Adrian Peterson's son in critical condition

[No coincidences]

Like I said before

Favre played after his father died


Same thing applies here

Family is family regardless

Just like your doppelganger BB. You get dumber by the day.

Doesn't surprise me that you can't find any kind of perspective on this from your parents' basement, though. On the bright side, it's not like you'll ever have a chance to procreate unless you somehow get a prostitute pregnant.

[WvGambler]

This excuse about AP not having a father is bull shit though. I know a lot of guys who had no father.... I'm sure we all do. Some of them turned out to be caring, present fathers. Just because you didn't have something, doesn't mean you'll automatically grow up to neglect others from having that same thing.

I'm probably wasting my time though. Those who get it, get it. Those who don't, aren't changing their minds because of anything said in this thread. I'm relieved some of you guys can't get laid.

Often times it motivates them to be the fathers their dads never were.

The last line couldn't ring more true in this place.

sins of the father

[ChalkyDog]

Wow. This thread.

Bunch of asshats living in ivory towers casting their moral platitudes on someones life.

Who the hell is anyone to tell someone who just lost their biological son how the fukk he should mourn? If he should play or not?

By all accounts, AP was not in this kids life to begin with, and to put himself in it now - once the kid is gone - is nothing more than a token gesture.

If AP wants to be there, so be it.
If AP doesn't want to be there, so be it.

Point being, STFU with your goddamn idiotic opinions on how a guy should or should not handle losing a biological son.

While you're up there casting stones from high up on the tower, please take a moment to reflect on how big of a hypocrite you are for having issue with how someone deals with this.

Kid lost his life needlessly, and people are on here throwing his biological father under the bus for going to work on Sunday.

Simply put, if you have issue with how AP is handling this, I have issue with you.

he's playing a game, pal...not going and working on big rigs, doing blue collar shit. yes I understand its football, in the end its still a GAME.

[bradthebloke]

does he get paid if he sits it out?

[NrmlCurvSurfr]

he's playing a game, pal...not going and working on big rigs, doing blue collar shit. yes I understand its football, in the end its still a GAME.

i dont even know where to begin...

...you are only earning your $ if you work a blue collar job? chalky is not dumb and if you are going to come at him with something is has to be more than this...i understand these are the threads on which sbr thrives, so the usual's will chime in and stir the pot but some of these responses are so absurd I cant tell if guys are trolling of if serious...dont ever do something you are good at for free...ap is just playing the "game" that everyone plays...for ap, it happens to be athletic in nature

[ChalkyDog]

Maybe this game - his work - is exactly how he is coping with this.

Point being, never - and I can't stress it enough - never question how a man mourns and copes with the loss of his child. (regardless how present that man is in his childs life).

Every man, woman and child has the right to deal with these kind of things however they hell they want. The right.

He is playing because he needs the paycheck for his bills and lavish lifestyle. One game missed and some bills don't get paid. You speak on the man like he is a priest. He banged a whore, shot a load in her, and bounced. Difference between us doing it and him doing it is, he is rich and could have made that childs life really good. I believe he knew about this child with this girl way before the DNA test. He wanted nothing to do with the kid. That makes him a deadbeat. So go play your football game. You got all the money in the world AP. These were the cards dealt to him.

I agree. but we are talking about a guy who said something along the lines of "I want that W this sunday my focus is on football"

come on...THOUGH he did say though before the poor child passed but the child was on life support at that moment.

Exactly.

Casey Anthony went out partying after her child died.

A lot of people had the nerve to criticize her for that.

[jjgold]

The only free pass I will give him is that he is a real fukkin idiot meaning educationally

He can barely speak English and probably has an IQ of 20

Maybe he does not even know better

He just might be one of those guys " I am a football player"

Fukkin nailed it......No one knows the details and exact situation

I actually got to meet AP when he was a rookie and he was all class......Stopped and talked to everyone personally, took pictures with anyone that wanted to, laughing and smiling.....

I just feel terrible for the kid more than anything.....they should have torture punishment for cases like this, just sickening to the core

What about these "Men" in the NFL who don't even know the names of the children that they fathered?

I could give a fukk if AP is tough enough to play this week if he was close to this kid or not, I feel for the life that was taken.

You don't blame the sluts throwing themselves at athletes for a possible payday at all?

It's not an excuse to not be a "father" for your child, I agree.....but its not just black and white

[SteelRain]

That asian guy must've really hated that poor kid, probably felt like a huge loser being alpha'd by ap and raising someone else's child

Oh no. I agree 100%. The biggest loss other than the the life of the 2 year old was the 18 year meal ticket for the "Mother" of the child.

[Minnesota Niice]

What about them? Get a clue bro, you have no idea about how these people live their lives other than chit you see on tv.. No need to stir the pot with what ifs and what about this comments. I'm sure you have some skeletons in your closet and if you were famous they would be put on blast in the media to make you look bad as well. People love getting the dirt on someone

[Marigold HD]

I have a toddler and I can't fathom losing him in a situation like this......I'm extremely upset.

Prayers to all the young helpless children of the world tonight.

[ChalkyDog]

Exactly.

Casey Anthony went out partying after her child died.

A lot of people had the nerve to criticize her for that.

C'mon, Giant. You're better than this low level baiting.

Two situations do not even compare. However, yes, she did go out and party 4 days after she found out her daughter went missing.

The way people deal with this shit is as varied as the people themselves. Hell, shit varies greatly between cultures.

My family celebrates the deceased's life with a very festive "wake". I've had friends where it is disrespectful to even bring up the deceased's name after "mourning" is over.

Point being, let people deal with this how they want. It isn't your kid, it isn't your family, and it sure as shit isn't anyones business how a grown man goes about dealing with burying his son.

LMFAO @ those who will no longer be a fan of AP after this. Get over yourselves, gents.

[bubblebuttluv]

he's playing a game, pal...not going and working on big rigs, doing blue collar shit. yes I understand its football, in the end its still a GAME.

This "game" pays him money.

We bet on these "games" to make money.

People go to work at a job to make money.

Anything that makes you money is a job.

Strippers strip for money, drug dealers sell drugs for money, teachers teach for money, and athletes play a sport (or is it a "game"?) for money. Of course I'm not comparing a drug dealer to a teacher in the sense of morality or anything, but they are jobs.

Don't belittle a man for his work, which in Peterson's case just so happens to be holding onto a ball and running on a field on either a Monday, Thursday, or Sunday.

You're better than this, wagerjunkie.

I think you're over-embellishing the terms "family" and "son".

They don't seem to apply here.

From all reports, Adrian Peterson didn't even know he had this kid in his life. In fact, I just read that he never even met this kid until Thursday when he was on life support. I'm guessing that's the reason he's going to be playing football, not because it's a way for him to be coping through all this.

Adrian Peterson is just another irresponsible scumbag having reckless sex and not thinking about the consequences.

[Koldazzice]

Whether he cared or knew about the kid or was in his life bla bla whatever the case. Either way for some strange reason us as a society feels we MUST take time off to grieve. Thus if AD says I need a week to grieve its more acceptable.

Truth is when my dad died Keeping busy and working harder is what helped me through it. I didn't care any less because I didn't take 2 weeks off and cry in a corner. Some people get therapy in different ways.

you are missing my point...IMO (i hold that right too btw, chalky)...it is more important, to go handle your family business, (the death of your child) which chalky is right we dont know the details, than going to work, which in the end, i stand by by my word. is still a game. he has MORE than enough money in the world to miss a "game" to go handle his family business.

it's not going to hurt his fkn income. but I'm sure someone will respond "but the comradery of being around the guys, being around "that game" is how he copes with death"

its different burying a child. and that is the last i'm saying on this matter.

[brooks85]

not complicated issue, it's common too among blacks. Vast majority grow up without a father that doesn't care at all about them.

AP had a kid with a whore, she had a baby. AP went on with his life. You can tell in his interview he doesn't give two shits about this kid. No one on earth would play if their kid died and anyone who thinks they would doesn't have a kid. A father dying is a walk in the park compared to your kid dying, that's just common sense. Of course, unless you don't give two shits about the kid like AP.

[BigDeem5]

Peterson probably is playing because he cannot run away from this situation anymore now that the kid is deceased

So why not run away from defensive backs on Carolina?

[stealthyburrito]

Lot of mfs riding their high horses into moral battle against AP.

We sure have a lot of saints here at SBR, judging a man and his actions (or lack thereof), defending universal righteousness.

Get a clue people.

[jjgold]

I never got a woman pregnant Stealthy

I know what happens if you do not use protection

Many athletes do not

Is he playing tomorrow??

[stealthyburrito]

He is playing.
