Adrian Peterson Indicted

[George Cumby]

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.

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 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.

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.

I wonder if they have Roger Goodell on suicide watch.

I wonder if they have Roger Goodell on suicide watch.

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.

1. Always glad to see Ras here. Don't agree world is screwed and don't agree more physical discipline is needed for what trouble remains. I tend to associate "the world is going down the tubes" viewpoint with watching too much TV news. Ras can tell me whether my theory holds for him or not.

2. Goodell will survive but the aura of invincibility is over; now he will get press treatment closer to Selig. And nowhere as near as deferential as Stern. Owners still support him but the teflon is gone. The biggest cost of this fiasco is that he is probably going to lose his Czat status as judge and jury over HGH and probably will lose it over Personal Conduct after all is said and done. Those are two good things to come out of horrible situations. Presiding over the Peterson case will be tough because while the the age, the switch, the punch and the injury to the scrotum make it egregious, the idea of corporal punishment is not universally disapproved.

3. Personal experience with paddling. The fear of those paddles never changed much behavior. It moved it to other venues or encouraged cover ups. In that way paddling is like prohibition.

1) My wife has the news on all the time and frankly, I don't want to hear it.

Blood on the rooftops. I'm trying my best to hide from it. The world is screwed.

2) Solid points. I agree.

3) It worked on me. Then again, it was pretty violent and a very real threat. I never felt like it was Bill Cosby saying "Don't make me get the belt" with a smile.

So....I take it you don't like Goodell?

The problem for AP and the NFL is that the press smells blood in the water after the Rice incident. The mostly liberal leaning mass media is definitely anti-discipline of any physical type. So it doesn't matter that most people probably don't have a problem with physical discipline (even though this appears to be extreme). It's the same as the Redskins issue. A vast majority of this country just doesn't care about that issue but the media won't let it go. It's gonna be the same with this one. They are going to crucify him. I bet he NEVER plays again in the NFL.

I kinda doubt that. He's not even being treated with the new domestic policy, simply the Personal conduct policy......that said, I would expect the book to be thrown at him.
