NFL: Commissioner Roger Goodell was right to indefinitely suspend Browns WR Donte' Stallworth
Unlike the high-powered attorney who represented Donte' Stallworth this week, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell doesn't mince words or debate the esoteric differences between a plaintiff's plea bargain and a court's guilty verdict. Instead, it is Goodell's sometimes thankless charge to protect the ...

Did Roger Goodell go too far?
Sharapova's Thigh — Earlier today Roger Goodell indefinitely suspended Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth. This came on the heels of Stallworth's sentence in Miami courts on Tuesday. The Justice system of the United States of America deemed Stallworth's malfeasance was worth 30 days in prison, 2 years of house arrest, 8 years of probation, and a lifetime suspension of his driver's license.

The question has to be whether Goodell actions are overzealous. I'll probably reserve my own judgment for when ...
