I'm going to make a prediction: Peterson won't play on Sunday

The Vikings miscalculated in hastily reinstating him. Now advertisers are starting to weigh in. Governor Dayton has said he should be suspended. So has Franken. Anheuser-Busch has strongly expressed their disapproval. Nike has pulled his jersey.

By Thursday or Friday, the Vikings will say something along the lines of how they have new information and they'll pull him from Sunday's game.

Money talks.

You could be right.

Police, teachers and firemen will get suspended with pay in situations like this...can't the NFL do the same...oh, that's right, they don't take this seriously.

it's the 2nd incident. One isolated incident the attorney could explain away (and Rusty Hardin is incredibly good) - but under Texas law the DA is allowed to use 2 incident to show a pattern. He's toast.
