I like that the guy manned up and was resposible from the second the accident happened, but when all is said and done he both broke the law and was found guilty of doing so.
I applaud Goodell on being tough enough to punish Stallworth. I do wonder if this sets a new precedent for NFL players being charged with DUI? How many NFL players a year get charged with drunk driving? The difference between them and Stallworth is that Stallworth hit and killed a pedestrian. The pedestrian in Stallworth's case was jay walking across a freeway. Will Goodell have the courage to suspend every NFL player that gets charged with a DUI for the entire season from now on?
