On Wednesday Cheap Alex
Smith Jersey , one day before Washington running back Adrian
Peterson played on one of the biggest stages of the season, a Bleacher Report
interview emerging containing quotes from Peterson indicating that he still
spanks his son with a belt, four years after facing felony child abuse charges
and a lengthy NFL suspension. On Thursday, it was hard to find any mention
whatsoever of this develop
ment.Peterson, one of the best players in league
history and a sure-fire Hall of Famer, nevertheless subjected himself to
scrutiny from the league by saying what he said, ground rules of the interview
notwithstanding. But the NFL has issued no comment regarding the matter, and the
TV coverage of the Washington-Dallas game contained scant, if any Cheap Ryan
Kerrigan Jersey , references to the situation.Is it potentially a
big deal? Based on the plain terms of the letter that the league sent to
Peterson in 2014, yes. Given that the situation surfaced the day before
Thanksgiving, there likely wasn’t much that the league could do before
kickoff.Still, given the post-Ray Rice commitment to aggressively investigating
and disciplining players for off-field misconduct, and in light of the facts
that gave rise to the problems Peterson encountered in the immediate aftermath
of the Rice fiasco, the widespread silence approaches deafening.A Friday
statement wouldn’t be a surprise; the league will have a hard time saying
nothing at all, given that the statement issued on Peterson’s behalf does not
contain a clear denial that he said what was reported. At a minimum, the league
presumably will ask Peterson clear, direct questions regarding what he said
and Youth Chase
Roullier Jersey , more importantly, what he does when imposing
discipline on his children.The passage of time is irrelevant. If there’s still
an issue, it’s impossible for the league to ignore it. So the first step will be
to explore whether there’s an issue. Whether the league makes a comment or not,
the NFL would have a hard time reconciling doing nothing with everything the
league has done since 2014 to police the private lives of its players.
Washington cornerback Josh Norman was benched for the start of the second half
of Monday night’s loss to the Saints, for reasons that weren’t publicly
explained. Now an explanation has emerged: Norman put on headphones at halftime,
and didn’t take them off when coach Jay Gruden addressed the team.That’s the
word from Kevin Sheehan, former longtime host of the team’s pregame show, who
said on his podcast that the benching was about Norman’s behavior in the locker
room at halftime and not his play on the field.“The reason Josh Norman was
benched for the start of the second half against the Saints had very little to
do with him getting lost in coverage,” Sheehan said Youth Josh
Doctson Jersey , via Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post.
“At halftime, according to my source, he put his headphones on while the coaches
were addressing the team. Jay Gruden told him to take them off. He either didn’t
hear Jay or he ignored him, but with that, I was told, the headphones were
removed. By whom? My source says that he believes it was Gruden who removed the
headphones from Norman’s head. But regardless, Gruden benched him to start the
third quarter, and that was the reason why. My source also tells me that there
is not a lot of good vibes when it comes to Norman among several of the coaches
right now. Not much they can do about it.”That the coaches can’t do much about
it is a result of Norman’s contract: He’s in the third year of a five-year, $75
million contract Youth
Quinton Dunbar Jersey , and if they were to cut him this season his
dead cap would be $22.3 million.But it sounds like the coaches would cut Norman
if they could. John Keim of ESPN reported that Norman’s benching “was definitely
something between Gruden and Norman that got a little heated and definitely not
because of him getting beat in coverage.” In other words, the fact that Norman
did not play well was not even the biggest problem, in the minds of the coaching
staff.Washington will host Carolina on Sunday, which means Norman is facing his
old team. He should be motivated personally, and Washington should be motivated
by the fact that a win will put them in first place in the NFC East. A big game
from Norman in a win would go a long way toward cleaning up what now looks like
a mess.
