Building for the Future
As the 2009 NFL regular season comes to a close, it is time for teams to start prepping for the playoffs, while the less fortunate will begin rebuilding for next year. While most teams who missed the playoffs will be looking to rebuild and start from scratch, others have more reason to be optimistic for the future. One of these teams that may be poised to make a run next season is the Cleveland Browns.
The Browns have already made several moves throughout the course of the year, including trading Braylon Edwards and hiring Mike Holgrem as the President of Football Operations, in an effort to prep for next season. Despite their mediocre record, the Browns showed signs of life at the end of the season, reeling off a string of wins to closeout the season. There are ample reasons for Cleveland fans to begin investing in Browns jerseys for next season, including a top five pick.
Stallworth Awaiting a final Decision
“I recognize that there is a difference between the legal standard in my criminal case and the standard to which NFL players are held,” Donte Stallworth said. “It is clear that I exercised poor judgment and caused irreparable harm to Mario Reyes, his family, the NFL, its owners, coaches, employees and to my fellow players.”
Expressing his remorse with words that reflect a sense of sincerity and thought behind accepting the punishment that NFL commissioner Goodell had laid forth after indefinitely suspending Stallworth from the league.
However, after being released from jail after serving just 24 days for a DUI conviction it is said that Goodell is set to rule on the matter March 14, and will consider the facts.
NFL Have Options for Dante and other NFL Players
With the leagues car service setup for players it would seem illogical that any player would pass the opportunity to pass up a safe ride. Perhaps too much pride comes into account as a cab ride is not as boss as gripping the steering wheel of the latest and greatest high performance whip. There must in fact be more to this story as it is said that there is literal distrust to the service.
“No thanks, you’re probably just going to use it to ramrod me at contract time.”
Not only this issue being the cause of some alarm, some sources are bent on trying to shed some relevance to the fact that Donte’ Stallworth may have had marijuana in his system. What was regarded as a slap in the face by anyfollowing the incident and proceedings has been at least moreso justified by the NFL and Cleveland Browns’ decision to indefintely suspend Donte’ Stallworth.
“This situation is a tragedy all around, but what was involved was alcohol and marijuana,” Brown said. “On one hand, DUI is a very serious thing in America. Marijuana of course is against all the rules.”
Money Talks for receiver Donte’ Stallworth
Drive a Bently, Drive Drunk, Have deep pockets and NFL fame to boot, you may just get the boot…set aside.
Family members of Mario Reyes will spend the rest of their lives without a husband and father. 59 year old crane operator Reyes was simply heading across the street to catch the bus home from work around 7:15 am.
It is however more then just a simple 30 days – it is 30 days that is merely an inconvenience, possibly two years of house arrest following eight years probation for freakin manslaugher. With that being said, he does get to continue breathing. Stupid decisions happen including accidents involving people’s lives and their love ones, but how bitter sweat is the conclusion when you have the money to make a deal.
The jaywalking technicality has a huge factor in the deal but it goes to show that the court system can be outbid by the acceptance of greed. Surely a hard decision for any family, after all the loved one is gone and the struggles could be gone but the undisclosed amount of money paid in order for the family to refrain from filing a civil suit sheds light on humanities end result.
Cleveland Browns Code of Conduct
The Cleveland Browns laid down a code of conduct with regards to fan behavior as a part of a league-wide crackdown. Fans complain about foul language, fan on fan harassment – oh boy, and other inappropriate incidents associated with being rowdy.
“if you want the X-rated stuff, go somewhere else.” said the NFL’s vice president of security, Milt Ahlerich.
At the Browns Stadium in particular the number ejections and arrests have tripled compared to just a year ago stemming from the decision of staff not having to warn misbehaving fans. Later letters are sent heading a notice that ticket-holders are responsible for whom ever sits in their seat and their season tickets could be revoked.
