Adrian Peterson's Son

I rarely speculate on events and I rarely report on things I don't feel are news worthy such as the the Ray Rice media storm. We don't even know if Peterson whooped his 4 year old son. but we do know that one of his kid was killed by one of his ho baby mama's boyfriends. Chances are that Peterson did not do this.

A 2-year-old son of Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson died on Friday in a Sioux Falls, S.D., hospital, the victim of alleged abuse by a man who was dating the boy's mother, police confirmed.

Peterson's father, Nelson Peterson, confirmed Friday afternoon that the child is Adrian Peterson's. Peterson met with the media Friday, hours before the boy passed away, and said at the time he still planned to play in Sunday's game against Carolina, but declined to get into details about the case.

Peterson posted a statement on his Twitter account after news of the child's death.

"Thank you to my family, my fans and fans of other teams for their support. The NFL is a fraternity of brothers and I am thankful for the tweets, phone calls and text messages from my fellow players. God Bless everyone and thank u so much," Peterson wrote in three tweets.

Police arrested Joseph Robert Patterson, 27, who was initially charged with aggravated assault and aggravated assault on an infant. Sioux Falls police said additional charges are being considered.

Ray Rice: Media Piling On

My esteemed colleague Dr Bear will probably disagree with me on this but I am going to say the politically incorrect thing. Ray Rice is being treated unfairly and here is how I got there. I watched the video. Before Ray and his then fiancee Janay Palmer not Janay Rice  stepped into the elevator the video show her taking a swat at him. In the elevator she takes another swing at him and he backs off then she charges at him and that is when he belts her or pushes her away with his left hand.  Ray Rice is right handed and generally when someone is attacked they use their left to block an attack and that is exactly what Ray Rice did.

Now the media is piling onto Ray Rice and the NFL and calling the incident a beating when in reality there was one blow struck that looked more like a push to me. The damage was done when she struck her face on the railing in the elevator and that is where the damage occurred.

I, Fat Bastardo and sick of the double standard. Men don't hit women implies that it is OK for women to hit men and women hit men all the time. How many other times did she hit Ray?

Here is the video. She goes after him first. http://mashable.com/2014/09/08/ray-rice-video/
