I agree. Infact not only should he have sat out the Vike Game. But during the Vikes game he should have had to run laps around the field with his pants around his ancles while sucking his thumb. (Like the fat Marine in the movie Full Metal Jacket.) Teach them the Marine Corps Way. |

The verdict is still out on Jolly, but its not looking to good. That's a pretty serious event. Actually, he was the one doing the drink throwing. http://sports.espn.go.co...fl/news/story?id=2907430http://www.greenbaypress...701/PKR01/307010015/1058Quote:Barnett is accused of knocking drinks from the hands of two women during an argument in the nightclub Wet, 344 W. College Ave., and throwing a cell phone belonging to one of the women against the wall, damaging the phone.
In a separate alleged incident about 45 minutes later, Barnett again confronted one of the women, allegedly threw a drink in her face and knocked her to the floor. Barnett left the bar in the company of another Packers player, the complaint said. |

I totally forgot about this situation as well. Glad he'll be able to participate in the opener against the Vikes. |

Packers' LB Barnett may play without pay Published: Thursday, August 21, 2008 11:49 AM CDT GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Linebacker Nick Barnett nearly was suspended one game by the NFL for his involvement in an off-the-field altercation last year. But after appealing the punishment, Barnett will be fined a week's pay but is allowed to play in the Green Bay Packers' Sept. 8 season opener. Barnett has talked himself into the idea that playing for free is better than not playing at all. I believe so, Barnett said. I was talking to myself yesterday and thinking about the steep fine and how much it was, but the league has to do what it has to do in order to keep the NFL in the right direction. It sounds steep, and me personally, I don't have anything on my record anymore, but it's the personal conduct (policy) and you have to abide by it. Barnett was arrested last June outside an Appleton, Wis., bar after a woman accused him of pushing her during an argument. He was charged with two misdemeanors, but reached a plea bargain in March that required him to remain on good behavior and pay a fine. http://beloitdailynews.c...ocal_sports/sports11.txt |
