HOW?

As many of you have heard by now the Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth pleaded guilty on Tuesday to manslaughter while driving under the influence of alcohol and was sentenced to 30 days in jail for the car crash that killed a pedestrian on Miami Beach. His jail term will be followed by two years of house arrest and eight years' probation.

Stallworth might even be allowed to play football during that time, if his community control officer and the NFL allow it, because people under house arrest are usually permitted to go to work or school, a spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade County state attorney's office said.

Donte will however be using the age old ANKLE EXPRESS (that means walking for all you squares) as transportation to the stadium because his driver's license has been suspended for life. "He cannot drive ever again for any reason. That is what the (victim's) family wanted..

Oh and lets not forget the mean old judge also ordered Stallworth to pay $10,000 in fines and perform 1,000 hours of community service. Stallworth’s blood tests showed he had a blood alcohol level of 0.126, well above Florida's legal limit of 0.08, when he hit and killed 59-year-old construction worker Mario Reyes.

HOW IN THE NAME OF BATPOOP CAN HE GET 30 DAYS WHILE MIKE VICK GOT 18 MONTHS FOR BANKROLLING DOG FIGHTS!?!?!!

Vick gambled on, fought and killed DOGS did he not? Since when is a HUMAN life less important than a DOG? The justice system is a total travesty!

Stallworth’s attorney said “He acted like a man, he reported it immediately to the police through 911, he remained at the scene, he co-operated fully with the Miami Beach Police Department,". I am not real sure but I have an eerie hunch Stallworth’s lawyer may be just a little biased.

Granted Stallworth accepted full responsibility for his actions and he did appear to man up, while Mike Vick denied it to the end and pretty much said I’m Mike Vick, you cant touch me, nana na na na na!!!

But still we are talking about DOGS as apposed to a HUMAN LIFE! There are no comparisons here. I know people love their dogs but this is totally outrageous.

Do NOT get me twisted here, I cant stand either of the players and this is CLASSIC UNIVERSITY, home of the OLDSCHOOL, where players play hard and shut up harder, where hustle and elbow grease are a unit of measure, where your own father will turn you into the po-po if you do something wrong....but fair is fair and a DOG is an ANIMAL and a human is…well a HUMAN!!

That used to account for something…not anymore I guess. I am a not an old man but it used to mean something in my day.
