He's not a kid, this is not a 9 year old. It's not even close to his other actions, but just shows he's an idiot, and doesn't learn anything. OMG A COLLEGE STUDENT SAID SOMETHING IGNORANT. I CANTS BELIEVES IT. This is seriously just looking for stuff to complain about. This is almost as bad as TMZ following Manziel around frat houses looking for him to do something stupid. The only example Winston has to set is to his teammates on the field, he isnt a role model

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 12:15 PM) With the fact the guy actually was under investigation for rape and probably should have gotten convicted for it, this is a slap in the face to a good number of people. Not to mention the timing of it. This guy is bigger douche than Johnny Football and I did not think that was possible. He is a douche, no doubt, but he didnt commit a crime, he didnt break a law. This is just dumb kid stuff. The rape and theft stuff is perfectly fine to get upset about, but i cant get upset about what he said in front of his friends on campus.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 12:35 PM) Did anyone see their statement? It sure is good to know Nike cares so much about the well-being of children... When I posted this, i heard on the Score that the contract was terminated, but on twitter i am reading "suspended". So, when all blows over and suspensions are served and fines levied, the contract will go back to normal i am thinking

this is so stupid i cant even put it into words. suspended? wtf

so let me get this straight, he just stood up on a table and yelled this? He didnt video bomb anyone with it, or say it on camera in the background? He just randomly yelled it for attention?

crazy to think that Jeter spent the first 18 years of his baseball career making the playoffs all but once, and the last two he will have no appearances

Nike has terminated their contract with AP

kudos to the Minnesota media, they are attacking the Wilf's with some extremely pointed questions, and they have had some TERRIBLE responses.

Hey look, the Yankees are playing baseball police any coincidence that Brian McCann is on that team?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 08:34 AM) I heard a good point mentioned this morning. Adrian Peterson and Ray McDonald cases are different in how they relate to "due process". Adrian Peterson admitted to what he did. He is just denying that what he did was criminal. The NFL doesn't really need to wait for due process. Based on his admissions, they can judge that his actions warrant disciplinary action regardless of whether or not they are determined to be criminal. Ray McDonald is denying what he is accused of. His case really does need to have due process play out, unless some kind of video evidence surfaces beforehand. http://www.tmz.com/2014/09/10/floyd-maywea...3Da7s3U6y"" target="_blank">as Mayweather said If you didnt get caught on tape, it probably didnt happen

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 07:52 AM) I guess money trumps winning. Once Bud & Nike opened their mouths, it was over. Why do you say this as if it is somewhat surprising? Money always talks the loudest, and usually a lot louder when it runs parallel with morality(or perceived morality)

Now I want to hear what Spielman has to say

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 16, 2014 -> 10:34 PM) Such a smooth stroke against righties. Reminiscent of Wade Boggs. Beautiful triple. That's Crow pitching isn't it? KC fans will blame Ned. No, it's Wade Davis. He was the right choice

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 16, 2014 -> 12:24 PM) Huh? He made up that quote. I didn't say that. I was referring to your actual quote QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 14, 2014 -> 08:18 AM) No Alshon or Marshall tonight. Hello, 0-2 and awful Sunday Night Football game. Which, at the time looked very likely, and even with Alshon and Brandon, up until the 4th quarter still looked very likely. On a side note, I wonder if SOXOBAMA is ok

also, Nike has pulled all Adrian Peterson merchandise from their Minnesota stores

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 05:49 PM) He was suspended for 2 games. Now he's been released from his team and indefinitely suspended. If you think the two actions are really that similar in matters of degree, well, I'm simply going to have to disagree with you there. I know the vast majority of fans are sitting here thinking, how incredibly stupid could the league be? But in my opinion it is just a tad more complex than you guys are recognizing. I didn't say they were similar punishments at all, I merely pointed out that the NFL did actually take action against Ray Rice with no charges filed, whereas now they are hiding behind due process for Hardy and AP and McDonald. And I never said the second punishments for rice were the correct courses of action, I think it was a massive and incorrect overcorrection after they had the video rubbed in their noses. I understand I am not a lawyer like you shack, but I can see there are differences. It just seems to me that the NFL is creating hypocrisies on the situations presented, one after another after another. At some point daddy Goodell has to step in and get a handle on this s***

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 05:40 PM) Yeah, and it took a video of him knocking the s*** out of her in an elevator to make them yield to public pressure. I mentioned then it was not a good precedent to set and it wasn't. So now what do we have? Pictures of wounds a father inflicted on his child. Now all the sudden the NFL has to decide whether they want to enter the arena of telling parents how to discipline their children, when the United States as a whole has resisted entering that arena for the last 40 years, basically. You think Goodell is sitting there thinking, I can't wait to see what other pictures and videos show up of my star players breaking the law... He was suspended before the video came out, he was suspended MORE after it came out Should they get it right and put him on suspension before the pic of a 4 year old with a black eye comes out? I really could care less what Goodell is worried about. This is his job, pull up your boots and earn your 40 mil per year

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 05:33 PM) It isn't quite that simple...an admission of guilt to what? Being a bad father? Balta just posted an article showing a Texas jury probably wouldn't convict him. So now we are suspending star players without due process, with some then being acquitted? You think that is a good road to go down if you're in charge of the league right now? That's just a mess. Especially since the Commissioner alone is in charge of handing out the suspensions currently? They need to get league wide policies out there which lay out the penalties, then administer them consistently. They need to educate and promote awareness (which they are in the process of doing now). It's not as simple as just suspending guys left and right arbitrarily, especially when the media is going to be digging up arrest records like nobody's business. I mean, Ray Rice was just suspended without being arrested or charged with anything, merely based on video of him doing something we already knew he did. I am torn here, I understand due process, but is Adrian Peterson only to be suspended by the NFL if a court finds him guilty(which looks iffy at best)? Even though we all know and he admitted to beating his kid? I find that strange
