This argument is going nowhere. Vick deserved every ounce of punishment he got. Stallworth deserved more.

Jim Brown: Marijuana involved in Stallworth accident

Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown, who remains a senior member of Cleveland Browns management, suggested on Friday that Browns receiver Donte' Stallworth was smoking marijuana on the evening/morning of the accident that claimed the life of 59-year-old Mario Reyes. Brown made his remarks during an appearance on 790 The Ticket's The Dan LeBatard Show. "This situation is a tragedy all around, but what was involved was alcohol and marijuana," Brown said. "On one hand, DUI is a very serious thing in America. Marijuana of course is against all the rules." Brown explained that he has some "inside information that says that that was also a part of what was detected," presumably in the blood test imposed on Stallworth. Brown said he's not "100 percent sure" that this is true, but Brown said he spoke with a "very reliable source" who shared this information.

This report comes out AFTER sentencing is handed down? Something pretty fishy about that....

The former woman beater - accused rapist on his soapbox 

[UPINTHEMGUTS]

Not only that but married to a woman that was more than half his age who he smacked around.

Yes Jim Brown is a wife beater, punk, louse, etc.  But what about Stallworth possibly being high and drunk when he killed the pedestrian?  That doesn't bother anyone?

You're missing the point.  We are bitching because yet another former scumbag is up on a soapbox "preaching".

i dont think being high would have changed his sentence.

[Dos Equis]

You're missing the point.  We are bitching because yet another former scumbag is up on a soapbox "preaching".

I didn't miss the point.  I acknowledged "Jim Brown is a wife beater, punk, louse, etc." 

My point was the Stallworth may have been drunk and high.  That doesn't bother you?   

[Dos Equis]

i dont think being high would have changed his sentence.

I wasn't suggesting it would.  Only wondering if being drunk and high would change the viewpoint of those who don't really have much of a problem with what Stallworth did.

Yes it does, but we are talking about Jim Brown being a fool who lacks credibility

Donte' Stallworth had marijuana in blood, sources say

After fatally striking a pedestrian on the MacArthur Causeway in a March drunk driving accident, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth also tested positive for marijuana use, law enforcement sources say.

Stallworth, 28, is serving one month in jail after pleading guilty last month to DUI manslaughter.

Miami-Dade prosecutors say his blood alcohol level was .126, well above the legal limit, when his Bentley hit and killed Mario Reyes, 59, on the morning of March 14.

Stallworth's test results, which have yet to be released, showed traces of marijuana, according to sources with knowledge of the results.

In 2007, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Stallworth was in the NFL's substance abuse program for an unspecified reason.

Browns WR Braylon Edwards didn't need this: Fellow WR Donte Stallworth relays that he had met up with Edwards prior to the fatal accident in Florida and put back a few Tequilas from Edwards' table. Stallworth and Edwards were partying around 2AM, and the accident occurred around 7:15AM, as Stallworth was driving out to grab breakfast.

[Dos Equis]

Put back a few drinks and smoked some weed.

Stallworth released today after serving 24 days in jail.  The ultimate slap on the wrist.  Very interested to see what the commish does.

MIAMI -- Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth has been released from a Miami jail after serving 24 days for DUI manslaughter.

His attorney, Christopher Lyons, said Stallworth was released from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center early Friday.

The 28-year-old Stallworth served 24 days of the 30-day jail sentence after pleading guilty to DUI manslaughter.

Stallworth's car struck and killed a pedestrian, 59-year-old Mario Reyes, in an early-morning crash March 14. In a recorded interview, Stallworth told police he drank up to four shots of premium tequila while partying with friends at a Miami Beach club, but did not feel drunk in the hours before he struck Reyes.

Lab tests later showed Stallworth had a blood-alcohol level of .126, above Florida's .08 limit.

Stallworth also reached an undisclosed financial settlement with Reyes' family, which factored into his relatively light sentence.

The receiver has been suspended indefinitely by the NFL. He signed a seven-year, $35 million contract with the Browns before last season but was injured much of the year, finishing with 17 catches for 170 yards and a touchdown.

Does he still get paid at all during this indefinite suspension?
