A Wednesday story from The Associated Press says that Cleveland wide receiver Donte Stallworth told Miami Beach police he flashed his car’s headlights to warn a pedestrian before hitting and killing the man in last month’s accident.
There’s a great deal we don’t yet know about the accident — not the least of which is Stallworth’s blood-alcohol level. Two sources have reported it was above the legal limit, but authorities have not confirmed that.
But my first thought about his flashing his lights is a question, and it IS a question, not a statement: If he had time to flash your lights, didn’t he have time to stop the car?

About Me
- Jim Gordon, The Anti-Fan
- I'm a journalist for The New Mexican newspaper in Santa Fe. I conceived the The Anti-Fan column for The New Mexican in late 1999 and have been writing it weekly ever since. It runs Fridays. The Anti-Fan was named the best sports column in the state in 2005 and 2006 by the New Mexico Press Association; the same years it also was named the best specialized column in the state — and the nation — by the National Federation of Press Women. Recently the column won a regional award from the Society of Professional Journalists. I'm married to freelance writer/editor Andrea Shapiro.
