Adrian Peterson Indicted

[pbmax]

The exempt list has been around for a while. Antonio Gates was put on it back in 05 when he wouldn't sign a new contract with the Chargers. I think it's so that way the player doesn't count against the roster size while whatever issue is being worked out. I thought it was mandatory that 3 games were missed by the player while on it.

I think its the Exempt List for those who don't fit for any other list. Because Peterson and apparently hardy (should the team decide to do it) will be paid while on it. Most other lists you get to be on for being stubborn or detrimental don't involve your usual salary.

I think it is literally, the Commissioner is letting you stash the player here, list.

The Vikings hold a title the team doesn’t celebrate – the most players arrested in the NFL.
According to USA Today, 45 Minnesota Vikings have been arrested since 2000.
That’s double the league average.

Probably doesn't even include the Wizzinator Incident.

Remember that prick Partial who use to post in here? You can bet he never got spanked.

I'm confused how you equate this to spanking.

Because the Whizzinator was innovation working at its finest. Just like this guy:

Yep. Commissioner says "here is a mulligan" for some reason on roster count.

That's so fucking stupid of Barclay. If you hit an adult with a stick and leave welts, you go to jail for assault. If you hit a kid with a stick and leave welts, it's a teaching tool? How much further backwards could that thinking be?

In before "I turned out ok."

If my team screws up at work, I'm going to either hit them in the mouth or spank them. I'll report back later from home after I'm fired. But while at home if my kid spills milk on the floor, I'm beating her ass with a stick. Seems logical right?

Every time Peterson fumbles or misses a block, we know how to administer the proper discipline.

Charles also glosses over some minor brushes with the law of his own. Not exactly Rice or Peterson, but a plate glass window is a dangerous deterrent.

Leave Don Barclay out of this, he doesn't spank his kids and plus he's injured and cannot defend himself.

Spanking is the civic and domestic analogue to concussions in team sports. In both cases scientific evidence is way ahead of and completely at odds with mainstream culture.

May I just point out that the person making those comments was Barkley, as in Charles, not Barclay, as in Don.

Sounds like "settled science" once again.

Spanking is a different discussion. It really doesn't matter if AP only intended to deliver the sort of spanking that you approve of. What he actually did is child abuse.

I think I have adopted you as my surrogate online dad because you are a raging lunatic just like my real dad. My dad smacked me a lot, and only me, because I emerged from the womb rebellious and irritating. But despite his anger, he never came close to hitting me hard. I imagine you are all bark, no bite too.

I remember one incident: I snatched the last sausage from the breakfast table. My dad rose to his feet and thundered, "Give me that sausage!" That phrase now is enshrined forever in family lore, it is sometimes yelled when somebody, say, snatches a TV remote at Thanksgiving.

How do you say "Give me that chorizo!" in spanish?

Indeed. Tanier's article in my link touched on research that said there was evidence that "conditional spanking" had some positive affect.

However, I don't think Peterson falls into this category (from Howard's article):

Dr. Baumrind described findings from her own research, an analysis of data from a long-term study of more than 100 families, indicating that mild to moderate spanking had no detrimental effects when such confounding influences were separated out. When the parents who delivered severe punishment -- for example, frequently spanking with a paddle or striking a child in the face -- were removed from the analysis, Dr. Baumrind and her colleague, Dr. Elizabeth Owens, found that few harmful effects linked with spanking were left. And the few that remained could be explained by other aspects of the parent-child relationship.

Stunning that if you remove the worst cases, the results are not as severe and "could" be explained by other factors they were unable to control for.
