Football 2009!

You know, I'm not sure how I feel about this. He did call 911 when it happened; he did take responsibility for the accident; and he's not one of those jerks like Burress.

The settlement was agreed to by all parties. The family didn't want this to be dragged on.

Do I think he should have spent more time in jail - yes. But I'm not going to blow a gasket about it, as this is what the family wanted.

Understood.

But what means does a working joe have to make a deal like that?

I just hate to see 'justice' perverted like that -all for the love of money.

A working joe would lose, big time - or have to sell his soul to the devil.

Another problem this decision will cause - now every stupid sports figure will want the same type of arrangement.

Burress' attorney has already begun -

Plaxico Burress should receive a lenient sentence based on what Donte Stallworth got.


Donte Stallworth got 30 days in jail for killing someone driving drunk, while Plaxico Burress is facing 3-1/2 to 15 years in prison for shooting himself in the leg.

And Burress' attorney, Benjamin Brafman, doesn't think that's fair.

In an interview Tuesday night on Sirius NFL Radio's Late Hits, Brafman made sure to point out the "real disparity" in those two cases involving NFL wide receivers - a disparity that's now part of his argument for leniency in Burress' victimless crime.

"Donte' Stallworth, who is I think a fundamentally decent man, took a plea in a DWI case in which someone was killed and the jail sentence there was 30 days," Brafman said. "There are other components to the sentence - there'll be probation and community service and house arrest - but they gave him 30 days and someone ended up dying.

"In our case there is no victim. So I think I have a powerful argument as to why there should be a lenient sentence here. I just haven't gotten the district attorney to agree with me yet."

Burress, 31, is charged with criminal possession of a loaded and unlicensed weapon in Manhattan - a crime which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 3-1/2 years.

Then, PB should make out a nice check to himself and everything will go away!

I love the law!

UGh,

I got to the US v. Brazil game for the Confed Cup. As I stated the game at the beginning of the 2nd half, I saw them give up a goal, I got nervous and went to the kitchen.....I heard the second goal from there and didn't see the game winner.

Great showing in a series the never did well in-US soccer sucks anyway-but this team may make a showing in the World Cup....

Steve McNair has been killed.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Former NFL MVP Steve McNair has been shot and killed. Titans owner Bud Adams confirmed the quarterback's death in a brief statement released Saturday.

Adams called him "one of the finest players to play for our organization and one of the most beloved players by our fans. He played with unquestioned heart and leadership and led us to places that we had never reached, including our only Super Bowl."

McNair led the Titans within a yard of forcing overtime in the 2000 Super Bowl.

Football must be close at hand.

I saw Jerry Jones on the TV, If he does not see his shadow at the 50 yd line of the new stadium, It means that training camp has already started?

Weasel....I meant groundhog!!!!!
