Jones suspended for the entire 2007 season, while Chris Henry gets an 8-game suspension. Both will lose game checks as well for off-field incidents. Finally a sports league steps up and takes some action.

The interesing thing to watch from my perspective will be what the player's union does in response, and IF they file an appeal/complaint, how it will be resolved.

I believe the newly formed Union behavior committee had at least some say it the punishment.

Upshaw hasn't changed his tune. "We believe that these are steps that the commissioner needs to take and we support the policy," Upshaw said. "It is important that players in violation of the policy will have the opportunity and the support to change their conduct and earn their way back."


Fascinating....
