If he does win it will definitely put a BLACK EYE on the Commish (not going to happen).
