Wednesday Walk Around the NFL: 6.17.09

OK, OK, lest there be any confusion, it's me, your old pal jrs1940. Following the lead of the man who holds it all together for us here at Big Blue View, my guys and I over at Blueshirt Banter have changed our screen names to our real names. Now before we get to the Wednesday Walk, let me just tell you that I've heard all the jokes about my last name:
- "Jeez, can I buy a vowel?"
- "Boy your teachers must have hated you"
- "Good luck fitting that on the back of a jersey?"
- "Is that German?" (I love this one, I always reply "No its Japanese-Irish"
OK, so with that out of the way, let's get to the news making headlines around the NFL:
- Tony Romo is FAT! Well not really fat, maybe pudgy? Portly? Chubby? Husky? Thick? Big-Boned? Rotund? OK, well maybe that is an exaggeration, but the Cowboys did tell him to get in shape, and as far as I am concerned, it serves that Fat Bastage right for ruining my girl. (see right)
- Once again the justice system has proven that if you have enough money, you can get yourself out of any trouble. Dante Stallworth was sentenced to THIRTY DAYS for DUI Manslaughter yesterday. He faced up to 15 years. After prison, he'll serve two years on house arrest, eight years on probation, and 1000 hours of community service. His driver's license will face permanent suspension. That's 30 days guys, not even the entire month of August. In some years, he could go to jail the day after Thanksgiving, and be home for Christmas. Once again makes me proud to live in South Florida.
- The NFL has extended the Rooney rule to include front office hirings.
- Is new Denver head coach Josh McDaniels alienating his star players? CBS Sports Mike Freeman thinks so.
- John Clayton at ESPN says Jake Delhomme still fits the Panthers mold.
- Ryan Leaf, fugitive at large.

Stallworth walked
I can’t believe he got such a light sentence for killing someone. Didn’t Bradshaw serve more time for stealing a stereo?

Can't believe Stallworth got 30 days for irresponsibly acting...
resulting in the death of another human being through his own fault. Could you imagine if anyone else (ie not rich) did it? You would get zero sympathy from anyone (maybe your own family… maybe) and you would be bubba the prison king’s cellmate faster than you can say “NO NOT THERE!”. Pathetic.
As for Jessica Simpson, I am not seeing the problem there… she actually looks like a real, healthy human being (as opposed to a walking coat stand).

Amazing
This is not meant to be a joke but if you’re ever caught in the unfortunate situation of drinking, driving and killing someone, just tell the cops and courts that you’re an NFL player. Seems to be a free pass for these guys. If that were me, I’d be having my acehole sewn shut because I know where I would be headed and it’s not mini camp.

If this is a "walking coat rack"
Then let me get my parka
If I want to see a real healthy looking human being, I’ll watch The View.

So you fellas like unhealthy women?
Gross is all I can say.

what part of her is unhealthy in that picture? I see tan skin, beautiful blonde hair, legs that go all the way up, and a great set of lungs. Granted I’m not going to discuss foreign policy with her, but I’d make do without deep conversation.
Before Romo got to her she was one of the finest specimens the Good Lord ever put on canvas.

Stallworth trial not light sentance.. bad law in Florida
Before i get killed me and the German over there both live in South Florida, and I’m sure he knows the laws on DUI’s are more geared towards taking your money and license away not jail. Even in a vehicular manslaughter case when a guy is DUI its fair to say he would sereve more jail time then Stallworth but he would get no where near the probation time and never house arrest. Just a blow in the tube ingnition starter for his car, becuase even with a revoked license in Florida you can apply for a harship license to drive to and from work.
Now to get to the point, Yes Stallworht killed a man and it’s sad no doubt, but because of Florida’s light laws on DUI and manslaughter all together the prosecution’s hands were tied. They never would have made the deal if they thought they could have got a longer jail sentence for Donte. The problem was they guy was standing in the middle of the road on a freeway, right before the A1A bridge and if you know the South Beach location that is no place for a pedestrian at any time. The pedestrian in the case broke the law and so did Donte, i know Stallworth’s was way worse of an infraction but problem is he could have easily won the case because of dumb Florida laws.
I had a friend in a similar case except he was on a controlled substance but because he had a good lawyer and they guy was jay walking he walked wiht 2yrs probation and almost 40grand to the state. This was a trial not a plea bargain and my friend is not a superstar although he is rich. Plain and simple cases like this in Florida the punishment never fits the crime, but for some reason everyone is happy when they get there checks, Miami-Dade County/Miami-Dade Police and the family with the loss. Don’t forget the family had to agree on donte’s plea deal.
Seems to me there is more to this case then we know or are ever going to know. Like was the pedestrian suicidal? On Xanax, Zoloft, Beat wife and kids, past criminal history, Maybe and just maybe the family didn’t want to stand trial and have dirty laundry aired and Donte took advantage of it. Who knows when a plea deal is struck that information is hard to come by.
One other thing in this book, I think alot of people miss the worst thing about this case(besides the death of a human) is the fact that Donte ran, he didnt attend to the guy to try and save him. Call 911 get emergancy crews there immediately, he might never have been charged and if he looked like he was sober he might never had a blood alchol test taken from him in the first place. BTW Always refuse to take the test, that is unless you know your sober(that is when in south florida). I have many friends unfortunately with some bad DUI cases, multiple offenses, and they still drive today maybe sereved 2 days and were released. I was in the car for one of them and we ran a red light and nailed to other cars, hard, i will never drive drunk because of what can happen since i know first hand by being involved. The county leans more towards making money then justice. Sorry for writing so much.

Are we all taking on the real name approach or is that just for the BIG DaWGZ?

Don’t worry about it, gobs. It’s really blogger preference for the writers, that’s all.

Gobs the word on the news is the family just didn’t want to see it become a media circus, as things tend to become down here (see: Smith, Anna Nicole, still the most ridiculous moment in South Florida news history)

Exactly
Which means maybe just MAYBE they dont want information released that puts the loss of their family member in a bad light any way possible, there are young kids in that family and they dont want to make them or the older family members have this drag out, they would like to grieve and move on i’m sure, no amount of money fixes this issue. Ever.

I was at that Chilli Cookoff, was hungover by the time she took stage but i was in the crowd right up front with two chicks that love her and they couldn’t believe how umm “Thick” she got… Damn good fried chicken i bet though…

So many things...
The problem with Pork Chop Simpson, is that she did get a tiny bit heavy, then whined because people point it out. You are a “celebrity”, you live and die by the spotlight, if you don’t want to be accused of washing with a rag on a stick, put down the effing pork rinds.
AND – God also had a hand in her size for dating a Cowboy.
Is it September yet?

And call me crazy, but my wife was watching that True Blood the other night, and I got to see Anna Paquin (sp?) in various states of nakedidity, and I was impressed

Nakedidity
The thing people always lose sight of is, we ain’t saying Jessica Biel is not smokin hot, but compared to other top models and actresses, she’s a 9, that’s all! That’s all I’m sayin!
For me, some of the best faces I’ve seen out there are Neve Campbell (sometimes she looks funny, I know) and Kate Beckinsale. But overall, the chick I would lock my wife in the basement for has to be Adriana Lima:http://blogs.nypost.com/popwrap/photos/Adriana-Lima—1_GQcover.jpg
