You know how impossibly hard it would be to get Obama to have a below 50% job approval? He will ALWAYS have a positive rating from 20% of the population. However, his job approval numbers are going in the opposite direction. It's not getting smaller, in fact... the opposition is getting larger. The number of people who disapprove of the job he has been doing is up 50% since he took office, and it is only rising.

If N. Korea fires this missile, and Obama doesn't respond militarily. Obama won't only be perceived as weak, he will be weak.

What about the hundreds of millions of people who's ancestors were still in Europe during slavery? Will this apology contain language that excludes them from it?

Nothing that has been stated about Stallworth's policy has shown it to be out of the ordinary.

If you knew anything, you would know that punitive damages can only be awarded by a jury. Even then, a judge usually rejects them, or severely limits them. Of course, with the ignorance you've displayed so far, i highly doubt you would have any idea about the application of such damages. Settlements are NOT considered punitive.

Do you even know what punitive damages are?

Umbrella policies are so dirt cheap because their deductible is usually around $300,000. (regular insurance pays up to that amount)

Well, douche bag, i have no problem with this ruling. Goodell has the right to impose whatever suspension he sees fit.

Wow, what a !@#$ B word whore.

So, if you shoot at someone and miss, you still shot at them. At this point its really semantics. They are shooting at Hawaii, but will say they aren't. If this missile even comes remotely close to any American territory, it should be considered an act of war.

So was the: Offensive line running game Tight end Anything else? Cause those 27 tds to 20 turnovers sure make Cutler look like he makes everyone better!

If N. Korea does this, there MUST be a swift response by Obama. Firing a missile at Hawaii is an act of war, and North Korea should pay dearly for it. We'll see if our government of pussies has the balls to respond to this. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/...ndence-Day.html

Jesus christs steely, he settled to avoid a lawsuit... not to get a lighter sentence. The insurance company has no vested interest in whether or not Stallworth goes to jail. They do, however, care about continuing to pay attorney fees, and possibly being hit with a larger judgment. The fact that the family was taken care of is only a by product of standard procedure in cases like this. Florio likely had no knowledge of Stallworth's umbrella policy, or he would have known that it would have paid all costs above $300,000. Plus, even IF stallworth paid anything, these settlements take into account someone's assets. So if it were you or me, we would have paid much less. It's on a sliding scale, so income is irrelevant.

Since he has an umbrella policy, he would be paying nothing. You know how much it costs to get a $5 million umbrella policy? $500 a year. Yeah, only the "rich" can afford that.

Its common knowledge. It doesn't take a genius to know these things.

You people are seriously !@#$ing dumb. straight from a !@#$ing lawyer. Your ignorance is starting to annoy me. http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/06/16/...ty-to-dui-only/ since Stallworth has an umbrella policy, the settlement (likely under $5 million) will be paid in full by the insurance companies.

Huh? Insurance companies settle with families who have had relatives die in DUI crashes ALL THE TIME.

He's a poster on the bb.com message boards.

Sigh, ignorance at its finest. The insurance company settled with the family so as to avoid a lawsuit. This board is full of idiots who know less than nothing about what they post.

The insurance company pays for your attorney, and so does the umbrella coverage. You should really crack a book on the subject before you make yourself look even more uniformed.

Umbrella coverage isn't expensive. You can get a $1 million policy for $300 a year. Stallworth was smarter than Joe Schmoe.

He didn't buy his way out of his prison sentence. His insurance company paid the settlement, the same would happen for any of us.

Yes, because cocaine + alcohol = alcohol, and NYS = Florida. Gotcha.

Gosh, i wish people would actually research the subject before they commented. listen to the first link: http://search.espn.go.com/roger-cossack/
