this coming from the voice of reason....genius
I love you and I love this post. So much.They routinely beat 4 year olds with objects to the point of bleeding and bruising? I get some parents think spankings/whoopins are appropriate. That is a different argument. This was a professional athlete with elite strength beating a child with an object 10-15 times causing bleeding and/or bruising to the butt, thighs, hands, and scrotum, while stuffing his mouth with leaves to keep the screams muffled and possibly threatening to hit him in the face if he told his mother or authorities. He also seemingly routinely uses a belt and may have hit him in the face this incident as well. I do not under stand how these macho men or southerners or whomever is defending these actions thinks any of this extremity is OK.From what I've read (although I've skipped a lot) it seems like it is the Texans/Southerners who are the ones saying "but that's how we do things down here".
(not arguing with you-- just dumbfounded by the dumbness on this board yet again)
i wouldnt beat my dog let alone a small child...now i might be inclined to put a wise ### teenager thru a wall or 2 thoI love you and I love this post.

Maybe at one point (maybe - his gf stabbed him at one point, amongst other incidents). But he's either cleaned up his act after getting the help/medication he needed, or he's gotten much better at keeping it hidden from the media.
I watched that live. After that, they awkwardly threw it to Ray Lewis for his turn on the soapbox. Hearing sanctimonious drivel coming from a guy who paid off families of two men he definitely didn't kill was both humorous and pathetic.
Pretty brutal
Is Goodell gonna go back and suspend Marshall for something he did 7 years ago? he just might
Marshall does that stuff today, different story as to how he is treated by the nfl.
If you gave me this quote, unattributed, and asked me to guess who'd said it, I probably would have said Borat.
I am just trying to find consistency to your logic and there is none. Add to it your screen name and bragging about all the fights you have been in, it is just weir.
no...you trying to compare what AP did to a child and what happened in a fight between 2 men where one was shot to death is weird
pushed his brother off a video game motorcycle. You know the big ones you "ride" in an arcade
I am curious where we are heading here.
I really just think the video/picture evidence trumps all. Remember the Riley Cooper racist comments last year? Once it's in pictures/video, it goes viral...it's no longer just a matter followed by serious NFL fans, it becomes a national story.
I'm sure Lewis was reminiscing about the good ol' days, when you could kill someone in the off-season, and show up for training camp ready to go.
Did you hear Ray yesterday when Carter said something about him being in trouble.... Whenever he talks about what happened to him notice he never says a man was "murdered" and he was on trial for his life, he always says "my situation"
Michael Pittman was suspended 3 games for a domestic abuse conviction back in 2004. But that involved him ramming his car into hers while their kids were in the car.
Warren Moon beat and strangled his wife, went to trial and was acquitted because his wife testified that she provoked him. Then went on to have one of his best seasons in the NFL with 33 TD passes. Never missed a beat.
With what is going on right now I would be surprised if he plays anytime soon. Now Hannah Storm is all over it on ESPN. This has turned into a "cause"
OMG, they need to get Hannah Storm off the air now. She is absolutely awful. You could see cris carter get really annoyed with her yesterday saying football is voiolent & that could be why this stuff happens. She just had stupid glazed look on her face the whole time.
Not sure of that, but I do think the NFL is going to do everything to clean up its act. The problem that the league has always had is if one team took a stand and released a guy who beat his wife, or killed someone while driving drunk another team would sign that player the next day. I am not sure that is going to happen as much anymore.
If memory serves, he also got Arthur Anderson's criminal conviction overturned after the Enron scandal.
