In a letter to Peterson, Commissioner Roger Goodell said, "The timing of your potential reinstatement will be based on the results of the counseling and treatment program set forth in this decision. Under this two-step approach, the precise length of the suspension will depend on your actions. We are prepared to put in place a program that can help you to succeed, but no program can succeed without your genuine and continuing engagement. You must commit yourself to your counseling and rehabilitative effort, properly care for your children, and have no further violations of law or league policy."
[...]
In his letter, Commissioner Goodell identified several aggravating circumstances present in this case:
"First, the injury was inflicted on a child who was only four years old. The difference in size and strength between you and the child is significant, and your actions clearly caused physical injury to the child. While an adult may have a number of options when confronted with abuse – to flee, to fight back, or to seek help from law enforcement – none of those options is realistically available to a four-year old child. Further, the injury inflicted on your son includes the emotional and psychological trauma to a young child who suffers criminal physical abuse at the hands of his father.
"Second, the repetitive use of a switch in this instance is the functional equivalent of a weapon, particularly in the hands of someone with the strength of an accomplished professional athlete.
"Third, you have shown no meaningful remorse for your conduct. When indicted, you acknowledged what you did but said that you would not 'eliminate whooping my kids' and defended your conduct in numerous published text messages to the child's mother. You also said that you felt 'very confident with my actions because I know my intent.' These comments raise the serious concern that you do not fully appreciate the seriousness of your conduct, or even worse, that you may feel free to engage in similar conduct in the future."

Whats up fuckers! been awhile for all those I don't see on instagram.
lol Fisher is awesome
Jeff Fisher Expertly Trolled Washington By Making All Six Active Players Acquired in RG3 Trade the Captains Today
Jeff Fisher came up with the masterful troll move. According to Jim Thomas, he made the six players who are on the Rams active roster as a result of the RG3 trade the team captains for today’s game.
The Rams won 24-0, shutting out Washington on the same day there was a story that maybe Colt McCoy would be Jay Gruden’s franchise quarterback, so unfortunately, fans don’t even get a single topping for free in the D.C. area.

As of right now, there are 6 teams who have won 3 games or LESS. Thats fuckin pathetic.

1 team with 3 wins, the rest with 2....I hope the Raiders stay there, Tennessee, Jacksonville and NYJ play each other so someone is getting at least 3 wins...Raiders have the bills at home sandwiched by 2 losses, I think the Chiefs want payback and the Broncos have just steamrolled us since getting Peyton even tho they'll probably rest their starters
