He beat his kids and paid the price. Time to go back to work full-time and get hit a lot harder.

This is a solid pick up for the value. Considering previous FA signings from Loomis this one has good risk vs reward aspects that can't be denied.

As for those people thinking a RB with our first pick would make sense I have to believe that where you are posting from they've made recreational marijuana legal, or you have a medical card!

I for one wouldn't mind seeing those 2 1sr rounds turn into a higher pick for someone much higher in the pass rush ability department. Total pipe dream on my part would be to hope Browns are really stupid (good historical background for this assumption) and give us their 1st for our two picks.

DBs are plentiful and I think with what we've got a little further back talent could be developed into a good contributor with a chip on his shoulder. It's funny how people on boards are slamming our def from last year but never accounting for the fact that we basically lost our starting lineup in the secondary by game 2.

AP, hope he contributes and is a model player for the team and community. I'd like to see him and Ingram running out of the backfield at the same time. That's a dual threat that could baffle a Def Coord and really mess with coverages that allow the WRs to shred secondaries. Let alone the middle would open up and if Fleener can get it together that open seam down the middle will be able to gut defenses.

Just my 2 Lincolns.
Looking forward to the draft regardless.

You keep saying he's done this to his kids for years... Where's the evidence of that?

I haven't really held a high opinion of him, as a person, but it actually had little to do with this incident with his kid. My deal with him is that he apparently has kids all over the place, from different mothers, and he just kind of goes about his life. I don't respect that. But I don't think he's a monster, and I think the incident with his child, though clearly a mistake, was probably overblown. But I don't know for sure.

What I do know is that the fact that he got "convicted" doesn't actually change the point of the subject. Parents get thrown in prison for almost nothing these days, if some nosy person decides to report them for disciplining their kids. So naturally AP would get convicted. I have no way of knowing what his intentions were that day, but a court ruling against him was not hard to see coming, given this age of wussification.

Well I was spanked, too, and it didn't make me abusive or get beat up. You're telling people, who got spanked as kids, how it would affect them when they just told you how it positively affected them. Think about that.

Do you have kids? If you don't, then you really don't know of what you speak. There is a reason that kids these days are spoiled, and think they know everything. They have a false sense of superiority and entitlement, because their parents don't have the guts to tell them when they are doing the wrong thing. And THAT is what leads to abusive behavior, as much as anything.

Of course there is such a thing as going overboard with discipline. If someone can confirm that this wasn't an isolated incident with Peterson, then I'll call him out on it. But anything can happen in a one time deal. Kids are precious, and can be really sweet, but they can also drive you crazy at any given moment. You have to do the best to manage your emotions in that situation. I can also speak from experience that I don't always handle it the right way. I certainly don't beat up my child, but I have definitely gone overboard in the heat of the moment.

He is a different generation. I was whipped with a leather belt.

Re: IT'S OFFICIAL: Adrian Peterson signs 2-year deal with Saints
 

Same for me and my siblings. And we sure didn't like it, but we knew what it was about, and we knew our boundaries. And this wasn't really all that long ago. It's amazing to me how quickly society turned into a giant pillow fight.

Re: IT'S OFFICIAL: Adrian Peterson signs 2-year deal with Saints
 

I don't understand, why are kids allowed to be beat, but any other human that is hit in any fashion is considered assaulted? Why are children the only ones we feel it okay to hit? I don't hit my dog....this seems absolutely silly to me.

Kids are growing up with a different sense of entitlement and lack of respect, I am in education and I see it. It is not because they are beat less, it is because they are placated and never have to learn to deal with adversity. Teach your child that things are not going to go their way sometimes and how to handle that. Doesn't require beating them at all. Just requires you to be strong and not give in. Nothing is harder than watching your child cry and feeling like you hurt their feelings, but there is no greater gift you can give them. Doesn't require beating them. Beatings come when you haven't taught your child correctly from the time they were small and now you can't handle the monster you created so you must go off the deep end and beat them. sick!
