Bengals LB Thurman will miss another season

CINCINNATI (AP) Odell Thurman's petition for reinstatement was denied Thursday by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who decided that the Cincinnati Bengals middle linebacker should miss another season because of his ongoing problems.

Thurman was suspended for all of last season after skipping a drug test and later being arrested for drunken driving. He asked Goodell to reinstate him for the 2007 season, but was turned down.

Thurman will be allowed to ask for reinstatement again following the season.

Goodell's decision leaves the Bengals with two suspended players as they open training camp. Receiver Chris Henry also will miss the first eight games for repeatedly violating the league's conduct policy.

The Bengals are the league's prime example of misconduct, with 10 players arrested over a 14-month span.

cant really knock the suspension

Thurman failed the substance abuse policy and he got hit with a 6 game suspenison.. right after that he got a DUI and clipped a minivan that had a 2 kids and a mom driving

I think he probably has another pending case that isnt in the medias eye which is why hes hit with another year and Henry, only 8 games

Goodell is straightening up the NFL so it doesnt become a travesty like the NBA
