Some think Pacman Jones is close to lifetime ban

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Pacman Jones for four games without pay on Tuesday for an incident the Cowboys organization had considered relatively minor. The commissioner will make a final ruling on Jones' future in the NFL at the end of his month-long suspension.

Full story by Paul Needell at The Star-Ledger:

For a while there, when Cowboys owner/enabler Jerry Jones rushed to exonerate Pacman of anything more than "horseplay" in last Tuesday's hotel bathroom brawl with his own bodyguard, it seemed like the league was willing to sweep it under the rug. That couldn't have been further from the truth.

Goodell didn't take Jerry's own investigation at face value. Nor did he rush to judgment. Once all the facts were in, though, Goodell again proved he is not a man to be crossed...
