NFL Commissioner Yanks Dante Stallworth's Leash

Dante Stallworth may have gotten a slap on the wrist for his guilty plea in his DUI manslaughter case, but the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, stood up and said 'not so fast'.

"The conduct reflected in your guilty plea resulted in the tragic loss of life
and was inexcusable," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a letter to
Stallworth. "While the criminal justice system has determined the legal
consequences of this incident, it is my responsibility as NFL commissioner to
determine appropriate league discipline for your actions, which have caused
irreparable harm to the victim and his family, your club, your fellow players
and the NFL," Goodell said.

Goodell suspended Stallworth indefinitely without pay.

Breaking News: Dante Stallworth has reached a settlement

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Dante Stallworth has reached a settlement with the family of Mario Reyes, the man he struck and killed while driving under the influence. Stallworth struck Reyes with his Bentley as he was crossing the causeway early one March morning as the ballplayer returned from a night out in Miami Beach. Stallworth's blood alcohol level measured 0.126, well above Florida's legal limit of 0.08. Stallworth plead guilty just minutes ago to DUI manslaughter. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail, 10 years probation, and 1000 hours of community service. The amount of the settlement is confidential.
