Donte Stallworth has accepted an invitation to workout from the Detroit Lions.
The last time we heard Stallworth's name, it was in connection with DWI and vehicular manslaughter charges.
For this, he was given 30 days in jail (of which he served 24), an extended probation period, and a permanent revocation of his driver's license. More notably to football fans, he was suspended for the entirety of the 2009-10 season.
Now with the season now behind us, the Browns have released Stallworth, leaving the well-traveled receiver once again looking for a new team.
Stallworth is an oft-shunned receiver looking for a team, and the Lions are a rebuilding team in need of receivers. The marriage makes sense, if it goes through.
But fans and Lions management alike should be careful of [...]

This is getting crazy. The New England Patriots will play their seventh undefeated opponent of the season when they visit the 10-0 New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. The Patriots started the season playing the 0-0 Buffalo Bills, 1-0 New York Jets, 2-0 Atlanta Falcons, 3-0 Baltimore Ravens, and 4-0 Denver Broncos. Of course, they played the 8-0 Indianapolis Colts in Week 10 on Sunday Night Football. The 1SKILLZ Gameplan will be released later in the week, but for now I wanted to focus on comparing the Saints' #1 scoring offense this season with that of the 2007 New England Patriots. That Patriots team scored an NFL record 589 points while going 16-0 in the regular season before losing Super Bowl XLII to the New York Giants 17-14.
This year's Saints are averaging 36.9 [...]

The media icon that is the NFL seemed to go from a league with players playing to win and get the prize inside every box (the Super Bowl) to a league that's been loaded with player conduct problems, divas, and players just in it for the money.
On Aug. 8, 2006, Roger Goodell was selected to succeed retiring commissioner Paul Tagliabue, voted on by 31 NFL GMs (Oakland abstained from all voting).
Goodell officially became the acting commissioner on [...]

Donte Stallworth kills a man, pleads guilty to the charge, and gets 30 days in jail. Somehow I don't think you and I would have gotten off that easily. In case you need your memory refreshed:
Stallworth, 28, was driving drunk when he struck and killed Reyes, 59, at 7:15 a.m. on March 14. Miami-Dade police said Stallworth was driving drunk and a toxicology report showed he had a blood-alcohol level of .126, which is above Florida's legal limit of .08.
Donte Stallworth is off extremely easy. There's no other way to put it. He knows it, the entire world knows it. I'm here to make another point rather than argue whether what he did deserved life in prison or not.
In terms of [...]
