Far be it from me to defend drunk driving, especially drunk driving with such tragic consequences, but I don't see equivalency between one night of utter rank stupidity and carelessness to years of willful covert operation of a massive dog-fighting ring (let alone the 'getting his hands dirty' aspect - killing dogs by his own hand - that gets a lot of people). Donte Stallworth's crime was awful and he should be punished but comparing it to Vick's is really apples and oranges. A better comparison to Vick would probably be some of the frequent wife-or-girlfriend beaters who remain perpetually employed by their clubs because their skills are great enough and/or the NFL and sports media don't really want to draw more attention to some of the violent things their athletes do off the gridiron. With this group there is the same level of intent and, with at least a couple, the long-range perpetration of horror.
