So now Adrian Peterson has been indicted on child endangerment.  Couldn't have picked a better time.  

from what I have heard, it is a pretty bad situation too, I don't have a problem with parents using corporal punishment, frankly not enough of them do as far as I am concerned, but leaving welts on a 4 year old that are visible a week later, stuffing leaves in the kid's mouth, having a separate room in your house for punishment??/

I think he may have taken it a bit far.

the pictures were pretty brutal - that's not normal punishment

for a 4 year old you should just give a smack on the ass with your hand

I guess now we'll see who's more important to the NFL - women or children? Who's abuse deserves more punishment?

wasn't the best week for the shield last week, that's for sure.

the part that bothers me is Peterson doesn't seem to think he did anything wrong.


he has a right to discipline his kids, but he went way past that as far as I'm concerned, and from what i heard it was over something pretty small to begin with.



Just wait until the rest of his kids tell someone what he has done to them.


he should be toast, but he is a whole different story than Rice, he's a major star, and MVP, and a "face" of the league.

the team is gonna make the league make a decision, which they haven't been really good at.

like I said, if he was a third string RB, they wouldn't have reinstated him so fast, they would have waited until the league told them what to do.

I have to give the Vikings kudos for deactivating him anyway without the league saying anything.

yeah but then they reinstated him, even after he admitted to hitting the kid and drawing blood.

They have had 2 other players involved in domestic violence, one was suspended for 10 games, until he was found innocent, the other was released. I think they may ultimately suspend him again, they have lost radison hotels as a sponsor, and I suspect that more will follow. They will be pushed financially until they do something.


Like I said, i don't have a problem with corporal punishment, but he went way too far, the kid was 4, and a couple swats on his ass with an open hand would have been more effective than whipping him til he bleeds.

I agree, they shouldn't have reinstated him, they have already lost a sponsor, I think if anymore sponsors pull out they will suspend him

money is the only language people like that understand.

It's awful but true

2-0

I have Foles as my fantasy QB, he was awesome last night!

I thought he was lacking - he normally connects on more long throws than he did.

But he did move them downfield in a hurry when he had to.

I like him.

He got me 32 points, i'll take it.

He's good for that.

I think Sproles may be the biggest FA Pickup this season, The Eagles are more dangerous with him than they ever were with Desean Jackson, he has a better attitude too.

without him we'd be 0-2

Desean is hurt already and questionable for next week.

Told ya what would happen

Yea, they would have looked better if they never reinstated him, now it looks completely financially motivated.

anyone who thought it wasn't had blinders on.
reinstating him was financially motivated, he is their best offensive player, a former MVP, he would have never been reinstated if he was schlub

I have a feeling it's not over yet, sponsor's are getting fed up with the lack of action on the NFL ' S part and the entitled thugs er players who think they can do what ever they want to

Goodell is toast, he will be resigning very soon I bet. The owners will want to make a clear statement to the sponsors that they are working on solutions.


He should have been suspended the minute this story came out.

you have to wonder how many more stories are going to break

I don't think this story is going away anytime soon

this kind of crap has been going on for years
its not without reason that its been called the National Felony League by many

i find it amusing that some in the NHL office are trying to get fighting completely out of our game so
it will appeal more to American viewers

who are these Americans that will tolerate thugs in the NFL (present company excluded) but find
two guys going toe to toe on the ice offensive

I think there should be more fighting in Hockey I don't think there is enough.

I thought people only watched hockey for the fights

the old joke is ..." I went to a fight last night and a hockey game broke out"


2 things bring fans to their feet a break away and a fight

We had a benches clearing brawl

I saw lol

6000 penalties in the first half but the one play without a flag ended with two players leaving the game. Maclin was sandwiched between two cardinals players: helmet to helmet to helmet. Maclin is bleeding from his ear.

for Clarke - Meeps is the one who was asking the question on Facebook and I though you'd appreciate the first comment

he's a ruiner

He better never go to a Packers game

or an Eagles game

we have enough injuries to deal with

Your pride will be injured Sunday at Lambeau field

that remains to be seen

chances are the eagles have a better defense than chicago does.....a bunch of 90 year olds with walkers would have done a better job than da bear's secondary yesterday

Utah is looking for some 90 year olds in walkers today, because they can hold their balls longer

The Packers are averaging 40 points a game at home this season, regardless of the Defense. I would be more worried about the Eagles if Foles was healthy, but I will take Mark Sanchez all day, the Eagles were Super Bowl Contenders with Foles, I don't think they make the playoffs without him.

Foles wasn't putting up dynamite numbers - too many interceptions - they'd be undefeated if he was as good as he was last season.

I really don't know much about Sanchez - as far as prior playing. He's done well in limited time this season. Our offensive line is almost put back together - if they can give him a chance to throw the ball and/or give McCoy room they should be ok

We should make the playoffs anyway. Our only competition in the division is Dallas and we should handle them just fine.

Google Mark Sanchez with the JETS, he was AWFUL!

Only a couple of hours until we get a preview. Hopefully a year off will have done him some good.

Speaking of the Jets - Michael Vick strikes again. I'm glad they took down the Steelers. I still can't stand Rothlesburger.

And victory cheesesteaks were had by all
