It's an NFL thread. I would say marijuana is very much "on topic".

I really don't want to sound if I am carrying water for Peterson but.......

doesn't this whole suspension seem as if Roger Goodell is making things up as he goes?

Like a broad interpretation of NFL's personal conduct policy?

Define the policy as you go?

I just cannot believe that this will hold up upon appeal.

But then who knows.....we have a political climate that thinks everything wrong with the country is caused by unions.......whooooooops.......a political statement. Even though no political party was identified since the attitude seems to cross party lines these days.

Per this ex-player, he is making up as they go on.

@sfujita55
And let's be honest. We, the players, need to accept responsibility in the lack of a real policy. Failed to properly address in CBA talks.

At one point I set up a whole bunch of designated threads for multiple lines of discussion, but most of them got deleted by some moderator...

Now you're complaining about what is posted on designated threads?

There's just no winning with you.

I've been saying for a long time that a guy with his money should at least be able to afford a better toupee if not hair implants. And I agree Miles, Goodell is making shit up as he goes along. He didn't have the kiwis to suspend Peterson earlier and gave him a paid vacation instead. Now he decided to suspend him for the rest of the year. I forget who it was that said awhile back that the NFL is on the verge of imploding because of its sheer arrogance. Whoever it was, I agree.

Yeah, it's one of those basic one size fits all, George Jetson snap-on toupees.

Adrian Peterson loses grievance over Exempt List
Posted by Michael David Smith on November 18, 2014, 5:38 PM EST
Chicago Bears v Minnesota Vikings Getty Images

Before the NFL announced this morning that Adrian Peterson is suspended for the rest of the season, he and the league were battling over a separate but related issue regarding his status on the Commissioner’s Exempt List. On that issue, the league has won and Peterson has lost.

An arbitrator ruled today that the NFL was not required to remove Peterson from the Exempt List once he resolved his legal issue by pleading no contest to a charge of injuring his son. Peterson losing his grievance means that the arbitrator agrees with the league’s contention that the commissioner gets to decide when a player comes off the Commissioner’s Exempt List.

That means there’s no chance of Peterson being allowed to play pending the appeal of his suspension. Given that Peterson’s appeal will be heard by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell — the very man who just suspended him — it is extraordinarily unlikely that Peterson will play this year.

Peterson is running out of options, other than to accept his suspension and go through the process that Goodell has laid out that could result in him being reinstated in 2015.

Reusse and some others feel Peterson will take a short-term deal as a 2015 FA, and play in Seattle, replacing Lynch.

Correct. The prevailing belief is that Peterson won't play for the Vikes again, if they can help it.

At least that's how I keep interpreting the information I've been reading. I wouldn't be surprised if the front office and ownership don't want to deal with it, even if the players do.

It really sucks. I'm not condoning what he did; it's awful. But this is ridiculous from Goodell. And they don't care for one second about the kid; they care about making up for bad PR from Rice. Reactionary and over the line, IMO. And the Vikings are complicit in all of this because they are gutless themselves. I hope the NFL gets brushed back, hard.
