Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
And from what I read, AP is fully co-operating with the law because he essentially does not think he did anything wrong. A 200 lb plus football player punching a 4 year old IN THE FACE. NFL having a bad week...

Some tidbits like AP is apparently not an expert in how to use a switch (genius resorting to violence to discipline a child doesn't know that the end of the switch, like a whip, is traveling fastest, not the blunt middle he was probably swatting into his backside with):
Here is the bit about being punched:Peterson also allegedly said via text message to the child’s mother that he “felt bad after the fact when I notice the switch was wrapping around hitting I (sic) thigh” and also acknowledged the injury to the child’s scrotum in a text message, saying, “Got him in nuts once I noticed. But I felt so bad, n I’m all tearing that butt up when needed! I start putting them in timeout. N save the whooping for needed memories!”
According to police reports, the child, however, had a slightly different story, telling authorities that “Daddy Peterson hit me on my face.” The child also expressed worry that Peterson would punch him in the face if the child reported the incident to authorities. He also said that he had been hit by a belt and that “there are a lot of belts in Daddy’s closet.” He added that Peterson put leaves in his mouth when he was being hit with the switch while his pants were down. The child told his mother that Peterson “likes belts and switches” and “has a whooping room.”

peterson overreacted and now faces the consequences.
The punching in the head stuff is what the kid said, might be 100% true, might be a complete fabrication. There's no way to know.
In my mind, there is no justification for whipping a 4 year old bloody with a stick. I am not opposed to spanking a kid, but people that carry it way too far I can't respect or understand.
All in all a very disappointing weekend. As an old dude I'm not into hero worship but as my favorite player in the NFL I do feel a short sharp kick to the nuts.
11. The pics were a week old. Gotta figure they looked a lot more serious right afterwards.
As an aside.....In all my 55+ years, I have been constantly amazed (and usually greatly humored) by the ways/hows the vikings can fuck things up, but something off-field like this from AP.......well, I would of never guessed it in a hundred lifetimes
The Bottom Line:
Formally Numb, same person, same views of M3
Actually, a week after is when shit looks the worst.
But like Patler says, kids heal FAST, so that says something about how severe the beating was.
Wrap-around bruising is indicative of child abuse.
