I saw 2 blows to the head. Well 1 was to the neck. Still, above the shoulder pads is a no-no and they went there so they got called. If you dont agree with the rules to protect players thats one thing but the refs called it correctly.

Really? Because what I (and the announcers, who called it very borderline) saw was a hit at the shoulder line twice.

Adrian Peterson arrested?

Indited for reckless or negligent injury to a child.

Obviously, as a human, first concern is for the child and hope they are physically okay because emotionally and mentally it's probably something you don't recover from easily.

But I would be 100% lying if I said I didn't wish this will effect him in some sort of way for Sunday whether it be he not be allowed to play by the team or he's not focused on the field.

REPLAYAdrian Peterson indicted for reckless or negligent injury to child

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been indicted for reckless or negligent injury to a child, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport confirmed, according to a source involved in the process.

A source told Rapoport that Peterson has already testified in front of a grand jury. The investigation has been going on for some time. Adrian Peterson's lawyer Rusty Hardin declined to comment to Rapoport about the indictment.

"The Vikings are in the process of gathering information regarding the legal situation involving Adrian Peterson. At this time, we will defer further questions to Adrian's attorney Rusty Hardin," the Vikings said in a statement.

Lt. Fitzgerald of Montgomery County Texas Police confirmed to NFL Media that they have investigated the case. An unknown police department called the City of Houston Police Department with a complaint of child endangerment, and Houston referred it to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office where the alleged case occurred.

Montgomery County then investigated a complaint of "injury to a child" and referred the case to the district attorney. The DA then handed the case to the grand jury.

Eden Prairie Police Department spokesperson Joyce Lorenz confirms the EPPD assisted Montgomery County, Texas authorities in the investigation. Lorenz says Eden Prairie Police did not arrest Peterson.

The source tells Rapoport the indictment involves the disciplining of one of his sons. The source says Peterson used a switch.

Peterson's status for Sunday is unclear.

...can't but think this somewhat has to do with what happened with his 'child' last year. Probably triggered something in his brain for him to do this.

I don't follow why people think the league is in such a wreck.

Most of this news has virtually nothing to do with actual football on the field.

This is what happens when the NFL tries to take on the responsibility of personal life nanny. Just leave it to the government to worry about punishing people for criminal behaviour, and worry about your product on the field FFS. I personally don't care if Rice or Peterson are/aren't on the field, someone will be.

Looks like we are going with this for the keeper pool. Only 8 people have voted, if you haven't voted please do so.

Option B: We keep 3 players based on tiers. Tier 1(rounds 1-3) Tier 2(rounds 4-8)

Tier 3(rest of draft+FA). You can only keep 1 player from each tier. After each year tier 2 player moves up to tier 1 and tier 3 moves up to tier 2. Meaning you have to drop one of your tier 1 players and assign a new tier 3 player.

You know how many NFL players there are? They average 2-3 years per career.

Each NFL team in the preseason starts with roughly 90 players. That's nearly 3,000 NFL players during the preseason.

224 drafted and ~ 50 undrafted players per year enter the league, so around 4,000 more players over 15 seasons.

So ~ 10% of NFL players since 2000 have been arrested.

There's around 12 million arrests on average per year in the US, ~ 45% is considered the rough US recidivist rate.

So that's 55% of new arrests per year. At nearly 100 million, that means between 2000 and the end of this year, you're looking at around 30-40% of Americans who were arrested in that time.

Around 30-40% of Americans arrested in this time vs. Around 10% of NFL players in the same period.

I like those rates. It seems NFL players are much more law abiding than the average American.

Of course, logic will take a back seat to this imaginative view that NFL players are superhuman.

"Peterson grabbed a tree branch, removed the leaves and struck the 4-year-old repeatedly."

keep making excuses and rationalizing clowns who piss away a golden ticket. If the nfl gave a damn about these guys they would help them but they just churn out another and make another buck.

The nfl is going to crap right now its not just roster fillers too two star players arrested in days and you find nothing wrong? Either you're blind or ignorant.
