No. The Constitution guarantees "due process" before the government deprives you of something. Sending him to jail without a trial would demean due process. But the Minnesota Vikings don't owe him the benefit of the doubt, and neither do you and neither do I. And — as I mentioned in a different post earlier today…

This is a three-scoop ice cream sundae of bullshit with a cherry on top. I am not sure anyone has questioned whether he loves his son or whether he is perfect, so his statements that he does and he isn't are utterly meaningless. And the law doesn't require intent to injure, so his statement that, in effect, "I meant…

You are absolutely correct to focus on the rules and what the policies in force say, etc. But I think you (and the other commenter who understandably disagreed with me) are missing is how serious this is for the NFL right now . . . the level of media scrutiny into the NFL's handling of domestic violence is (finally)…

By the way, Tom, maybe Deadspin can get the Vikings to comment on why they didn't feel the need "to allow the judicial process to move forward" when A.J. Jefferson was taken to jail by Eden Prairie police on probable cause of domestic assault in November 2013. They cut him the same day he was arrested.

I respect your argument. It is cogent, reasonable and makes 100% sense. But I still disagree. Goodell is DONE if Peterson starts on Sunday; ergo, Peterson will not start on Sunday. (And, in an utterly pointless symbolic gesture, I am trading or just straight up dropping him from my fantasy team. Stupid? Yes. …

There is no way on earth he is playing this Sunday. Goodell's tenure is already in jeopardy. If a documented child-abuser takes the field on Sunday, he's done. You can come back and star the hell out of this post tomorrow or Wednesday when the league announces Peterson's indefinite suspension.

Let's hope so. I don't want to hear this "culture" or "how he was raised" bullshit. He beat that kid. A four year-old kid. He beat him. Go to jail you fucking psychopath, go directly to jail. I am not someone prone to fits of hysteria (SERIOUSLY GUYS I AM FUCKING NOT!), but man, it is getting tough to justify…

So I am going to be a little priggish and point out that saying "activist hedge fund" is like saying "horrendous Burneko list" or "disappointing Mets' season." They are all activist. The hedge funds that sit around and do nothing are called mutual funds. Oh snap! #financeburn

Those aren't O's and H's, those are a drunk girl's W's and L's . . . she's predicting the Buckeyes will go 2-10 this year. Oh Vodka Samm, you little rascal!

The frozen polenta from Trader Joe's is pretty good.

Note that the Mets managed to blow a lead and lose this game (thanks in large part to six errors of their own). That's right, the player pictured above is on the team that was the better of the two in yesterday's contest. #sadmetsfan

there has to come a point where it becomes unsustainable.

Citi Field is a spectacular place to watch the Mets play; with all the great food and distractions, you barely have to watch the Mets play at all.

Touche. Fair point. But I still stand behind mine.

My thoughts on the ice bucket challenge are complicated and not worth going into here.

+1. I love this.

She'll live. Some people have no appreciation for humor. It gets better every time I read it. After learning about the "fresh shart," we find out that he "made a splash" in 2013.

Technically, "fresh shart" is redundant. I giggled at this for five minutes, then made my wife hang up the phone with her dad so she could come see it. She's not happy with you, Samer.

HUNTER PENCE AGREES WITH ALL OF ALBERT BURNEKO'S LISTS

+ 1. Oh god not this again. I will never back down.
