SAN FRANCISCO -- Dana Stubblefield, a four-time All-Pro lineman who played 11 seasons in the NFL, pleaded guilty Friday to one count of lying to federal agents when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs as part of the ongoing BALCO steroids saga.
His sentencing is scheduled for April 25. The maximum sentence is five years in prison, but, based on sentencing guidelines and other cases, Stubblefield is likely to receive anywhere from no jail time to six months.
So that is a blurb on the back page of the sports/news sites.... Why is that?
Dana was a GREAT player whom lied to the authorities, but yet there really isn't much talk about this at all....
With all the 'roid talk, I would have expected more of an uproar on this one as well...
Almost as if it doesn't matter because Dana played football...
