Burress shoots himself and gets 2 years.NFL no longer makes any sense to me

What has this got to do with the NFL? The NFL didn't sentence Burress, Vick or Stallworth, the court system did.

I personally think that both Burress and Vick were made examples of. If they weren't pro athletes, they would not have gotten the time they did, they were used as deterrents to this type of behavior, plain and simple. They both deserved punishment... but, particularly in Burress' case, it was excessive.

In Stallworth's case, he didn't do time because he made a deal with the prosecutors to pay the family. You may not like it, but it happens EVERYDAY in America... IMHO the family is better off now with the money he paid, than with him going to jail. He was punished by forfeiting that money... now, if something like this happens again, then obviously he's a threat to society and should be locked up.

The NFL suspended Stallworth in accordance to their policies, so I'm not seeing what the problem is here?

That's why I posted my post... the guys paid the dues that he's been asked to pay... he's a pro athlete... he got signed... hopefully he'll stay on the straight-and-narrow and play football. Me bet is, he'll do well in Baltimore.

well if he stays clean then I wish him the best

      Kicker

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
