Ray Rice and Richie Icognito to form their own league! *OFFICIAL NFL Week 2 Thread*

[rockyct]

The Seahawks are beatable away from home, but then so are the Chargers at home. Interestingly enough, the Chargers are toughest when they play in Denver, Philip Rivers is quite at home there.

I think Rivers gets a bit more amped up when everyone is expecting them to lose. Even most Chargers fans this week are expecting a loss and especially with the heat Rivers took last week, I expect him to have a chip on his shoulder. I still generally expect the Seahawks to win though.

Agreed.

Im a big NHL fan and I really don't catch wind of too many crimes happening outside of games. Generally don't hear much talk about players being arrested and don't hear tons of talk about PEDs either. Not sure why really...

Wellllllll, I have an idea but I'm not going to say it here.

You should google NHL and arrests

According to the Ottawa Sun, Giroux was arrested around 9 p.m. for repeatedly grabbing the buttocks of a male police officer at a bar.

Oh noez?! Drunk Canadians doing drunk things?! That's almost the same as knocking out your fiancée!!

Either way, the part that's actually the most despicable about this situation is how the NFL handled it. Apparently, they've had the entire video evidence since April of this year, and only now after the public has seen it, do they do anything.

They tried to sweep domestic violence under the rug.

Surprised to see green bay as #1 survivor pick for the week. Pretty bad oline against a top 3 defensive front 7, wouldn't want to bet so heavily on that.

I don't quite get this for a 4yr old. Also, to hit him so many times, and hard enough, to have big welts and for it to hit his nuts?

I was spanked a few times when I was a kid, most of it when I was *really* bad. But to *that* when it was just a simple case of pushing? Are you kidding me?

revised drug policy approved. welker could play this weekend. gordon suspension likely revised to 10 games, peterson will be innactive this weekend.

Adrian Peterson, Child abuser

at first I was like, meh.
...then I read the details of the injuries, the texts, and 4 year old.


...what the holy fuck. Good thing he just teaches the kid what he was taught: negative reinforcement sure won't work, but it sure as shit will feel good years later when you can reciprocate!

I wonder if this is one of Adrian's kids that he visits every once in a while..considering the kid calls him "daddy Peterson."

wtf. when you think about that, what authority does he have to simply beat a kid that he rarely sees?

 

[zinfamous]

by the way, rudeguy: your NFL threads are really depressing this year!

screw you, rudeguy!

 

[Crono]

You would think that he would be the opposite, softer on discipline considering what happened to his other son.

I read this article on the Adrian Peterson child abuse story and I'm not really sure what to think. It doesn't give details other than he used a switch and the boy have bruises.

Would I do that to my kids? Hell no. But people do whip their kids and I'm sure everyone has so grandma the talked about getting whipped with a switch. This one article makes it seems murky

The pics look pretty bad, especially if he even admitted he hit the nuts. All over one of his bastard kids pushing another bastard kid?

And the whole "god" angle is such fucking bullshit.

Hopefully this gets rid of the "good guy" image everybody fawns all over him. And as far as taking it easier after his "kid" was born, please, he was a sperm donor, just like he was a donor for multiple other baby mommas. He doesn't care about them. This whole "he's a good father" is a carefully crafted PR scheme to keep his brand image as clean as possible while he's creating single moms behind the scenes.

What Adrian Peterson did was clearly abuse. That's way overboard. I've smacked my kid on the butt and the legs with flip flops as punishment but I would never, ever, hit the kid hard enough to cause cuts or welts. I don't even allow my child to be hit in the head even if it was just a slap. What I'm doing is trying to teach the kid right from wrong, not cause permanent damage.

FUCK YOU ADRIAN PETERSON AND RAY RICE. Every time I turn on sports radio I have to turn it back off. All this talk of wife beating and child beating on the airwaves is depressing and takes away from my enjoyment of sports.

Thought the exact same. At first I was meh, then when I started reading details, he obviously went overboard.

Incognito got a bad rap, Rice not so much...

 

[akugami]

I'm setting a line of 5.5 for how many INT's the NFC East QB's throw today (not counting the Eagles game tomorrow). What say you Anandtech, is it going over or under?

Over, easily - between Romo and Eli, easily.

When healthy he is not over rated. trouble is he gets hurt far far to often.

Don't think he was saying RGIII is overrated

Yea, kind of reminds me of Gronk although Gronk's more of an impact player when 100% IMO. Pat's ahead 17-7 so far but are killing themselves with penalties, 6 called so far and it's only the 2nd qtr, luckily for them Cassel has challenged Revis twice and both have resulted in picks. Edelman is having another stellar game and the O-line is doing better than last week's debacle at Miami..
