Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth has been suspended indefinitely by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Stallworth’s suspension is a result of his pleading guilty to DUI manslaughter when he hit and killed 59 year old Mario Reyes with his Bentley while Reyes was on his way home from work. Stallworth receives 30 days in jail for killing a man and Michael Vick gets 18 months for running a dog fighting operation and killing dogs. Something seems wrong about that to me.

It looks like Denver Bronco’s quarterback Jay Cutler is back pedaling from his earlier claims that he was demanding to be traded. He spoke with Fox Sports.com’s Jay Glazer at the UFC Fight Night 18 in Nashville Wednesday night and said he was shocked when he heard Bronco’s owner Pat Bowlen’s statement saying that Cutler would be traded per his request.
When new Bronco’s head coach Josh McDaniel took over and let word get out that he was trying to get then New England Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel that made Jay Cutler mad which I don’t blame him in the least.
Thats what started the whole mess,Cutler was feeling like he was unwanted and you can’t really blame him for feeling that way. Yet I don’t get why he’s telling Jay Glazer now all of the sudden that he never wanted to be traded.
It sure don’t make him look good in the eyes of the fans. He appears to be a spoiled rich athlete who’s not getting his way and now that the owner has called his bluff hes backing off the wanting to be traded talk.
