Money talks, bullsh*t walks and the NFL saw the hit this would have on it's bottom line. There is no other reason he was re-suspended. Anyone here ever know about the reserve/commissioners permission list? I've never heard of it.

What I do mind is some players get to stay on the field like the purple puke boys did a couple of years ago after they failed their drug tests. Or the 49er's clown Ray Ronald McDonald.

Every situation may be different but there should be some continuity to the rules.

Vikings can release Adrian Peterson and take a minor hit of around 5 million . Translation: Get out of bad PR and cap problem jail card!

Thanks.
I remember reading it in wiki a year or so ago and I was too lazy to check back today.

Those pictures are of a four year old? Good grief.

I remember the switch. I remember the belt. I remember the hands. And I don't have a problem with having received any of them. (Though I do remember vocally remarking negatively on each of them at the time. Ahem.) I likely deserved each of them more often than I got them.

But both switch and belt were rare. They were only on "referral" -- most corporal punishment in our family was Mom's responsibility. Dad only got called in when brattiness/misbehavior got especially out of hand. And switch and belt only got used rarely even then.

And on those rare occasions, there was never anything close to drawing blood or the markings those photos show.

If those photos are the result of AP's actions, it's not child discipline. It's a beating.

And totally unacceptable.


And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I think the NFL may finally have reached an acceptable conclusion/ road map of sorts to handle these types of cases.. courtesy of the Vikings no less.

Move them to a inactive list, pay them, and allow them to deal with the legal issues surrounding them.

I think the public / media now has to accept that all accusations will not be treated this way, but I am assuming that the NFL will start to deal with arrests this way. Players like McDonald still should be allowed for the courts to determine if charges are warranted.. then I think it fair for the NFL to handle it this way.

Happens in school districts, public offices, high profile company officials.. should work for NFL players.

The benefits are:

1. It is a major deterrent to avoid legal trouble.
2. It will push the players and their high priced legal teams to push cases through the system in place of trying to drag feet as long as possible.
3. NFL / Sponsors remove the PR issues it raises.
4. Players are still allowed "due process" (at least in the fashion most are appointing to it)


The question is what type of offenses are grouped into this action.. but I am guessing the NFL is going to adopt at least a variation of this approach. Albeit the Vikings claim none of this was NFL pushed.

In terms of the abuse.. yes it is abuse.. I hope AD can seek help and for him to repair the relationship with his son.

I haven't seen the pictures. Anyone have a link to it? I assumed it was blown out of proportion. I guess cause it's hard for me to imagine AP doing that. He SEEMED to be a classy guy on the field.
My Mom told me once of my aunt spanking her oldest son with a belt, and he tried to get away and she nailed him in the crotch. My Mom said that convinced her to only use her hand to spank us kids. (Which I deserved ALOT more times then I ever received!) plus, the "I'm telling your father when he gets home! " was always enough to straighten me out! Again, my Dad NEVER beat me. A rare spanking , yes.

Changed their tune when sponsors started threatening to pull out and some dropped AP. He's not going to play until at least after October 8th.
