Adrian Peterson Barred From The Vikings
Adrian Peterson is still going to get paid by the Minnesota Vikings but they have relented under the intense pressure and barred the running back from participating in any activities with the team until his child abuse case is resolved. Yesterday, the team said that Peterson would play this Sunday after being inactive last week. Then the story broke that Peterson had injured another son while also punishing him and it would have been laughable, if not so tragic to hear Vikings management try and explain their thought process for letting him play this week. They had no answer and no excuse and finally just gave in. I would imagine that Peterson's lawyers are working overtime to get a plea deal struck which will probably see him getting probation with some anger management classes and community service. After he is sentenced the league will then administer their own punishment so if he wants a chance to play this season he is going to have to reach a plea deal in the next week.
