Adrian Peterson - indictment for child abuse/neglect

Since now mister!

 

I'm confident many of the people who read your post feel badly about your experience and wish you had had the opportunity to grow up in a loving and caring environment.  Best of luck to you.

I knew he wasn't the sharpest knife but....

Per the report, Peterson allegedly told a courthouse employee that Peterson “smoked a little weed” before providing a sample on Wednesday.  Prosecutors have requested that Peterson’s bond be rescinded, and that he be arrested.

I'm starting to think Adrian Peterson really thought Pam Oliver was going to give him an orange peanut. 

 

He's one stupid muther ****er. 

In AP's defense, he's not playing this season, so I doubt he gets drug tested by the NFL, so toking a bit isn't that big of a deal, IMO.  He should fire his lawyer, for not telling him that he might have to take a wiz quiz.  

 

 

Only way this get's any better is if AP decided to hop back on the steroid freight train because those testing day's were behind him too.  

None of the players are tested for recreational drugs during the season.

I remember how disappointed I was when Johnny Jolly kept getting caught doing stupid stuff.  At least Jolly was never the face of the Packers franchise like Peterson is/was to the Vikings.

JJ was abusing himself.

If they did test during the season-  they wouldn't have a league and they know it

Ohyeah! Thoese replacement refs. They'd be playing lineback in the NFL instead of replacing the regular refs. Everyone else would be suspended.

I don't know, Goalline.  Those replacement refs are probably smokin pot for their glaucoma 

...And were still blind and stupid, stoned or not.

 

AP knew the rules; probation officers don't mess around, and signing paperwork acknowledging terms and conditions of probation. If he was stupid enough to put himself at risk....

Apparently, not enough pot.

I'm not seeing anything about actually failing the piss test, just verbally admitting to it.

 

First off, this guy might be suffering from mild retardation.  Second, he can use that as an excuse and just say he misunderstood the question in some way.  Example, I thought he was asking if I ever did drugs.  I smoked a little weed once in High school.

I'm no lawyer, but I'm sure confusion is a solid legal defense.

I see where you're going with this. What if a big OL' bag of weed formed itself into a switch and stuffed bear spontaneously morphed into a living version of Brad Childress and whipped that weed into APs testicles and Ray Rice has the video to prove it? 

 

Be hard to prove that didn't happen. 

I always heard you can't defend stupid. 

Minor correction:  AP is on bond, not probation.  Probation, if ordered by the court, would take place post-conviction.

Possible plea deal

Peterson's at home watching Murray tearing it up this year, and AP doesn't want to be out of the limelight. Would the Vikings bring him back? They are at 4-5 and at a crossroads. This is their bye week, so if they get a plea deal in place soon he could be ready to go for their next game. I don't think Viking fans would want him back, but a plethora of sins have been forgotten when it comes to sports heroes. (Ray Lewis, Big Ben, Dante Stallworth, domestic abusers, etc., etc.) Will fans forgive someone who whipped a child?  

 

Goodell would probably reinstate him right away because the matter was solved in the courts. IMHO, yes, the courts have solved the matter according to law, but I'd make AP sit out the rest of this year for "tarnishing the shield." Although, I'd rather he be punished just the way he punished his son.  

He's pleading guilty to a lesser charge. Doesn't change what he did IMHO. Sit his BEE-HIND

He would still have to serve a 6 game suspension for domestic violence I would assume

Don't see AP ever playing another down for the Vikings. 

I'd rather see him convert to tight end.

 

The NFL hasn't suspended him, the Vikes did.

 

I too doubt he plays in another NFL game.

He'll open a day care at the new stadium called "switches-n-stitches". 

 

 

my only thought is that he shouldn't play another down anywhere until he can admit that what he did was wrong.  I have yet to see him state that unequivocally.  he still seems to think "that's the way we do things in the south" is alright justification.

Too many snitches....

 ... from spending riches on bi... easily convinced women.

I'll be shocked if AP isn't starting at RB for the Vikings this weekend  edit.... next game after the bye week. 

 

And make no mistake. The Vikings and their fans will welcome him back with a warm loving embrace, 

and I hope all the defensive players he faces that have 4 y/o children let him know how they feel.

^^^^^^^^^^

 

You're absolutely right, Chilli. When this first came out, I was hearing some Vikings fans say to trade him. Now they all want to welcome him back. Classless. The entire organization, from the owner down to the lowliest fan, is classless.

 

I sure wish I was rich and famous so I could have access to a different justice system.

isn't there a little issue about a failed drug test too at this point?  that got swept under the rug pretty seamlessly it appears....

What drug test?

@RapSheet on Adrian Peterson: "What I'm told is there will not be a reinstatement immediately, but a reinstatement potentially."
