Re: Stallworth suspended for the entire season

Goodell isn't operating the same for every player. He reviews each case independantly and decides how to act accordingly. There is no standard that he set for how he reviews punishments or when someone's punishment is up.

As for Stallworth's punishment, well I can see why people would want a longer prison sentence but you really have to understand the legal system to know why he only served a month. It's all about evidence and how much the police can prove the extent of involvement, not about the truth of what happened. I don't believe Stallworth fits your average criminal thug type player blessed with great talent kinda profile. From everything I've ever heard or read he's a genuinely nice guy who obviously made a horrible mistake. He's paid his dues and done everything right and now he deserves a second chance. Obviously there will be those who say Mario Reyes didn't get a second chance at life so Stallworth doesn't deserve his but it is what it is. I don't see how anybody can be truly shocked at any step of this whole ordeal because it's how our society works.
