Well, for those who didn't want Daren Stone back on the team after his huge penalty in the AFC Championship game, I guess you all got your wish. Frankly, I was willing to forgive him for the ONE boneheaded play given how well he had played all season. But, this suspension raises questions about character, and I'd rather not have the team waste a roster spot on a guy who will probably never crack a starting lineup, no matter how good of a special teams player he is.

WOW. It has to be a banned substance.

Edit

Nevermind its DUI, it looks like. If I were Stone, I would appeal this. Is this not the first time he's been in trouble? Didnt Marshawn Lynch have some sort of legal run in last season and didnt get suspended, until now after his second run in and his is only 3 games? There is a serious double standard going on here. Its only bad to get in trouble, if your not a popular player. I'd love to see how quickly Goddell would be to suspend one of the golden boys of the league, a L.T. or a Tom Brady.

I didn't even know he was a free agent; that makes things easier.

We should see if a battering ram is more powerful or Darren Stone being thrown through it by Ray on his way out.
