Sure wish Target would pull its sponsorship of the Twins for the fan abuse the team has inflicted the past four seasons.

I don't think that's true. As Cris Carter said, sitting guys is the only thing that will make them pay attention. Yes, would be better without pay, but I still view it as a punishment, and I suspect guys with a lot of pride who live for playing on Sundays do as well.

There are only so many NFL games players will be young enough and healthy enuogh to play in. They don't want to miss a single one.

When Adrian Peterson is getting paid 14/16 of $1M to sit on the couch, he is not being punished. I'm sorry, he just isn't. The paycheck is more than enough to sooth his wounded pride.

Can we get Chip Kelly to manage our baseball team?

Sleep too.

He is also a stickler for his players getting enough sleep.

VikingsMessageBoard.com, a longtime board devoted to discussion of the Minnesota Vikings, has shut down forever because of its owners' disgust with the burgeoning Adrian Peterson scandal. And oh, are there plenty of people to be disgusted at. Sure, there's Peterson himself, indicted on charges of child abuse. But the proprietors of the message board also offered the following note, via SB Nation:

Vikings Message Board has been shut down permanently. It will not return. There are two primary reasons.

1. The Vikings' cowardly decision to reinstate a child abuser and think that an apology will make this blow over. We will not stand for this arrogance and we will no longer be the home of any support of the Vikings. We stand for those who cannot defend themselves.

2. We will not give a voice to thugs who think child abuse is "cultural" or worse, openly advocate child abuse as a reasonable method of punishment. This ends here. Yes, a few board members have ruined it for everyone. Congratulations, [jerks].

You're probably right but when I see the ignorant, inflammatory comments made on some boards I don't blame the guy for walking away. Besides why should he be any different - Do people like Rush Limbaugh, etc allow people to discuss issues? No, any dissenting viewpoint is dismissed and ridiculed.

PALESTINE, Texas — David Cummings and Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson still talk about the frequent whippings Peterson's father administered — and one whipping in particular.

Cummings says he and Peterson were leaving football practice while in middle school when Peterson's father, Nelson, was waiting near the parking lot.

School officials had called Nelson Peterson to report that Adrian had been disruptive in class, recalled Cummings, who played football and basketball with Adrian Peterson during their youth and through high school.

"His dad asked what happened, and Adrian told him," Cummings said.

With that, Nelson Peterson unstrapped his belt and whipped Adrian Peterson in front of more than 20 students, Cummings said.
