MLB: Jonathan, we're suspending you for 7 games

Seriously. I've kept her in practice by keeping me in line for the last few years, too. :)

YUP! He totally said that, less than five minutes after literally saying "I shouldn't even talk on this issue."

"My goal is always to teach my son right from wrong and that's what I tried to do that day."

We demand equal protection for non-pro-bowlers!

So, Adrian Peterson isn't all that sorry that he hit his son with a switch, but he is sorry that he hurt his son while hitting him with a switch. Makes sense.

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…

It continues to remain amazing to me that even after having a young son of his BEATEN TO DEATH almost exactly a year ago, he continued to believe that an old fashioned "whoopin'" was appropriate.

It's always nice when one's interpretation of "doing the right thing" lines up so comfortably with one's own self-interest.

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.

You'd think the Vikings would have more sympathy for the child after what the Patriots did to them yesterday.

Due process is the new free speech.

It just fucking sucks that this guy of all people is effectively punished with a short timeout.

He said "culpability". The NFL fucking hates that word.

I have mentioned in a previous post that my mom raised 4 kids by herself. She took her frustrations and anger out on us, she beat the hell out of us with anything and everything within reach ( switch, extension cords, vacuum cleaner extension, pots, etc.)I love my mom, she did the best she could but she was wrong. It…

I've been playing fantasy football a long time, back when everything was done manually, and everything we learned about the game came from newspapers and television. It's just how I was raised. So when some second-rate website says I can't switch Adrian Peterson, it makes me wonder what good all this "progress" has…

I made a burner account to comment on this because I think this is one of the small but harmful ways that abuse gets dismissed, "The larger arc of their relationship doesn't fit the typical abusive relationship." The larger arc of my relationship didn't fit the typical abusive relationship, but that didn't prevent me…

I had a client in women's prison, FMC Carswell in Fort Worth. I had a guard pull me aside on a visit and just unload (and I mean unload, the guy was the size of a polar bear, and I just wanted to embrace him) about how 90% of the women in there were in there because they were in abusive relationships with criminal…

What has always cracked me up about that deer video is that the dog had absolutely nothing to do with the whole situation. He was just sitting in the street, minding his own business while that diabolical cat provoked the whole thing.

After the spike, the hotline was immediately flagged for excessive celebration.
