And after the Adrian Peterson report from @MarkBermanFox26, that's almost a wrap on what has to be most embarrassing week in NFL history.

AP, thats skinsfaninok boy.

Need to hear the details, but Goodell gotta be bangin his head up against a wall.

details coming out per TMZ(shaking my head typing TMZ):

Minnesota Vikings superstar Adrian Peterson has been indicted for child abuse in North Montgomery County, TX ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Sources connected to Peterson tell us ... the alleged victim is a male child from Minnesota who was visiting Adrian back in May at AP's home in Texas.

We're told the child returned home to his mother in Minn. who noticed injuries and took the child to a doctor. A short time later, the doctor contacted authorities in Texas to report Adrian.

Child Protective Services confirms they are working on a case involving Peterson and say the alleged victim is an 11-year-old boy.

Peterson was indicted in Montgomery County for reckless or negligent injury to a child, this according to Fox 26.

When I first heard the story was about using a switch, well I know that was an old style punishment and thought it might have been a case of overzealous DCS people. But it always comes back to the pictures. When you see the marks, all you can do is shake your head.

From unconfirmed sources, those pictures are supposedly a week after the spankin. So that's a little more perspective.

I got switched, branches pulled from trees, etc. and I would have welps and red marks on my legs. I don't ever remember bleeding nor do I remember scab wounds a week later. This is disturbing.

Man F... That, I got whipped with switches, belts, sticks, a 2x4, Cook spoons, got hit in the face back, had welts and everything else, my dad even broke my nose when I was in the 5th grade. I got whipped with everything you can think off and had marks that stayed on me for more than a week.

Wow. Sorry to hear that, I couldn't imagine having my nose broken by my dad. My dad did threaten me in high school saying he could whip my ass, I believed him too. He could have.

Shit happens, I got over it, but I mean I got switches at 4 years old and had bruises, the way I feel is that if they feel that way then raise his kid themselves. Some of the shit I got was child abuse but I had bruises on me after whippings all the time.

That sucks for anyone who has to go through abuse of any kind.

My dad did the whole jekel and hyde thing because he was very loving, and i believe he really does love us kids. However, he would drink and get violent and mean. Rough up my mom, etc.. He would always get the better of me when i was younger and smaller. When I was about 16-17 i finally had some size to me and during one of his fits i told him i wasn't afraid anymore and basically told him to bring it.

He overwhelmed me at first but i was younger and fitter and hung in there. I ended up beating him pretty soundly for which to this day I am ashamed and sad for. Two times he was knocked down and it should have been over with but he wanted to keep going so in my rage i obliged him. I'd like to think that I beat it out of him but i know better. He never tried me again. I wish i could take the whole thing back, but anybody who has been threatened like that kind of understands. My step mother called the police on me and the cops came - they said it was "mutual combat" so no charges were filed. My dad was sent home the next day from work because of his appearance. It was a terrible time in our life.

AP might do well to remember some of the beatings he got as a child. Because his child might come back one day and have something for him...

Think Goodell was driving to work today thinking, "Oh well, at least it can't get any worse than this"?

I can't remember a worse week for the NFL, ever.

[Chico23231]

Vikings just stated ap will be deactivated and won't play this Sunday


Folks nfl has a domestic abuse problem

[Alvin Walton]

wtf is going on...................

[Chico23231]

Damn guys that shity for both of y'all.

Isn't it cray how this time last week everyone was jacked up for football, kinda meh going into this weekend. This past week has sucked

[Chico23231]

Ive never personally been affected like yall have, but I did work at a Juvenile Court Service Unit in a big city and small county early out of college and I had alot of exposure to domestic violence and it can be traumatic for the women and children who fall victim to that type of abuse. Its time the NFL gets it sh*t together and tackle (intended) the issue. I seriously think they need to approach the NCAA and work with them because that behavior clearly starts there with the kids today. These guys are already on a pedestal coming out of college.


I dont know about anyone else, but I have clauses at where Ive worked for the last 13 years where if I get arrested and charged for theft, fraud, domestic abuse, violent offenses, etc. I can be let go immediately. Its happened several times to folks where I worked in the last five years, one for theft of ice from a cooler, another for threats against an ex girlfriend through email. These were people in decent positions where I work.

Lol, I almost forgot that basically the biggest advocate right now for the Skins to keep their name outside of the Skins organization is Roger Goodell. Maybe Snyder should be more like 'don't stand so close to me guy.' Of course maybe Roger is thinking the same thing about Snyder at this point.
