And to finish today's sports trifecta, a serious NFL question

[the_archfiend]

This is not intended to be a slam against anybody who's sickened by cruelty to animals (I happen to be one of those who is), but riddle me this:

Who's worse: this guy. who ended up spending a year and a half in prison for fighting dogs, or this guy, who got into a car while he was loaded and ended up killing another human being?

Discuss. And while you're at it, consider this idiot. He only shot himself and is, paradoxically, facing a longer sentence than what the other two idiots served combined.

Points taken. As stated before, it's not like Vick gets a free pass from me for being a dogfighting wackjob; it's just that Stallworth ended up essentially *skating* for what should be vehicular homicide (24 days? *24 days*?).

It also appears there are some mitigating circumstances in Stallworth's favor. The police at the time did not think Stallworth was impaired. Also the victim was in a location he should not have been. It's possible that the accident may have been unavoidable.

FYI: I'm shocked to find out that vechicular homicide is generally considered less serious that manslaughter.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicular_homicide)
