Browns Receiver---Donte Stallworth---suspended indefinitely!

Roger Goodell decided to make a statement today by suspending Cleveland Browns receiver Donte Stallworth for the unforeseeable future. Something, seemingly, had to be done due to public outcry at what seems to be a REALLY reduced sentence for a DUI Manslaughter charge.

These are the details of the story as reported by ESPN.

After a night of drinking at a bar in Miami Beach's Fountainebleau hotel, police said Stallworth hit 59-year-old Mario Reyes, a Miami construction worker, who was rushing to catch a bus after finishing work at about 7:15 a.m. Stallworth told police he flashed his lights in an attempt to warn Reyes, who was not in a crosswalk.

Stallworth had a blood-alcohol level well above Florida's legal limit. He stopped after the crash and reported the accident. Police estimated Stallworth was driving about 50 mph in a 40 mph zone.

Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle cited Stallworth's cooperation and willingness to accept responsibility as factors in the plea deal. Rundle also said the Reyes family -- particularly the victim's 15-year-old daughter -- wanted the case resolved.

Stallworth also must undergo drug and alcohol testing. His driver's license was suspended for life and he must perform 1,000 hours of community service.

Stallworth has reached an undisclosed out of court settlement with the family of the victim. In addition, the suspension is effective immediately and as a result, the Browns will not be able to use the services of the seven-year veteran.

The Browns receiver signed a seven-year, $35 million contract before last season but was hurt much of last season, and finished the 2008-09 season with 17 catches for 170 yards and a touchdown.

What do you think? Watch the video and comment below. While Stallworth had a high blood alcohol level at the time of the accident, and is clearly at fault, does the victim share some of the blame? Let me know what you think.

Wide Receiver Plaxico Burress' trial has been postponed until September 23rd by Felicia Mennin. The postponement could possibly allow Burress to sign with an NFL team. According to Burress' attorney, the former New York Giants receiver can step on the field of play and perform . For those of you who may not know what happened, here goes. This, according to ESPN.

Burress shot himself in the thigh Nov. 29 in a Manhattan nightclub. He was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and faces up to 3½ years in prison. Burress could face a minimum of 3½ years in prison. He has pleaded not guilty and is free on $100,000 bail.

Outside court Monday, Brafman said it was "inconceivable" that Burress would face trial on the charge before 2010, said several teams were trying to sign his client, and "physically he's in the best shape of his life. He's ready to play."

According to the same report, Burress is negotiating with several NFL teams to return to the league in 2009 after the judge delayed his trial Monday on gun possession charges.

Burress made a brief appearance in court Monday, accompanied by his wife and attorney Benjamin Brafman. Judge Felicia Mennin adjourned the case until Sept. 23.

The big question is, will NFL Commisioner Roger Goodell allow Burress to play for an NFL team until time for his trial.

I say that he will. Burress has a right to earn a living and until the trial, there is no precedent set that precludes him from playing...at least for now. It's a matter of whether or not an NFL team is willing to give Burress a shot.

One team that could be a perfect fit would be the New York Jets. Same city, rookie quarterbackin Mark Sanchez who needs a good veteran "go to" guy, Burress needs a second in the chance, all of the ingredients are there.

But first, there's this one little hurdle that Burress needs to jump to make the leap to the Jets. See below. And let me know what you think about Burress to the Jets or whatever team you think would be a great fit.
