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
