Goodell: Suspended WR Stallworth will be reinstated
By Steve Wyche | NFL.com


FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth will be reinstated to play at some point after Sunday's Super Bowl, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Friday at his annual state-of-the-league address. Stallworth was suspended without pay for the 2009 season last August after reaching a plea agreement on a DUI manslaughter charge in Miami.

Stallworth, who was under the influence while driving, struck and killed a pedestrian while driving on a causeway connecting Miami and Miami Beach on March 14, 2009. He served 24 days in jail and was placed on house arrest. Goodell did not say exactly when reinstatement into the NFL was forthcoming but it seems sooner, rather than later.

Goodell said he met with Stallworth for 45 minutes to an hour before the Dolphins' final regular-season game in Miami, where Stallworth lives. Goodell added that Stallworth seemed to be remorseful and worthy of reinstatement. Their conversation helped seal the reinstatement, Goodell said. Once Stallworth is re-instated, it will be up to the Browns and new team president Mike Holmgren as to whether the team wants to retain the receiver.

Amazing. You can break the law, kill someone while breaking the law and convince your boss in 45 minutes that you deserve to keep your job.

Goodell is easy....Mike Vick/aka Ron Mexico, not to mention the Bengals.

Well the sad part is that his NFL punishment was longer then his actual punishment. He was suspended for a year, but only did 24 days in jail...now wheres the injustice?

Less than a month in jail? I'm waiting for someone to top it-perhaps a mass killing then 3 months at a club med then back in the league so he can feed his family...
