[Grover Cleveland]

AP not even trying to deny it. Statements from his lawyer:

"Adrian is a loving father who used his judgment as a parent to discipline his son. Adrian never intended to harm his son and deeply regrets the unintentional injury."

How could he deny it? "Yes those are clearly deeply embedded switch marks on my son in those pictures you've all seen by now, but I didn't hit him with a switch!"

Naw, Rusty's playing the old "He's just disciplining his kid like he was disciplined by his parents" card. Remember this trial will take place in Texas. He only needs one hard-ass "back in my day" old timer on the jury to see his point of view and he walks. Just dealing with the court of law.

In the court of public opinion, he's already lost.

hGH testing will start during the 2014 NFL season. Blood specimens can't be collected on game days.--Twitter.

This could be an interesting season.

And thanks Grover or whoever it was who said Watt had to be on something after his game Sunday. If he gets popped for HGH I would just walk away from the NFL for good.

With players being stupid, and hgh testing. Gaf could have a few people in the league this year.

Fox are you trying to have the worst opinions ever? or does it come naturally?

Either way I'd say it falls squarely into the new domestic violence policy.

 

[yankeehater]

So my brother just bought an Xbone
now I can play Forza

Awesome. Forza 5 is fantastic.

Yup

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I'm supposed to be driving to vegas tonight for a bachelor party and all I want to do is stay home and play Destiny.

 

[TheKaeptain]

He built it on cheese curds, brats and HEB ice cream biiiiiiiiiiitch!

Lol I just picked him because you were the last person to post.

I won't lie, the shit has crossed my mind

 

[cajunator]

Awesome. Forza 5 is fantastic.

Holy shit:

The only thing weird about this is the leaves in his mouth part. Some people are just soft.

First thing I did when I bought my house was set up the man cave.

“Daddy Peterson hit me on my face.”

ok

Of course, you didn't have much of a problem with knocking out a woman so I guess I'm not too surprised 4 year olds are fair game too.

 

[Wes]

So under new rules a 4th violation is 10 games, but under new rules his last violation shouldn't count because it was less than the new limit?

I'm so confused.

 

[LevelNth]

Either way I'd say it falls squarely into the new domestic violence policy.

I would agree with this. I still think this is a purposely timed release to coincide with the Rice controversy especially amidst the completely unsurprising media disregard of an initial grand jury dismissing the case earlier this year. But I can also see the league playing it safe and just slapping him with 6.

I'm going to eat my crow on this. Thought it wouldn't happen, and stated my opinion as such. I guess being wrong isn't always a bad thing.

 

[ShaneB]

Maybe its time for us to all follow the CFL?

 

[Fox318]

Under Goodell that would have been an $80,000 fine and possible 2 game suspension.

 

[BigAT]

It was less than the new limit set for NFL players.

Spoiler

Cleveland Browns don't apply.

 

[RellyRell28]

Didn't see the that part. Also you really need to get over yourself

 

[Big-E]

Suspension worthy. Loss of 15 dollars worth of equipment.

 

[eznark]

Didn't see the that part. Also you really need to get over yourself

I know, I won't even punch my three year old in the face. I'm the worst.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

At least I don't have to hear about Donkey Kong Suh anymore.

Let's get some NFL positivity out there.

Just when I was feeling confident about my team everything goes to shit. Football sucks.

Because they are barely an NFL team amiright

Don't forget beating him across the hands until they bled.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Don't forget beating him across the hands until they bled.

And texting smugly about it to the kid's mom

 

[MechDX]

Leaves in the mouth to bite down on when getting hit?

I posted yesterday about Sean Payton buying 100 jerseys for that PS Bengals player to support his daughter with cancer but it got lost in the shuffle

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Either way, I'd say it falls under the new domestic violence policy.

Oh definitely.

And Goodell's going to try and save his own hide by bringing the boom down on him.

We may not see AP on a football field for a while.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

How will the new drug policy affect Dion Jordan and Reshad Jones? Anybody know?

Suspensions lifted, still unknown if they'll play against the Bills though

Who does Goodell prefer to see beaten?

Children or women?

Weed smokers.

Well this could be awesome.

 

[Himynameischris]

Oh that's good news Dion Jordan was pretty good covering last year, doubt they can implement him into the game plan now but maybe Jones can come in to back up if Wilson is messing up

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

aldon smiths suspension removed, he will play sunday

 

[Fox318]

 

[Elfforkusu]

aldon smiths suspension removed, he will play sunday

Thank you Goodell!

 

[JABEE]

Lane Johnson's suspension is upheld. Dammit.

How does the Aldon Smith suspension get lifted when it was a part personal conduct suspension?

 

[chuckddd]

So under new rules a 4th violation is 10 games, but under new rules his last violation shouldn't count because it was less than the new limit?

I'm so confused.

His last violation was last year, so they're applying the old standard, but the new punishment...

 

[Bowser]

aldon smiths suspension removed, he will play sunday

What?

One player who will not see his punishment change is San Francisco 49ers outside linebacker Aldon Smith. He was suspended for nine games, with four of his games coming due to a substance abuse policy violation. The new policy reflects a 2-game suspension for a first time DUI offense, but I believe Aldon got four games because it was his second DUI. He was arrested in Florida for suspicion of DUI in 2012, but it was reduced to reckless driving under a first-time offender program.
