Re: Stallworth suspended for the entire season

I think a year suspended is a little much. I feel terribly for the deceased family but it seems like the guy illegally crossed where he shouldn't have. No death is deserved there and I think Stallworth isn't entirely to blame.

Year suspension is steep for something that didn't yield jail time. Funny, it's like the exact opposite situation of the Vick scandal. Stallworth killed a human, served no time, but is suspended for a whole year. Vick brutally kills animals, serves 1.5yrs, and his suspension is time served.

...Strange relation there.
Vick got time served because he was in federal prison plus the 4 games this year, and we have no way of knowing how long he would have been suspended had his prison sentence not interrupted those two football seasons. I think that if Stallworth had been sentenced to a year in prison (say from August 2009 - July 2010) he'd probably still be looking at a suspension for all of the 2010 season. But he only have to serve 20+ days in jail during the off-season so we'll never really know.
