Stallworth stopped immediately, called the police and (stupidly) admitted he had been drinking. He accepted responsibility and recognized what he did was wrong and pleaded guilty.The guy is still dead, though.

The commissioner of the NFL wrote about Vick:

"You have engaged in conduct detrimental to the welfare of the NFL and have violated the league's personal conduct policy," Goodell told Vick"
Stallworth will soon hear the same words.

That's a morals clause.

Stallworth won't be playing in the NFL. Same reason.

Neither of these guys should be playing.Neither ever will again.

The point is they should play again. Both of these guys accepted what they did, and are willing to do whatever they can to make it right. I'm not even a Vick fan, in fact I've hated him most of his career, but christ let him come back already. Stallworth is getting off way too easy for his crime. Bottom line, people are way too up in arms about animals, and the legal system is all up on their ****s about it.

I can accept your opinion on that. No problem.

I disagree, though, because I think, even though it's show business, they have acted in an uncivilized and immoral way..both of them...and since it is such a high profile occupation that is based on a GAME that most children play, watch on TV and are familiar with they should be (and are) held to different standards than joe the carpenter.

Kinda like politicians...So what if they cheat on their wives?...
Well, I think if they can't control themselves and lie about it, then they aren't qualified to govern other people and they can't be trusted.

Of course we all fall short, but there has to be some sort of minimum standards upheld by the NFL.If people get the perception that it's a bunch of thugs and gangstas the revenue will decline...and it's all about perception...and money...
