2014-15 NFC North/NFL Thread

Reggie Bush everyone!

"I definitely will try to — will obviously not leave bruises or anything like that on her. But I definitely will discipline her harshly depending on what the situation is."  (in reference to his 1 year old daughter.)

I didn't forget a digit there, 1 year old.

Don't blame him, that's what the kid gets for not using real words.

[CreightonWarrior]

Don't have any kids so I don't know but what could a 1 year old possibly do that is so bad it warrants (physical) punishment and would actually understand the punishment?

A DS commentator said and I agree, "If you are disciplining your 1 year old, you are doing it wrong."

[Dish]

So this presser in Atlanta at 2pm CST should be "interesting".

You're not doing it wrong, you aren't fit to be a parent.

Oh come on. It's "cultural".


Fun fact: medical professionals are taught to suspect, at least a little, abuse if a kid shows up with bruises. Except if those bruises are on the shins since kids tend to fall/run in to things frequently. So if you want to get away with beating your kids, hit them in the shins.

[Henry Sugar]

You work for a brewery, so yes, you take this a bit harder than most.  But if you were to venture a guess, of domestic violence cases, you have to agree that a that a significant % involves people abusing alcohol.  Not blaming alcohol companies, but it is a factor, and one that has some importance.

source (where the chart is more legible)
http://www.bjs.gov/content/acf/6_relationship_victim_offender.cfm

Alcohol-related incidents of violence were more likely than other violent incidents known to law enforcement to involve victims and offenders who were in a domestic relationship (47% vs. 31%)

False. One year olds can certainly understand limits and need to be taught acceptable behavior. Otherwise, those little f*ckers get into everything. One year olds are monsters of destruction.

Yeah,  with my 6 week old,  I tend to hold her upside down by her legs until she stops cries.  I mean,  she spit up on my work shirt the other day.   You hear that,  spit up,  right on it.

Pro-tip: hold their head under water and they stop crying much faster.

[mu-rara]

I know you guys are joking, but it's not funny.

[reinko]

I know you guys are joking, but it's not funny.

You are exactly right,  child abuse isn't funny at all.   But humor can be used to make a point and make people critically think. 

[Henry Sugar]

For real though, one year olds can and should learn limits. Otherwise, they keep pulling all the tupperware out onto the floor again.

Or just have them play sports.  No kidding, 3 different times someone(typically the nurse) at a school(3 different schools) I attended reported my parents as abusive because I'd come into school with bruises all over the place.  I just played a lot of sports and played them very hard.  One of the times the principal, who knew my family brought the nurse out to watch me at recess....she apologized for the false complaint.

Sounds like a Chicos story.

[jesmu84]

Jonathan Dwyer, come on down!

[jesmu84]

While we're on the NFL, NFL teams/owners, NFL sponsors hypocrisy, flip-flop train... how about FSU suspending Jameis Winston for swearing in public, but he received no punishment surrounding his rape fiasco?

I agree with this take: http://www.barstoolsports.com/boston/super-page/there-is-so-much-hypocrisy-and-fake-apologies-and-back-peddling-going-on-right-now-in-the-nfl-i-cant-even-wrap-my-mind-around-it/

Jonathan Dwyer, come on down!

Two weeks ago we wouldn't have heard a peep about this guy unless we lived in Phoenix. 

[RushmoreAcademy]

You don't even have kids and you figured it out pretty easily.  I have them and it's equally as obvious.

[jesmu84]

Two weeks ago we wouldn't have heard a peep about this guy unless we lived in Phoenix. 

Yup. And, I'm betting the Cardinals/NFL wouldn't have done anything to the guy two weeks ago and they won't do anything now unless a sponsor threatens to pull money.

[jesmu84]

Nice to see ESPN flip-flopping on their stance as well:

[MU B2002]

Dwyer wanted to up the ante by, allegedly, headbutting his wife and hitting an infant.

Take that Rice and AP!


The Jameis Winston thing is so stupid.  For all the crap he has done while at FSU: crablegs, bb guns and windows, etc. this is what gets him suspended, being 3 months late with an internet meme.

I said it last week, and worth repeating...

TB is f'n awful. That's not even strong enough.

yep...

Watching McCown looking miserable has made me wonder just how good Trestman is with QB's.  He made McCown look like a top 10 QB last year...now?  Josh looks like a joke.

Herm Edwards disagrees with you.
