baby boomers
constantly thumping their chest about how hard they had it when they were born with more opportunity than any other generation ever
" my dad whipped me 1,000 times every morning and I had to walk uphill to school both ways in weather that was below freezing!"

"You young people these days are always asking for a hand out and don't want to work. Now shut up and go work hard to keep the medicare program you're never going to have solvent for a few more years!"

In my day we had to walk through two feet of snow in 100 degree weather and we didn't complain.

Don't forget uphill both ways.

Even though it doesn't make any logical sense, I've lost count of how many baby boomers I've heard say their walk to/from school everyday was "uphill both ways!".

Who has more fantasy upside--Asiata or McKinnon?

I would say Asiata for the next couple weeks, but I picked up McKinnon cause I think he has a better upside for the rest of the season. Being a Ute fan I don't think Asiata can handle being the #1 back for a season. I've seen it before.

Good stuff, tenks.

From our ST League:

We are actively monitoring the situation with Adrian Peterson. Until further information is known he will remain on the Can't Cut List.

I'm all for whooping your kid. I got whooped with the belt by my dad. Would not consider it child abuse in the slightest. He'd whoop me a couple times and once I started crying really bad, it'd be over and I'd get a little more of a stern lecture afterwards. And it wouldn't be on bare skin. It would be on a clothed butt. The Adrian Peterson reports are a bit troubling though. Apparently, he used the switch like 14-15 times on the 4 year old? 4 seems young for a beating beyond a couple spanks on the butt. And one time, apparently, the switch hit the kid's testicles... and another time wrapped around the leg. And the pictures posted in this thread are apparently like 5-7 days old, so the initial marks were probably much, much worse.

I figure parents who use corporal punishment on their kids for discipline in general use enough discretion so that it simply gets the point across. The reported excess to which Peterson used corporal punishment makes it seem like he got some sort of enjoyment out of it and it wasn't just about disciplining his child. That's not good.

Without knowing the full extent of the facts and only reading and hearing some of these things, it does appear like this was out of control and Peterson doesn't seem to realize how extreme and egregious his actions were.

I am shocked, shocked to find out that violent men play football.

I just don't understand poor logic. The "I was hit worse than that" logic doesn't stand up under any scrutinty and it's caveman thinking. Just because something was more socially acceptable in a less advanced time, does not mean it is ok now. Could you imagine applying that same logic to anything else?

"Sir, you stand accused of molesting that child and you admit to it."

"Well, yes, but I was molested as a child and turned out ok so you are over reacting"

I wonder if black people are going to pretend that this isn't a problem in their community either?...

Why do the White devils have to punish rich, proud, and strong black men just for educating their children?

Im just curious, explain to me how spanking kids is a problem in the black community? I not saying I condone the act, as I said I'm just curious.

Finally another story for ESPN to talk about so they can leave my Ray Rice alone.

Who snitched on him?

Baby moma and the kid's pediatrician

[Shastafarian]

AP should really be blaming his lord and savior. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Stop strengthening him while he's beating his kids Jesus!

AP reinstated for week 3 vs the Saints.

So much for the thought that he was done this season.

I fully agree... what a flawed logic... really ed up.

Too bad TMZ doesn't have a video to release of the AP child beating. Apparently, they control the suspension times.

there is a big difference between disciplining and beating down... I'm sorry... you can discipline a child without slapping him or using a ing belt

using force against a child is not discipline it's being a coward and a weak er

Pretty much this... es will do things that deserve a beating sometimes but what the can a 4 year old do to deserve that?
