The Vikings have flip flopped on their flip flop and are putting the child abuser on the NFL exempt list.
I wonder if the talking heads will now be able to talk about the abuser again.
I think the reversal had to have something to do with this statement from Anheuser-Busch:

I'm so glad we have beer companies around to serve as our moral compass!
Adrian Foster nails it:

Selling poison from that high horse, domestic abuse an alcohol are synonymous
Although it is a case of biting the hand that feeds you.
I've heard multiple people kiss Kraft and Belichick asses for their actions last summer, but saying they moved "swiftly and decisively" is revisionist history.Makes you appreciated how swiftly and decisively Kraft and Belichick moved on Hernandez. Not that they had any choice, but cutting him before he even reached the jail was the smart move.

It was a full week between the time the Hernandez investigation began and the moment the Patriots cut him. Hernandez was reported as being directly involved with a homicide 6 days before the Pats cut him, and even then they only cut him once it was obvious he'd pretty much be spending the rest of his life in jail.
So can we please stop acting like the Patriots found out Hernandez was involved with a homicide and cut him that same day?
Weak."Reported" means nothing.
Peterson was arrested last Friday, was deactivated, then activated then deactivated early Tuesday morning.
Hernandez was arrested and the Patriots cut him before he hit the police station.
At the very least, deactivated until the legal stuff comes to a conclusion. He's already admitted to doing it.
(Also, AP was the last guy in the world I would expect to see doing something like this, he was always a great guy in the locker room, but reality is reality.)

It's much more powerful and beneficial to society for someone to become a legitimate agent of change (which is why I ultimately changed my stance on Priefer)
I agree with you. I was stating the view of so many on the board and in the media. I didn't use the sarcasm thingy. Those reading this thread know that this rather absurd view is not my own. We are in the minority here on this board.What you really mean is that you like a good lynching without the accused having his/her day in court. Sounds about normal these days.

1 in every 5 beers sold in the U.S. is a Bud Light.
There's a 20% chance Ray Rice was drinking Bud Light leading up to him hitting his then fiancee.
Where is Goodell...where is he? Now is the perfect time to exercise authority and leadership. Get up off the canvas and right this ship. Decisions are gonna be made and the people that have their opinions are already going to not support you for whatever decision you do or do not make. If I were him I would get up, take the reins and show some leadership and continue to manage this league. The NFL needs some leadership right now. The owners (85-90%) only care about cash. Be a leader and lead this League through this difficult time, or simply step down and let someone else do it...
Weak.
Hernandez was going to be charged with murder. Since he wasn't really a flight risk, and since he was a very high profile rich guy, the authorities made sure they did every single thing by the book.
I know it's not popular to be anything but a total homer in this forum, but the Patriots were not as "decisive" and "immediate" as some would like to believe.
