So, violently beating the shit out of your child gets less of a punishment than smoking pot...

This was the Vikings reinstating him, The NFL has not punished him, yet.
Josh Gordon messed himself over because he CONSTANTLY had the same issues going on. The drug policy has just been redone. PLUS, if the rule book clearly states that you will receive a 8 game ban for smoking pot then why the heck are you doing it? That is on the idiotic player.

You're right in the fact that he knew the rules and took the risk. He deserves some sort of punishment. That fact remains though that marijuana being a banned substance is a ridiculously antiquated rule. It needs to be addressed. No matter how many offenses there are, it is a relatively harmless substance. Seems ridiculous that there could ever be a full season suspension for any marijuana related crime, really. (Except for maybe mass distribution)

Oh it is. Agreed on that. Just can't stand when people bring up the "Well this rule does X amount of games and this rule does X amount". Especially when the NFL did not even punish Adrian (yet, as in he may be punished later). This was the Vikings doing, deactivating their player. Would just make sense to wait and see what the punishment actually is before complaining.

Stop losing yards in the Red zone. So frustrating.

Adrian Peterson needs to do 2 things.
1) Stop beating his kids. 2) Stop having children. Then his problems will be solved |

The media just isn't going to let this go. They smell blood. They are going to rip and tear at it until it explodes. Somehow Adrian Peterson's attorneys and PR people have prevented this from destroying him thus far but Ray Rice is only going to be a story for another week or so and they are going to need somebody else to hang. Probably not looking good.
Don't beat your kids, y'all. |

It'd be a different story if AP denied and ran from authorities. he did admit to going a little too old school on his son's ass. I think he should have to serve some punishment though. Especially in a world where discipline is gone and everyone is righteous.

Peterson has been put on the exempt list and is now barred from all team activities until his legal issues have been resolved.

Of course, the Vikings are doing this now that they're faced with the threat of losing sponsorships. If not for that, Peterson would be playing this weekend.
Gotta love money. |

I wonder if all these revelations would cause the death of his other son to get another look, just to make sure.

Thought the same thing. But wasn't the understanding of that situation that it was his ex's boyfriend and that Adrian wasn't even around?

Allegedly. He could have went a little too far and they decided to let someone else take the fall.

These NFL players are real gems. I guess the fact that they can't even pronounce or say clearly the schools they went to hasn't been a sign.

Cards deactivated Dwyer indefinitely while he's been charged with hitting both his wife and child. Broke his wife's nose during the assault.
Reason it took this long was because the wife only filed charges last week and it took a while for the bulk of the investigations to be done. Still have more stuff being investigated. Quote:
Things don't get better for the Cards PR-wise since the player likely getting called up to replace Dwyer's spot also has a history of domestic violence problems. Quote:

I hope the Bucs can score some points. Can't have Atlanta going conservative and costing Julio Jones and my team points.

I'm not gonna pretend I didn't secretly think Tampa would be good too
Maybe I put too much stock in Lovie Smith Continually kicking to Hester, who of all people Lovie should know how dangerous can be, was just baffling |
