How long until we shut down over our next scandal?[/quote]

I certainly don't agree with the decision but I at least respect it. This really has brought out the worst in people. I've seen YouTube comments with [URL="http://youtu.be/6ucthzgpEgM"]Hannah Storm's excellent commentary[/URL] on the Ray Rice situation that just made my stomach turn. So much of this between Ray Rice and AP really makes a person question their faith in humanity when you see people trying to justify time and time again some of the worst acts a person can commit against another human being.

I guess in this case the people who ran the Vikings message board couldn't stomach it anymore.

The most ironic thing though I've found myself saying lately in regards to AP is that I'm happy Vinny drafted Landry instead of Peterson.

You can tell Speilman wasn't at all comfortable in his press conference. I think owners should stand up there and take the heat if they want to make decisions like that.

I'm surprised people are giving the Vikings flak about this situation and not just b*tching about Goodell.

Maybe the Vikes should have sugarcoated the whole Peterson thing, the way the Ravens did, so they don't get much flak about it?

Well once the video surfaced the Ravens said bye bye to Rice. The pictures and AP's own admission are out there and they are reinstating Him?

Thats kinda a punk thing to do, because allowing to hear both side of the arguement to me is a good thing. Allow the venting is healthy.

But good god, how could anybody defend blantent child abuse?

Another thing is the track record of AP, kinda wish skinsfaninok was here to comment. Think he had some insight to AP around his area.

No idea.

It's been amazing the past few weeks to hear people downplay domestic violence, and now child abuse. Just mind blowing.

The interviews with fans at the Ravens game last thursday night wearing the Rice jerseys were mind numbing. I heard them on talk radio the next day...one lady actually said "when you hit someone, dont you expect them to retaliate?" This was a woman in Baltimore who said that. That actually came out of her mouth.

Still in the spirit of one upness that all guys are cursed with, you think thats bad, try reading the Twitters or YouTube comments to see those same people in text form. Though I can't help but think that hearing and/or seeing people make such comments is much more painful.

Panthers signed Seastrunk to their practice squad. No link, I'm mobile.

Hmm....

I thought Rice was well respected on both sides of the aisle. Guess I was wrong.

If the ball was mildly rolling before, it's definitely picking up steam now. The chain has started. Gotta wonder how long it'll be before we see the Vikes do an about-face and announce AD is gonna take some time off again.

Looks like Yahoo finally removed Peterson from the Can't Cut List.
