Ooooh, this is serious. Expect him to run some extra stadium steps.

Don’t forget the jury party he will host afterward.

Jury Selection is everything, and is why I no longer have any confidence in the US system of justice.

I'm kinda surprised at this, in light of the news stories indicating that he had been so cooperative with the police that he even consented to a blood test at the scene.

I don't know which has a worse reputation right now for the NFL -- the Oakland Raiders or the AFC North.

No, not Pittsburgh Steeler great John Stallworth;
rather, Cleveland Brown wannabe Donte Stallworth.

have not seen anything on what actually happened in this incident, very hard to form any opinion on this. I have read the ped. was not in a crossing, but not much more.

I wondered how the Eagles managed to get him for a fourth-round draft pick from the Saints. He could make some awesome plays.

And why they didn’t re-sign him.

And why New England didn’t re-sign him.

My guess is he may have had a problem with the drinking for some time and teams knew it. I have no inside knowledge of that, but his career is consistent with the careers of other pro athletes who were alcoholics.

Apparently you missed the part where Stallworth had time to flash his lights at the man in the street to warn him to get out of the way of his speeding car.

I don’t remember reading that in the initial stories. Thanks for the heads-up.

Mario Reyes?

Do you get any bonus points for hitting drunk illegals?

And another thing. If these guys can afford 2 condos and a Bently, why not a driver?
