STALLWORTH UPDATE

T.O.?
-
Well here we go...Stallworth, welcome to the football ranks of OJ Simpson, Pacman Jones, Mike Vick and Terrell Owens.
Looks like we are gonna need another reciever. I hope that, if he was intoxicated, he does get the full prosecution of the law. Drunk drivers need to not exist.
what did T.O. ever do off the field
This will probably drag out for awhile so he might still be on the team when the season starts

I didnt say anything about off the field. You might have implied that I was saying that, even though all I did was give example of notoriuos football players.
My father said that we might resign Jeruvicius, even though I think we are going to wait till the draft and sign Michael Crabtree.
And Tory Holt is still out there my friends.

T.O. signed in Buffalo.... This is really turning ugly... I was hoping he would able to be productive for us this year and it's not looking like he will see the field at all... I'm hoping he wasn't drunk while driving. Call a cab or a friend or some form of DD there is no reason for this. It's truly an ugly situation for all those involved. I"m saying he deserves whatever punishment he receives because there is no reason to ever drink and drive... Hopefully one day he will be able to recover from this but it looks like his playing days are done.

Does the NFL give compensatory picks for stuff like this?

If he gets charged with a blood test as evidence then he is suspended until found guilty and then I'd bet they void the contract so it lessens the cap hit. He will not be on this team under indictment.

That Sucks. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy, having to face the fact that he killed someone while being legaly drunk. Of course .08 is what 2 beers?
Many dont realize that you can party till midnight, and get up at 7 and go to work, and still be over the limit. Have a wreck on the way and get charged with a DUI. Sucks dont it?
Considering Stallworth couldn't swerve out of the way will halp him. The other thing that will determine if he is charged with manslaughter will be how high of an blood alcohol level he had at the time. over .13 I would think he is screwed.

When I was in the military a dude from my 'flight' in boot camp went out and killed a dude drunk on leave...eventually it killed him in the end; by his own hands after a time in prison
This whole thing is tragic
-
I also saw information where the pedestrian may not have been in the crosswalk.. so maybe stallworth is NOT dui just a bit foggy and the guy was doing something dumb... Lets wait on all the facts... but your right.. you can wake up after a night of drinking and still blow dui on a breathalizer. Let's hope he is under the .08 when the facts come out.. I repeat.. when the facts come out.
-
I read somewhere stallworth admitted to drinking the night before up to midnight.. That could be good or bad news. also it is not confirmed that the pedestrian was or was not in the crosswalk.. so this could go many different directions. No matter what it is a trajedy for all parties and families

Looks like there's a history of Mr Stallworth having trouble with laws of the road, which might explain why some aren't as patient or willing to think innocent until proven guilty. What if the victim of this avoidable death was in your family - would you still want him to get all the slack an avid Browns' fan thinks he should have?
If this guy was a Ratbird or a Steeler - people would be calling him a scumbag in this scenario. Instead, he's an overpaid Brown that couldn't give the first crap about producing for the franchise overpaying him. We should be reading about his offseason commitment to the program that just gave him a bonus of 4-5 million $ in today's economy. Instead he's out getting liquored up putting his life and others at risk. Don't pray for Stallworth - pray for the guy he killed and the family he devastated. He'll just get the same slap on the wrist Leonard Little got.

Flug's with a response like that.. I guess I will add you to my prayer list too. God bless all of you.

Don't bother! Faith is a journey not a guilt trip.
If you remember I was the one feeling bad for the victim and his family. We keep playing leapfrog with the reality somebody got killed in this story.
The victim and his family do not get a second chance in this one so it doesn't matter how air tight with Jesus you are in this one horse. Lazarus was a LONG time ago. Meanwhile, Stallworth will get the same slap on the wrist Leonard Little got.

Either way a dude passed due to the whole situation

I'm sure that the people involved in this tragic accident will feel better knowing that the Steelers won their sixth super bowl as it will be such a comfort to them in their time of need.
How pathetic.

I see he deleted his post....It's too late. Kcrane......You may be the lowest of scumbags.
You love it that a person lost his life and that a person could go to jail. Total scum.
I don't know if this site ever bans people, but if there was ever a reason to, you have it.

In fairness to our intelligence
I would take a chauffer driven limo after the freakin party .
Get real dude
My attempt at bringing levity to the situation was clearly lost on the über-serious.

Poor Judgement was used in your post.

I think you're all correct in reserving judgment until the facts are in... and all seem to recognize just how big a tragedy this is for everyone.
That being said, I can't help but wonder how Browns fandom would be reacting to this if he were a member of the Steelers.

ugggh....let's not consider it.
Regardles of Stallworth's condition it's an absolute tragedy. For Donte's sake (even if he were a squealer), I hope he was not impaired at the time.
When I first heard the news on WKNR, they said he was wanted for questioning and there apparently was damage to the front of his Bentley. It made me think he possibly left the scene. Since then, stories coming out do not seem to indicate this. Which is good, that's one less worry. If he had, I figured it would be so they didn't discover an unlicensed firearm in his car. And that, would create issues for him even if he was found to have no fault in the accident. I say this to demonstrate how quickly one can jump to a conclusion or at least have the wheels start turning. Let's wait before we string him up.
While we are rightfully awaiting further information before we make a judgement, and sending our condolences to the family of the victim, it's only natural we will speculate as to what this means for Donte and the Browns.
Obviously I don't know Donte, but it's hard to imagine he was heading to the beach at 7 in the morning to get a few miles in, you know, gearing up for training camp. I don't know what direction he was heading, but if it was IN the direction of his condo, then it makes it seem more likely that it was in fact a very late evening for Mr. Stallworth.
Not casting blame, just being realistic. I'm hoping he was on the way to see his personal trainer because he was severely disappointed in his performance last year and vowed to never miss a game due to poor gameday preparation. I'm also hoping the only thing they find in his system is distilled water and a whey protein shake.
Maybe it's my cynical side or just the headlines we see almost daily filled with athletes or so called stars (Lindsay Lohan anyone?) that are having legal issues, but I feel like my first scenario is most likely. Croosing my fingers and hoping it's not.

I'll be honest, my first thought was I hope we cut him and he never works again, but then I had a chance to stop and think it over.
If it was DS's fault, he was drunk and pulled a Leonard Little, I hope the guy gets jail time for what he did.
If it was the pedestrian's fault (jwalked out into the street while plastered) then I hope DS walks and learns to be more cautious on the road.
If it was a Steeler, Raven, or Bengal I'd have the same initial snap reaction and then calm down and look at what happened.
It's a tragedy and if it were one of the members of my family I'd be wanting to see someone's head before all the facts came out just from emotional distress and may never come to terms with what had happened.
You see there is a big difference between a guy like DS doing something like this, a guy who has had a clean record his life, and a guy like Leonard Little who has a history of drunk driving. We tend to jump to conclusions more often with the latter because so often it is a spoiled athlete that thinks he's above the law, and sad thing is these guys usually walk or pay a fraction of the cost one of us would if we did something like that.
