The lawfirm of Greenberg Trauring is representing Adam "Pacman" Jones in his appeal of the NFL's 16 game suspension.
Because Commissioner Roger Goodell cited only 3 incidents (and the failure to report one of them) in his suspension of Pacman, Pacman's lawyers point out that other players received less severe punishments for more frequent and more serious offenses.
With their appeal they presented this document, which lists every arrest of an NFL player this century. It takes up 22 pages.
Do both players and teams have an obligation to report offenses, if so, perhaps it is the failure to report that is more serious than the crime itself, thus distinguishing this case from others
