If we really believe that drunken driving is always a serious crime, then the only difference between that hypothetical player and Stallworth would be luck. Anyone who believes differently, subscribing to the theory that some people drive better than others while intoxicated, is a shameless fool, said Michael Bialys, LA DUI defense lawyer.
The fact that Stallworth served just 24 days in Florida for vehicular manslaughter after hitting 59-year-old Mario Reyes should be irrelevant to the commissioner. It isn't, because perception matters more than reality for a multibillion-dollar industry like the NFL. And too many believe that Stallworth committed the graver crime because he took a human life while Vick hurt and killed only dogs.
