Thanks for the comment faith. I wouldn’t describe what I wrote as “rage” but it definetly wasn’t phony.

I wasnt Peterson to learn his lesson now instead of after 3 incidents… that way he can have a long career with the vikes.

And, yes, my mommy is safe… I checked.

Is there any drive in minnesota who when young didn’t double the speed limit on some road? Anyway, it’s a speeding ticket & it doesn’t seem likely it was during rush hour or on a busy road & he wasn’t high affecting his reactions & it seems adrian has decent reactions…all in all, i think your mommy is safe, Adam. Obviously, Adrian needs to learn to hang onto the football & drive more sensably in a nanny state like this. (if you don’t wear your seatbelt, we’ll use force to make you-our guns-as seatbelts save lives.) Anyway, in a true english law situation, Adrian crashing creates a tort-a situation where someone was actually damaged as opposed to an abandonded 6 lane interstate highway with zero turns-and i believe adrian has enough money to pay out a decent amount in tort damages if he runs into someone. Love the phony rage, though.

Interesting take, carter. I can’t say I agree, but I knew that opinion would exist while I was writing this.

I know we’ve all done things we wish we could have back, and we appreciate those that show some empathy. However, it’s better that they do whatever is necessary for him to learn his lesson now than have behavior become a regular problem.

I just dont believe that you treat all players the same. Any coach that says they do is either a liar or a little league coach.

I mean, to bench AD for anything more than a series for this or his fumbles is CRAZY.

Everyone screws up, he’s a young man, he has kept his nose clean so far. While I agree that it was very dangerous, it apears to be a one time mistake.

If it had been say a Ray Edwards or Mad Williams etc. That would be different.

Chili has no choice, he has to do something. Chili has to treat this just like he would with any other player. If he plays favorites, he will get alot of heat

That IS a good one, and I think I’ve heard it before… or some variation anyways.

I’ll be curious to see how they handle this.

Adam,
If sure you heard the one about the Hoover, Older than dirt, Whats the difference between a Hoover and a Harley, The Dirtbag is on the outside of the Harley.

There is no excuse for going that fast, With Chester being banged up, I doubt they would do it, Leave him out for the 1st drive, He would crap if Albert Young was the back up…

Ps: I like harleys he he
