In the wake of Titans CB Pacman Jones’ alleged involvement in a shooting at a strip club during NBA All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas, bloggers are reacting to the possibility of the NFL implementing a tougher conduct policy in the future.

“Credit has to be given to the NFL players for suggesting a ‘three strikes and you’re out policy’, where three instances of poor behavior result in a lifetime ban. As for Jones – prison seems appropriate.”

“The NFL can be the first sport to draw the line. Legal precedent is not where the league needs to look. The sports world is not about legality. The sports world is about marketing.”

“The thinking of the players is that they are sick of the masses getting lumped in with the Tank Johnsons, and Pacman Joneses who are repeat offenders, and they want to send a message to these people that playing in the NFL isn’t their right – it’s a privilege.”

“Personally, I think they’re on the right path, although it should be one strike not three. Can you imagine any other business where you can mess up twice and still have another shot at keeping your job? No!”

“That is a start, but who else gets three strikes? How about we tell these rich, spoiled athletes to either give up their ‘posse’ or don’t play? It may be a dream, but if they want to play (or even just want the money) badly enough, it will happen.”
