Stallworth is reportedly in stable condition, and suffered burns when the hot air balloon he was traveling in hit power lines. He was traveling in the hot air balloon with his girlfriend, and it's unknown whether or not she suffered any injuries as well.

The New England Patriots signed Stallworth in 2012, but placed him on injured reserve after New England's Week 14 win over the Houston Texans. Stallworth suffered an ankle injury after hauling in a 63-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady, and unfortunately saw his season cut short as a result.

The Patriots are believed to be interested in re-signing Stallworth, now a free agent

If it weren’t for bad luck, he’d have no luck at all.

If you have that kind of money, you can afford to “live on the edge”. You might also find out why they call it “living on the edge”.

Donte Stallworth seems like a nice guy, having listened to him get interviewed up here in New England. Seems soft spoken, reasonable and level.

He killed that guy, and has to live with it for the rest of his life, no getting around that. I hope the guy finds his way through all this.

Possibly you are thinking of John Stallworth, who was a great receiver (might be a Hall of Famer)

Probably so. I was wondering why he wasn’t retired.
