• Adrian Peterson Reportedly Reaches Plea Agreement In Felony Child Abuse Case

    It sounds like Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson may have caught a break in his pending felony child abuse case. The former MVP has reportedly reached a plea deal that will allow him to plead no contest to misdemeanor reckless assault. That deal will mean that if Judge Kelly Case accepts it, Peterson will be placed on probation, have to pay a $2,000 fine and also be expected to complete 80 hours of community service. Ironically this plea will also take any mention of abuse against a minor or family violence off the books completely.

    As if Adrian Peterson hadn't already been disgraced enough thanks to child abuse charges hanging over his head, the Minnesota Vikings running back admitted before a drug test on Wednesday that he recently smoked a little bit of weed.

    Is anyone really surprised to learn that domestic violence chargers exist even behind the scenes in the NFL? Probably not.

The teams' co-owner is David Mandelbaum, a real-estate mogul by day who has a son named Michael Mandelbaum, an attorney. Apparently just last year Michael was in the midst of a rough divorce from his wife, Debra Mandelbaum, when things got heated and she fell down a flight of stairs. After regaining consciousness, Debra told paramedics that a physical scuffle led to her tumble.
