I knew somebody would mention Vick.

Stallworth is gone, likely for at least this season. If not more. While I think the 30 day sentance is far too light for the crime, comparing this to Vick's crimes are apples and oranges. There are critical differences between them.
1) Stallworth immediately admitted guilt. Vick blatently lied and only conceded he was guilty after every other codefendant plead guilty and struck a deal to testify against him.
2) Stallworth was guilty of a state crime (DUI, manslaughter). Vick was guilty of a federal crime (racketeering) and a liteny of state crimes (animal abuse).
3) Stallworth's crimes were the result of a poor decision. He didn't wake up and decide he was going to kill someone that day. Vick's crimes were calculated and occured over year. He DID wake up MANY mornings and say "I am going to run a dog fighting ring that operates across state lines".

As for the coverage issue, Stallworth isn't a "name" player. Vick is/was. That Stallworth's story isn't making headlines is because his story doesn't "sell" as well as Vick's did. Simple as that.
