      For real though man. I've been listening to his stories for a couple years now, and it seems like he's just getting better and better. He puts aside his emotions enough to get you the entire story without bias, but he adds enough to get you more emotionally involved in the story. And he doesn't leave out information that would otherwise skew the perspective of the listener. I hope he's making a killing doing this, even if that was never his goal to begin with.

  • @hogrider7461
    @hogrider7461 Рік тому +123

    Honestly it was a crappy situation. However stallworth deserves so much credit for how he handled it. He admitted he was in the wrong, changed and is now advocating against drunk driving. Stallworth has my respect. I’m not sure if a single nfl player could’ve handled it as well as he could.

    • @danielcorreard3746

    Great storytelling as always. Stallworth was honestly one of the scariest receivers on the field because he could usually once or twice a game find a way to get behind every defender on the field. And he honestly seems like a real class act. I was one of the people defending him vehemently when he was charged, but our tendency to pick sides turned out not to be productive.

    • @janboblarry

    Bravo flemlo. Bravo. As an eagles fan, Dante was to me, a supremely underrated talent in a time in the league where the receiver position was absolutely stacked. I had no clue how great of a person he actually was in the aftermath of all of this - because like you said, I always remembered him for this incident. After watching this video, I now look at him as a perfect example of what it means to be accountable for your actions, and to truly do things because you think they are right, not for optics. Keep up the good work brother.

    I used to work in a coffee shop in DC that he is a regular at. He’s a kind and soft hearted individual. You would never expect that something this tragic happened in his life but you can tell he has big remorse for his actions and doing the best he can to make amends. He reached out to ruggs when he had his situation and I’m sure he’s active in current players lives to try and prevent something like that ever happening again.

    @bobbyj20110 10 місяців тому +1

    Thank you so much for this. As a family member of a victim of a tragic accident, hearing that Stallworth met with the family, took responsibility for his actions and plead guilty. I can say, I think I would have been okay with his plea deal and would have supported it.
    Yes, at first we were angry but also terrified and sad. I don’t think we ever hated the girl who caused the accident, but we did come to forgive her.
    Even if the lawyers never let us speak.
    You have got to forgive. You can’t let hate and angry run and ruin your lives.
    Having someone ask for your forgiveness, knowing he can’t replace what he took, knowing he doesn’t deserve it, but begging for it just the same…that’s big.
    I agree with you regarding that article attacking the family. It’s easy to imagine how you’d be…until you’re in it.
    Love your stuff. Thank you for providing a very human aspect to a game that seems larger than life!

    I used to drink and drive in my early twenties. I fell asleep behind the wheel and woke up just in time to swerve and avoid colliding head on with the highway support beam. I haven't done it since. I got lucky, I know I did. I won't waste this second chance. Don't drink and drive y'all, your life matters and we are not invincible.

    An NFL head coach once warned his players to avoid a few things to stay out of trouble:
    1. Don't drive over the speed limit
    2. Stay clear of drugs
    3. Avoid 2 types of women
    A. The women you don't know
    B. The women you DO know

    Love your video as usual Flemlo! You are a great researcher and story teller. I loved Donte Stallworth when we were lucky enough to have him on a crud team, I thought he was great, I remember the dui wreck and how well he handled it all, going out of his lawyers proposed defense of arguing that Reyes wasn't in a cross walk and so it was at least partially his fault, and Donte, being his mother's son, said no, I won't put this family thru more pain. Take the guilty plea and accept what the punishment is. He of course was torn apart, but he didn't make up what his sentence was going to be, the judge did...

    Wow as a browns fan I remember this vividly. I'm glad you did this video. There are a lot of things that I'm just now hearing about, because the way the media reported it ( mainly ESPN ) was " after a long night of partying".... That was clearly not the case. However, Flemlo, I would never stop short on a main thoroughfare. I would lay on the horn. The horn is the international symbol for do not cross.
