This league is an administrative train wreck. Mark Cuban has to be sitting back and laughing about all of this. What a mess.

Roger Goodell is the worst thing that ever happened to this league, this game. All of the stuff that so many of us long-time NFL watchers SUSPECTED of going on has been shown to be us having insight and not tinfoil hat wearing pessimists.

That's effed up. Discipline or no he went over board with the kid and once a jury sees those pics he's going away for two years end of story. How can rice be out indefinite and Peterson be reinstated? Rice is getting screwed even if what he did was horrible.

 

The trial is not going to be until 2015. the league has to let the process play out. Rice accepted a plea and took a 2 game ban. AP has yet to be tried.

Peterson sat out one week, the Vikings outrage over his vicious beating of his 4-year-old child has been sufficiently expressed by deactivating him for that game, a loss. 

 

I wonder if Jerry Richardson will follow suit and reinstate his violent woman beating sociopath Greg Hardy. Maybe not, the Panthers won yesterday.

The next time Hardy or Peterson take the field, if theya re not suspended, will be a PR disaster. The Vikings and Panthers did Goodell huge favors this week. If that changes, it will be ugly.

Way to go Minnesota. Get your ass beat and go back to the "Let the process run its course" 

 

This league has become so effed up it is not funny anymore. It is all about making the next billion.

 

At some point the NFL (LOL) is going to have to suspend these guys with pay unitl the "Process" can run its course. 

 

See how fast these guys start acting like human beings again when they have to explain to their teammates. why they aren't going to be able to play for whatever many weeks while the "Process" runs its course.

As to "process", Hardy has been convicted,and Peterson readiiy admits to the acts for which he's been indicted.

Like Philly used to have Jails under stadium, maybe NFL needs Courts set up  at stadiums for players ;)

Admissions of guilt are not the same as convictions.

 

by the way he admitted to discipline his child too harshly. He didn't admit to reckless or negligent injury to a child. the state will have to prove his recklessness or his negligence. It's not as cut and dried as it sounds. 

 

many people want to just throw a guy in jail, cut him, whatever... but  he didn't have his day in court. This is America.

why does the league have to be the morality police ?  we have courts for justice.  why does the NFL have to provide justice ?    fan hysteria ?  media outrage ? internet message boards ?

 

Is this all about the role model sh*t ?

 

anyone using athletes as role models is ****ed

This falling on the coaches bothers me. Where are the owners in all of this? They should be making the decisions on who plays who doesnt. If Ziggy Wolfe came out and said - "Peterson's are best friggin player as long as he's not in jail he's playing" and I could live with it. At least he's being honest. Zimmer shouldnt be fielding questions on it...it's his job to play the best players. The owners need to be the ones handling the legal matters.

all about advertisers. i am sure Goodell would much prefer an "innocent until proven guilty" policy toward suspensions. but the fact is the nfl is a business and if enough of a furor is raised, the nfl will act for the sake of not losing advertisers. not passing a judgment one way or another on this, but the nfl would not willingly become the morality police if there wasn't a profit motive. on the other hand we live in a sick world. a world in which vengeful people could seek to do harm to others for a host of reasons. a jilted lover looking for a pay day could concoct an abuse story and threaten to go public without a pay off. not connecting any of this to peterson's case directly, just a general comment.

Until I see an advertiser actually leave I'm not buying it. Budweiser and the likes arent going anywhere.
