    Report: AP has been indicted on negligent injury to a child

    Huh? No one ever said rape was ok; and no one raped would ever think that it's ok to do to someone else. Corporal punishment is a different story though. Your grandma didn't rape you, but your grandma may have gave you a whoopin'. Its completely different.

    Report: AP has been indicted on negligent injury to a child

    Another false equivalency. Not using racist words has been in public discourse for a long time. It most of the country everyone knows you don't do it. The "correct" amount of physical punishment you should give your child is typically not in public discourse and not universally accepted...

    Report: AP has been indicted on negligent injury to a child

    This isn't rape first of all; thats a complete false equivalency. If this was how he was regularly disciplined as a child I could easily see him doing it to his kid. Especially since he turned out to be a famous multimillionaire. He probably thought "what worked for me will work for him"...

    Report: AP has been indicted on negligent injury to a child

    Peterson needs some punishment and education, but I honestly think he was just doing to his son what was done to him when he was young. I really hope we don't all have to bring out our pitch forks for him too.

    Jim Harbaugh Says Ray McDonald Will Play On Sunday

    In my opinion, playing him is just the latest in a series of really bad moves by the NFL. They really need a standard policy and process for handling these things. People charged with a serious crime such as this should be put on paid leave until the evidence can be gathered. If found...

    The Roger Goodell thread

    I'm withholding judgement of her. They've been together for 6 years and for all we know this was an isolated incident. I've been married for 8 years. If my wife did something unspeakably hurtful to me after all this time together, it would be very difficult for me to throw out the eight years...

    Ray Rice Video - punching his gf

    Of course it's never OK, but I think its much easier said than done to completely cut ties with someone you love when they make a single out of character mistake. I wouldn't blame her at all if she did leave him, I'd help her pack her bags, but I'm not going to judge her for staying either when...

    Ray Rice Video - punching his gf

    I agree wholeheartedly with that. What I don't agree with is Carlisle's criticizing/blaming the victim for staying with him when we don't know the full story, know if there is a pattern to the abuse, or know either of them personally.

    Ray Rice Video - punching his gf

    I agree with you. I just think its a bit insulting to the wife to assume you know better than she does. We don't know either of them personally, and we weren't there. I don't think anyone could have a full understanding of the situation looking at 10 second window of a relationship that is...

    I think they were both drunk.

    Ray Rice Video - punching his gf

    If this was a clear pattern of abuse with Rice I would agree with you, but this could be a single isolated incident. Maybe she just knows him better than you and thinks he wont do it again.

    Ray Rice Video - punching his gf

    I think it is a mistake to assume this is atypical for domestic violence. I think most domestic violence is as horrible as this or worse. He hit her hard once and it knocked her out. Thankfully he stopped after one blow. I think he should have been punished severely from the outset; a full...

    Ray Rice Video - punching his gf

    I'm not defending him, I'm ripping the process. If there were video of Ray McDonald or Brandon Marshal do you really think it would look any different?

    Ray Rice Video - punching his gf

    A couple random thoughts about this. 1. The only reason Rice is being punished like this because of a video/PR. Many players over the years have had similar charges made against them and nothing like this has been done by the team/league/public. There should be some consistency based on...

    Carroll second to Belichick?

    This may be off-topic, but I don't think Jerry Jones cares much about winning. The Cowboys are number one in value/money. "The Cowboys are the NFL's most valuable team for a sixth straight year thanks to the league's highest sponsorship and premium seating revenues—a combined $200 million. The...

    Carroll second to Belichick?

    According to a poll by Sando of league insiders, Pete came out second only to Belichick in a rating of all coaches in the leageu. Following the team so closely over the last few years, its hard to imagine anyone could be better than Carroll. I think in a year or two Pete's at the top of the...
