Mad,
I like your point about baby momma raising a narcissistic little bastard. I also like your point that many of us here, as middle-class Americans have it so good we don't know how good we got it.
Rest assured, I KNOW how lucky Americans are. And beating the fuck out of your kid with a stick don't fly, no matter one's position in the socio-economic spectrum.
I've spent enough time in shitty neighborhoods in the Central Valley to know how fucked shit is. This isn't political, don't ban me. Or you can ban me, I don't really give a fuck.
Wow. I have disciplined my kids but not by ripping a tree branch and whaling on them with it. Corporal punishment is OK IMO, but the extent that was outlined was over the line.
So, though it is far less important than the event in Texas, how does this affect the Vikes now?

No "TROLLS" allowed!
Part of the reason the world is so fucked up is people can't discipline their kids. In my case the threat and execution of getting my ass whipped with a belt did indeed keep me in line. But whipping the living shit out of a four year old is not now nor will ever be acceptable.
So while Mad is right sort of, there are degrees of things and this line got crossed far and wide from where I sit.
Agreed, Ras. Discipline is key. Discipline. Not abuse.
Digital, that my friend is a good question. As I am bored as hell I will pontificate on the subject.
Adrian Peterson is not yet over the hill so this will sting (no pun intended). There has been alot of debate in Minnesota of how the Vikings can justify his cap numbers given the devaluation of the running back in the NFL. I believe next year or the year after is the sweet spot for dumping his contract. Normally RBs fall straight off a cliff at 30. He's 29. Peterson is no ordinary dude. I bet he has a at least 2-3 more productive years in him so this hurts the Vikings alot in the short term. If they get out from under his contract at the end of this year they will have alot of flexibility so it isn't a killing blow at all, but does damage them this season in my opinion. McKinnon looks like he could be a dynamic back and Banyard looked good the last couple pre-seasons but let's face it......there will be a big drop off.
I'm curious to see how they handle this. They would be perfectly within their rights to let the legal system take it's course and let him play after this weekend but the Wilfs might take a dim view of trotting him out there given the charges and the leaked evidence.

I never did anything really bad...I stayed out late or snuck off when I was supposed to stay in the yard....scared the shit out of mom. Pretty minor stuff but the norm was to spank your kid. Hell...in school the principle still had paddles in my time. That said I never got the switch/hotwheel track until I was able to understand what i was getting wooped for. You put a 4 year old in the corner and take the toys away....you don't beat them.

Sorry to see this thing go down, Ras. I've always had massive respect for Peterson and defended him when he said some awkward things (kind of like Reggie White with his stereotyping speech; his heart was in the right place). Much respect to you for coming here and addressing the situation.

I was really accepting of your post until that last part. That's why I hardly get into threads anymore because it always comes up. Guess I just expect more from some folks.
Indeed. Ras is a Man.
Thanks for the kind words Harv and George.
I think it's a tribute to this forum that there can be a discussion without a bunch of childish barbs going back and forth. This is to a lesser extent shocking to me like the allegations against Darren Sharper. Say Sharper stayed with the Packers and just retired, what kind of dink would post "Ha Ha, you guys are clowns, Ha Ha"
It's serious shit and does kind of rise above the hate we feel for each other on sundays....
I apologize if I offended. If I was being patronizing or otherwise. That was not my intent.
Let's sing we are the world. Then we can discuss football and insult each other there.

someone should be checking bridges in new york, just to make sure he jumps
if i knew he was in the UP or wisconsin, i would be driving around with a loud speaker on my roof, telling him that his mother was pro abortion after she had him. or that his father went to the grave wishing he had a daughter instead, so it would be easier to explain to his friends why his child was a giant fairy pussy
just in case he had any doubts about jumping
I can't believe he was the winning sperm.
