For disciplining his kid a bit too harshly? When I was a kid, i backtalked my mom and she slapped me, but I moved my head and she ended up giving me a very lightly bruised eye. Guess I should have called the cops.

Peterson then texted the boy’s mother, saying that one wound in particular would make her “mad at me about his leg. I got kinda good wit the tail end of the switch.”

Peterson also allegedly said via text message to the child’s mother that he “felt bad after the fact when I notice the switch was wrapping around hitting I (sic) thigh” and also acknowledged the injury to the child’s scrotum in a text message, saying, “Got him in nuts once I noticed. But I felt so bad, n I’m all tearing that butt up when needed! I start putting them in timeout. N save the whooping for needed memories!”

In further text messages, Peterson allegedly said, “Never do I go overboard! But all my kids will know, hey daddy has the biggie heart but don’t play no games when it comes to acting right.”

According to police reports, the child, however, had a slightly different story, telling authorities that “Daddy Peterson hit me on my face.” The child also expressed worry that Peterson would punch him in the face if the child reported the incident to authorities. He also said that he had been hit by a belt and that “there are a lot of belts in Daddy’s closet.” He added that Peterson put leaves in his mouth when he was being hit with the switch while his pants were down. The child told his mother that Peterson “likes belts and switches” and “has a whooping room.”

Yesterday, the National Organization for Women released a statement calling for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's resignation. "The NFL has lost its way. It doesn't have a Ray Rice problem; it has a violence against women problem," the statement read.

First Take host Cari Champion read a passage from this statement on the show, and then debate was embraced. Skip Bayless said that maybe Goodell should go; Stephen A. Smith went full Facebook commenter.

"I'm sorry, I think this woman is off her rocker. I think she's lost her mind," Smith said. "That's right, I said it."

It's basically never advisable to keep saying things after saying, "I said it," but Smith didn't stop there.

"This is the most ridiculous nonsense I've ever heard in my life. Roger Goodell deserves to lose his job? Why are you acting like he's Ray Rice? Roger Goodell didn't hit Janay Palmer Rice. He hasn't hit any women. And by the way, the last time I checked, Skip, why are we talking about the NFL as if it's some cesspool for domestic violence? There's a few cases. It's being dealt with."

Champion stepped in about halfway through, saying, "Well, we gotta wrap," but Smith was working himself up.

"What the hell is this?" he asked. And then he started to yell, ranting for another minute and a half before ESPN cut to commercial.

btw, I know there will be more than enough people to keep him out of serious contention in a particularly bad year for douches in the NFL, but what's the verdict on McCoy's 20-cent tip?

Chichevache posted:

I'm withholding judgement there. If the service was truly lovely, and a group of black men in Philly probably get lovely service pretty often, then I can certainly understand giving a terrible tip as a way of shaming your server. However if the service really was fine than Shady was being pure douche. Right now all we have are two different accounts and not much else.

There was a clarification on that; he evidently meant he -doesn't- hit his 1 year old daughter.

WoodrowSkillson posted:

From reading it looks like he is trying to say that he will physically discipline here in the future when she deserves it, which to me means never but whatever. I do not think he actually meant that he hits his infant daughter.

I can see that, perhaps, he worded his statement terribly and made it seems like he totally does spank a 1 year old.

what is truly stupid is commenting on it at all given the last 3 weeks.

Jesus, have you seen Captain Munnerlyn and Calvin Johnson's musing on the subject?

NFL Front Offices... tell your players to shut the gently caress up about Adrien Peterson's kid.

Maybe they should tell their players to stop beating women and children instead.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Former Southern California cornerback Brian Baucham is suing the school and former coach Lane Kiffin, alleging he was forced to play in a game while ill.

A law firm representing Baucham, AgnewBrusavich, said the suit was filed Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Baucham claims he suffered ''cardiopulmonary damage'' and ''brain injury with neurocognitive deficits'' after he played against California at the Coliseum on Sept. 22, 2012. Baucham's lawsuit claims he was ill and dehydrated before the game, but was ''forced'' to play by Kiffin.

''USC and head coach Kiffin were clearly negligent and acted with conscious disregard for Brian's welfare and safety by forcing him to play ... despite his verified medical history and seriously ill condition,'' said Bruce M. Brusavich, Baucham's attorney.

Baucham, who had sustained a concussion two months earlier, collapsed on the field in the fourth quarter against Cal. He was taken to a hospital by ambulance and spent several days on a ventilator.

A brain scan later revealed Baucham ''had sustained a brain injury and had bleeding in the brain,'' the lawsuit said. Baucham has no memory of the second half of the game, according to his lawsuit.

Baucham, a fifth-year senior in 2012, didn't play for the Trojans again. The lawsuit also claims USC attempted to revoke Baucham's scholarship after his injury, but Baucham and his family fought the school until he graduated.

The lawsuit doesn't name an amount of damages Baucham is seeking.

USC athletic director Pat Haden issued a statement Monday night.

''It wouldn't be appropriate for us to comment on this lawsuit, and due to privacy laws we cannot comment on the specifics of this case,'' Haden said. ''I will say that I am confident that we provide excellent medical treatment to our student athletes and that their health is always our primary concern ahead of any athletic competition.''

Baucham was a backup defensive back at USC in 2009 and 2010, but was ruled academically ineligible for the 2011 season.

Kiffin was fired in 2013 after going 28-15 in 3 1-2 seasons at USC. He was hired as Alabama's offensive coordinator in January.

Former USC tailback Stafon Johnson sued the school and a former assistant strength coach for negligence in 2011, 16 months after Johnson's throat was crushed in a weightlifting accident. The suit was settled in January 2012.
