MafiaMan Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 How does Goodell still have a job? There is ZERO reasoning behind anything he does at this point. "Be still and take ya whoopin'!" Quote
Oxbow6 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 "Be still and take ya whoopin'!" Obviously the beating of a child is held to a lesser offense than smacking aroud an adult female. Well played Rog..well played. Would the scenario change if AP's child at age 4 declared he was gay............................... Quote
SiouxScore Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Vikings sponsors suddenly dropping like flies... Haven't seen anyone besides the Radisson yet have there been more? Quote
SiouxScore Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 This could have been reason for the confusion regarding when the incident in question took place. Seems there allegedly was another incident with a different 4 year old son.http://blog.startribune.com/sports/access-vikings/houston-tv-station-reports-another-peterson-discipline-incident Watched the KHOU report on this one and there really doesn't seem to be anything to it. There were no charges and the story was the child cursed at his sibling AP was "whoopin" him the kid tried to move and hit his head on the car seat leaving the scar above his eye. Quote
MafiaMan Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Chris Carter was so "proud" of his Vikings for doing the right thing a couple of days ago... http://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2014/9/14/6147347/cris-carter-espn-comments-about-child-abuse I wonder who got in his ear at ESPN yesterday because he was whistling a different tune...

Dayton says Adrian Peterson should have stayed suspended http://strib.mn/1shk4c9 #Vikings Election year? Nice to see Dayton knows the facts before speaking on something since AP was never even suspended. Quote

He needs to get back on his meds. Quote
ScottM Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 http://www.startribune.com/sports/vikings/275226611.html The Vikings are nothing if not hypocritical in their interpretations of letting the legal process "run its course". 1 Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Maybe Dayton will try leverage this situation into providing even more free money for the Wilfs/People's stadium. He needs to get back on his meds. The contract says any additional costs must be covered by the Vikings. And FYI (especially in light of the Robin Williams tragedy), I don't think mental health issues should be mentioned in jest. Quote
Blackheart Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 The contract says any additional costs must be covered by the Vikings. Yeah, the state really played hardball there. Quote

Dayton's making progress - maybe next he'll issue a statement regarding the number of Somali immigrants into Minnesota who are now busy fighting for ISIS in Syria/Iraq. I won't hold my breath though... Quote

I won't hold my breath though... One a positive note, it helps with the job market for those looking for work as it frees up some opportunities at the MSP airport. Quote
MafiaMan Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 What exactly do you want Dayton to do about that? Good point, he should stick to commenting about AP being suspended by a football team and attending Hockey Day in Minnesota events. You know, important stuff. Quote

You know, important stuff. Nice dodge.... I'll repeat my question. What would you have Governor Dayton do to prevent a handful of Minnesotans from leaving the country to go fight for Isis? It's not like he can seal the border. Quote

ScottM Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Apparently some stores around MSP are pulling Peterson's jersey from the shelves. Quote
MafiaMan Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Haven't seen anyone besides the Radisson yet have there been more? I think the news I saw last night mis-spoke when they said "Vikings sponsor" and meant one of Adrian Peterson's endorsement deals. I couldn't find any information on a second sponsor jumping ship.

Fetch Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 Im ready to forget pro sports except hockey which I have only been interested in the past few yrs Quote

Fetch Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 I hope this bites Dayton in the Azz come election time Quote

What would you have Governor Dayton do to prevent a handful of Minnesotans from leaving the country to go fight for Isis? It's not like he can seal the border. Nothing. But perhaps he can chat with the champions of Somali immigration Betty McCollum and Keith Ellison about being a little more picky about who is let into the state. Just an idea... Quote
Snake Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 AP out indefinitely. I'm hoping he's played his last game for the Vikings. Hate to see the organization bumble this so badly, but in the end this is the right thing to do. Quote

The Vikings could not have handled this worse but at least they finally showed some stones...even though Goodell has none. Quote
