Booker Bowie, who was Peterson's defensive coordinator at Palestine High School in Texas, told the Daily Mail that he used to smack Peterson with an 18-inch long wooden paddle. Bowie called that "tough love" and afterward, Bowie said Peterson would respond by saying, "Coach, thank you."

Reggie Bush: "I most definitely discipline my daughter. I have a 1-year-old daughter, and I discipline her. Obviously, every person is different, and I definitely will use my best judgement to discipline her depending on the situation and what happens. I definitely will try to obviously not leave bruises or anything like that on her, but I definitely will discipline her, harshly, depending on what the situation is."

WTF.

He disciplines a one year old. Obviously there's something seriously wrong with a person who could ever discipline 1-year old (not talking about telling them "no you can't pull the cat's tail" but striking them). Bush is clearly hosed in the head. But the real reason we know he's hosed in his head is that, immediately following two of the biggest abuse scandals in (recent?) pro-sports history, he thinks it a perfect time to tweet that he disciplines his one year old but tries not to bruise her, and looks forward to harshly disciplining her as soon as necessary.

What a piece of poo poo.

CBS released a statement saying they will NOT use Rihanna's performance going forward, saying, "Beginning this Thursday, we will be moving in a different direction with some elements of our Thursday Night Football open. We will be using our newly created Thursday Night Football theme music to open our game broadcast."

Their PR team must be top notch.

Forgot to mention that Rihanna got all pissy when they pulled it off last week, so she went on a twitter tirade telling them to gently caress off.

Why can't we just have harmless NFL "scandals"?

Like Tom Brady in the front of a man train? Or anything else that would cause Patriots fans to be mentally miserable instead of just annoying fuckwits?

Also anything to annoy Texas football fans. Or something that could make Football games run maybe an hour including commercials so I might want to bother watching the Giants, preferably games where they stomp on the Patriots because gently caress the Pats. No the latter isn't a scandal but I might actually watch Football if they didn't make it so loving boring.

The "Love Boat" deal back in '05 was pretty harmless. It was awkward as hell, but no one got hurt.

Asked if any women had been involved in the decision-making process concerning the Rice case, [Steve Bisciotti] said, “Unfortunately, we don’t have a female president, G.M. or coach,” before joking that maybe if his head public relations man would leave, there would be an opening.

He also said the team would have a domestic violence policy at least as tough as or even tougher than the one the N.F.L. has adopted. But he warned that strict policy might come with pitfalls, like “opportunistic” people coming forward with false accusations.

His advice to players?

“Be paranoid,” he said. “Say to yourself, ‘Tonight’s the night someone’s going to put me in a bad situation.’ It’s really healthy to be paranoid when you’re out and about.”
