MafiaMan Posted September 16, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted September 16, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxScore Posted September 16, 2014 Share 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.

MafiaMan Posted September 16, 2014 Share 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...

ScottM Posted September 16, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingsioux4life Posted September 16, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted September 16, 2014 Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted September 16, 2014 Share 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.

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...

Snake Posted September 17, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vikings could not have handled this worse but at least they finally showed some stones...even though Goodell has none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
