Will Pacman ever learn?

There is an underlying question about this story.

What was Pacman Jones doing in Las Vegas? Really, Pacman? Come on. The guy went to Las Vegas for Labor Day weekend to gamble, while there was still a chance that he would be facing felony charges in a shooting in the same city. While Jones was in Vegas, his Tennessee Titans teammates were preparing for the 2007 season. Jones, of course, was free to vacation because he was about to start a season-long suspension. A major reason for his suspension was the episode in Vegas.

And the guy goes back there to gamble?

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell watches Jones' every move. While this case likely won't result in any league violations, Goodell likely isn't happy to hear that Jones felt comfortable to go back to Las Vegas. With Jones' future in Goodell's hands, that could be an issue
