The NFL Friday news dump is up and running.

Suspended Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson's appeal was denied and he will not play this season. Appointed arbitrator Harold Henderson (appointed by Roger Goodell, that is) found no reason to vacate the initial NFL finding in Peterson's discipline handed down in the wake of his plea bargain following charges of abuse involving a child.

Henderson listened to oral arguments from Peterson's camp and the NFL on Dec. 2 and Dec. 4.

Peterson intends to take this to federal court.

1. So Rice is cool, but Peterson is not.

Somehow, I fail to see the sense of this. They should both be under indictment.

2. I think we should lock him up

for 1000 yrs for what he did to that child. Punish him so hard that he would no longer be able to take care of his son. That will teach him and anybody else who wants to use corporal punishment on their child.

4. is Ray Rice ever going to play again?

my understanding is,
he is an older, beat up, running back,
that would be a mere shadow of
previous self.

5. So apparently

beating your kid is worse than hitting your fiancee/wife. Some justice, anyway.
