Donte' Stallworth May Have Been High on the Potgrass at Time of His Accident

Donte Stallworth marijuana hit and run manslaughter

Donte' Stallworth, in terms of how he will be treated by the American justice system, has moved past his crimes. He settled his DUI manslaughter case with the Reyes family -- and news that leaked out late last night might provide a pretty good reason as to why he settled so quickly.

Turns out that Stallworth, in addition to having imbibed in some alcohol before hitting Reyes with his car, also allegedly had marijuana in his system.

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.

Roger Goodell, folks, is no fan of crimes committed by NFL players. And when those crimes are compounded by additional criminal circumstances, well, the Commish becomes particularly displeased. Given that Stallworth killed someone while driving drunk and now has the additional "drug factor," which came into play after he was suspended indefinitely.

I'm not saying that Goodell won't let Stallworth back into the league, but I do think that you'll see the wideout removed from football for a lengthy period of time. Coupled with the Michael Vick and Plaxico Burress issues, Goodell has three very prominent cases in which to make examples of a few bad apples for the rest of the league.

Vick already paid his debt, he doesn't need a suspension from the league on top of his Prison time. The Prison time more than count for his "NFL suspension."

If the drug test results come back positive with Stalworth, He should be banned from the NFL for life. Especially if he was already in the drug program.

Plexico was just stupid and should get a 2-4 game suspension, nothing more.

Vick hasn't begun to face his League punishment yet. Prison time doesn't count. The League has a personal code of conduct. As for Plaxico, he is facing felony gun charges. Living in NYC has its downside.

There is an old adage....you can take the boy out of the country but you can't take the country out of the boy. with the NFL it's...you can take the boy out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the boy. excuse me, I have to go explain to my son about how it isn't OK to carry guns and do drugs.
