Donte Stallworth of the Browns could be in the shit, he hit and killed a pedestrian whilst driving his car last week in Miami and there are now unconfirmed reports that he was airlocked.

At least he wasnt drunk, then he could be in serious trouble.

ESPN reports Dante Stallworth charged with DUI Manslaughter which carries a Max of 15 years, most likely he is looking at 7 years.

what a fool, they should throw the book at him

heganboy · April 01, 2009, 08:56:01 PM

Im pretty sure that they will...

Oraisteach · April 01, 2009, 10:56:36 PM

If they throw the book at him, he'll probably bobble and drop it.

mc_grens · April 02, 2009, 10:14:16 AM

Not at all. He'll pull up with a torn hamstring about halfway to the spot the book is thrown to.

The Flyin Illini looked grounded last nite without their top player, WKU is a good solid team and can beat Gonzaga.

The best bets are in the first round, take the dogs with points and you are looking at a 20-45% return on the bets.

Cutler would look great in a Bears uniform after the Bears give Denver- Grossman and a couple of picks.

I should start playing the lottery with the ability to see into the future.

Bears win the Cutler race - giving up 2 first round picks, third round pick and Kyle Orton this year and first round pick next year.

Then Da Bears sign Orlando Pace to a 3 year contract to shore up the O-line.

Happy Days in the Windy City

Vick taking a job with a construction company next...do they really think the American public are that gullible.... wait a minute, ah shite!

Thtas a pretty high price to pay for Cutler, will Cutler look as good in Chicago as they have no receivers?

Galwaybhoy · April 03, 2009, 09:57:21 AM

Very disappointed that this has happened. I had imagined Cutler with Denver for the next 5-10 years!

Cant wait until the draft.

Broncos trade up to take Stafford at #1 ? Probably not. Broncos have a load of ammo now to trade up though.

Delighted to pick up Cutler... Now we got some1 to run it & some1 to throw it. Anyone out there that can catch a ball?!!

Dont see the broncos trading up in the draft! The guys on NFL Total Access were sayin that the if the Lions wanted Cutler Denver would prefer the #21 pick over the #1 pick cos ya gotta give a top 10 pick a lot of guarenteed money in his contract.

Bears need some more options at WR. at the minute Matt Forte is doing everything as well as running it.

GalwayBayBoy · April 03, 2009, 03:54:51 PM

Cutler should improve the Bears alright although they still need some receivers for him to throw to. Even without new receivers though you would expect them to make a push for the play-offs next season.

Broncos were stupid to let the row between them and Cutler get so entrenched. As well as having a woeful defence they have now lost one of the best young QB's in the NFL. Maybe they can get another one in the draft but now they have two big problems to fix.

turk · April 03, 2009, 04:52:38 PM

I wonder is Cutler a header. Surprising that the Broncos didn't explore every avenue to retain him, given the superb year he has had.
