Former NFL defensive lineman Dana Stubblefield pleaded guilty Friday to lying to investigators in the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative steroid case, making him the first football player charged in the long-running federal investigation.

Stubblefield, a three-time Pro Bowl player who testified before the BALCO grand jury in November 2003, was charged with making false statements to federal agents about his use of performance- enhancing drugs.

The plea deal calls for the 37-year-old Stubblefield to spend zero to six months in prison. He is to be sentenced April 25.

Stubblefield played for the 49ers, Redskins and Raiders from 1993-2003 and was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1997 while with the 49ers.

Thats a bummer. It seems at the 5 or so SF games I have been to with my wife (9ers fan) they really likes Stubb.
