By the standards I've seen its a penalty. 4 games. C'mon if that is the standard you better watch it. You could have a damn good player on a legit contender watching playoffs if that is precedent.
Ummm why is there no mention here of his numerous prior infractions this season? Not saying I agree or disagree with the suspension, but he was tossed out of an earlier game and has had numerous roughing penalties.

It looked worse in real time. On the replay, you can see Jackson hit Musgrave with his shoulder, not his helmet. Refs obviously keep an eye on guys previously fined and penalized, and that applies to Jackson unfortunately. Not his first issue with roughing this year - or 2nd or 3rd.
That matters because refs are now going to be eyeballing Pickens for any unsportsmanlike. Need him to knock it off.
