ESPN: Goodell suspends Pacman, Henry for arrests
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2832015
Adam "Pacman" Jones of Tennessee was suspended Tuesday for the 2007 NFL season and Chris Henry of Cincinnati received an eight-game suspension -- both for numerous violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy.
The two players are suspended without pay, the NFL announced. Jones will lose $1,292,500 -- his 2007 base salary -- as a result of the suspension. Henry will lose $204,705.88 in salary if the Bengals' bye week is after Week 8. He will lose $230,294.12 if the Bengals' bye week falls in the first eight weeks of the season, meaning he will miss nine weeks of pay.

I thought he had already hired lawyers to fight the suspension?

Wanna bet money that he'll get arrested again during his suspension?

On a side note...
I don't understand why the NFL lets him have "P. JONES" on the back of his uniform.... his name is Adam... it should say "A. JONES"
