Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin

his cocaine use affects him personally and maybe his teamates/team
"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

it was a misprint in the paper it said convicted but i went to the online news and it said charged, but he was caught redhanded.
as far as him or his teammates, it was a "felony".

Coral ReeferNew MemberAll I know is that the standards expected of NFL referee's seem to be very lax. THe quality of calls in just about any game has gotten embarrassing. I understand it's a fast game and they'll miss somethings but it's gotten to the point where with a lot of these calls that's just not a valid excuse for the sheer volume of mistakes.
Maybe they should start fining the damn refs that make phantom calls or miss calls that upon review should have never been missed. The NFL needs to do something because it's a pathetic situation.

dolfan06New Memberthey should start fining the refs, then maybe the negative comments would stop, plus they might start calling the game correctly.

Jones' coke use definately affects the NFL. NFL players are looked up to as role models for young kids everywhere. With players out getting arrested left and right, and guys like Jones being busted with coke what kind of example does that set for young kids everywhere? It directly affects the NFL and its players' image.
That being said, i agree with Porter 110%. I know Jones' suspension is being appealed... but i mean come on, lets speed up the process here.
