Prosecutors seek to revoke bond, re-arrest AD
File a change of venue to Colorado.
Sponsors have ADHD along with everybody else. They could've waited a week for it to blow over or simply replaced sponsors. It's not like people are really going to conclude that Nike or Joe Schmo Ford are advocates of child abuse because the Vikings keep playing Peterson. But the pressure combined from sponsors and ESPECIALLY the league itself was too much. The timing (on the heels of Ray Rice) was even worse.
I feel sorry for AD. The guy keeps stepping in his own ****.
I *think* he's a good guy at heart, but man...
Stress.
"This whole world is 3 drinks behind..."
It takes one to know one, and I know you don't know a damn thing.
I don't think he's a bad guy with ill intent toward others, just as you said no sense of responsibility. His interviews lead me to conclude he's not the sharpest tool in the shed either, and together that doesn't make for such a remarkable human being. If he wasn't the guy in the OU uniform, I'm hard pressed to believe anyone would have much positive to say about him. I can feel compassion for him coming from a broken home with a lot of turmoil around him in his early life - no doubt has a lot to do with who he is today. But the same can be said for many people - it's just an explanation of why it is as it is, but it doesn't make it OK, and his OU history doesn't give him any Mulligans on the scale of being judged for human decency
Plea deal in the works... http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fan...ild-abuse-case
Boy, that'll teach him!
Bazinga
This should get him out of Minnesota. Hopefully to a good team.
I dunno if he'll be eligible to play this year, but with the remote possibility, I have quietly added him to my fantasy team...'s bench. If he gets suspended the rest of the season injured, whatever, I can just drop him again, no big deal.
But, if there's a remote chance that AD returns... he is going to run like a mad man.
Plus, that would make my team's two running backs AD and Demarco.
Suspended till at least April 15 without pay.
NFLPA and Adrian both appealing.
Here is why this is stupid: the baby mamas.
After the department down there illegally released the photos of Adrian's son and it became a national story, the mama came out of the woodwork to say she didn't want him to be suspended, never intended for him to be in trouble with the NFL, etc.
Basically, she realized her gravy train check was in jeopardy. So, here's the question: If the baby mamas of the NFL now see that the gravy train can be cut off or halted if these incidents go public, will it prevent them from coming forward in future domestic abuse situations. My guess is, it probably is already that way.

Adrian won't be making $12 million a year forever, and he's got a lot of little hungry mouths to feed...in the ghetto, as Mac Davis or Elvis Presley would sing.
Stupid. Adrian. The League. The baby mamas. All stupid, all the time.
(Adrian better hope he has a more honest uncle managing his money than Vince Young had.)
