NFL Fines Pacman Jones For Not Tucking Gun Into Pants

NEW YORK—National Football League officials announced Wednesday that Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones has committed a uniform weapons violation and will be fined $2,000 for keeping his nine-millimeter Beretta handgun in his game uniform's belt and not tucking the firearm into his uniform pants as rules stipulate during Monday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. "This fine sends a clear message that there is no leeway when it comes the NFL's new firearms policy—if players have a sidearm in their pants while on the field of play, said pistol must be tucked into the front, back, or sides of said pants," a statement from the commissioner's office read in part. "Once again, the rule is clear: Players can carry up to five guns onto the field at any one time, but only if they are properly carried in holsters underneath their jerseys, in the aforementioned portions of their pants, or in their sock." Goodell also cautioned Jones to be mindful of rule 14b of the on-field uniform code, which states that one may shoot an opposing quarterback once and only once as long as the throwing arm is not targeted.

How stupid of that meat head football player. Why does a plyer need a gun on the field anyway?? Maybe he's scared of snakes??

I was under the impression that this ruling applied to semi-automatic and/or automatic weapons only...

From my understanding...revolvers were perfectly legal to be openly displayed and fired intermittently by offensive players in possession of the football and ONLY for defensive players weighing below 300 pounds...

As always FOR ME...Laughter is good medicine.

I like burnt rabbit over an open flame. River water. Also, dont pull my hair, that is so Neanderthalish. Oh yeah, I gave birth to three offspring. It hurt.
