From what I've read it is going to be really hard for Texas to get a conviction out of this case against Peterson because they are one of the only states that have a "discipline" clause in their negligent child abuse laws. Meaning that using discipline as a defense is common. The prosecution will have to prove that he caused the injuries without purpose or outside the act of what is considered reasonable discipline. Peterson will probably take full responsibility for the minor injuries on the child, while defending himself under this discipline clause.

Edit: Just watched the brief presser with a DA from Texas speaking. Law enforcement and the district attorneys office is opening an investigation into who leaked the case information, which is a felony in child abuse cases in the state of Texas. It can also be a defense for dismissal. He also stated that any trial won't happen until next year.

So does the NFL suspend Adrian Peterson? If so for how long?

They shouldn't at all until after judicial stuff is concluded.

There is no way the NFL will suspend him for the year. Look at the current pending domestic violence offenders. They aren't suspending either of those guys until the law has run its course and made a decision. I don't see how they could handle this any differently. Well, other than media pressure I suppose.

AP is the only one damaging a 4 year olds scrotum. Hitting a woman is 1 thing, hitting a small child is another. Won't be getting 2000 yards Adrian Sandusky.

Washingtons offense made history on Sunday, but not in a good way | ProFootballTalk

According to FootballPerspective.com, Washington was the first team in NFL history to score fewer than 10 points while completing at least 75 percent of its passes and rushing for at least 125 yards. From 1940 until Sunday, there had been 615 teams in NFL history to rush for 125 yards with a 75 percent completion rate, and all 615 of them had scored at least 10 points in the game in which they reached those benchmarks.

Popular theory on SF sports talk radio is that the 49ers must know that nothing is going to come of Ray McDonald's arrest or they wouldn't have played him last week. Who knows if it's true or if they are just blowing smoke.

Ultimately, the NFL's owners will not allow themselves to be influenced by external pressure, on any issue. If outside voices can force a franchise to change its dictionary-defined slur of a name or compel the owners to hire a new captain for their 300-foot, gold-plated, money-printing yacht, those outside voices could potentially cause men not accustomed to taking orders from others to do just about anything.

It sounds like both Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall will be out for the game against the 49ers. I heard a report this morning that they activated a couple receivers from the practice squad which makes it sound like they won't play.

That could turn this into an ugly game.

Listening to Ray Lewis preach about players being held to a higher standard makes me want to vomit. Fuck that guy

Otherwise, the NFL typically has waited until the legal process concludes before imposing discipline, for a first-time offender. The Hardy case, thanks to a screwball criminal procedure in North Carolina, has resulted in a judge finding Hardy guilty before a jury has had a chance to consider the evidence. And so the league had opted to wait.

So that's Florio's take on this...but, wtf? That sounds straight out of North Korea not North Carolina. Maybe the league did the right thing in declining to railroad the guy. Stupid me actually assumed unless you formally pleaded guilty to a charge the government could not just skip your constitutional right to being tried by a jury of your peers and convict you of something.
