Does Stallworth need to be compared to the likes of a Michael Vick?

I posted an article Saturday about the fatal accident that Donte Stallworth was involved. I really have not heard much from the main stream. I guess with the NCAA tournament coming up the sportswriters have enough to write about these days.

The question at hand is: Does Donte now get put in the category with many other irresponsible Pro-Football players or was this just an accident and he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Was this pedestrian looking to get run over? In this economic time we live in that is all too possible.

I give people the benefit of the doubt and I think it was just an accident and let's get on with life. I feel very sad for the victim that died but an accident is an unscheduled event that touches many lives. I do not want any one to think there are no consequences over this event, there are and yet to be determined.

I just don't think that Donte should be labeled good for nothing football player. This certainly does not rank any where near the Michael Vick case or the New York Giant that shot himself in the foot or the likes of a Pacman Jones. Let Donte get on with his life with a safe driving class and community service and be done with it.

Thanks Jeff
