stevegrab Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 You do recognize that Adam Schefter is just a reporter, he isn't the NFL, so he can say all he wants about believing AP will play, that doesn't mean he will. Listen I am not saying I agree with the NFL actions, or them dragging it out. But if anybody thinks they have all the facts and understands what is going to happen with AP they are kidding themselves. That includes Schefter, Mort, Boomer, Gruden, the NFLPA, AP, his attorneys and even the almighty InTomWeTrust. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTomWeTrust Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I recognize Adam Shefter is not "just" a reporter, hes the best reporter there is. He has more inside info that any reporter I've probably ever watched over the years in ESPN.. You always have that one reporter that is obviously the #1 in each sport.. We see it was Stephen A. Smith in NBA for a long time Shefter is obviously the Steven A. of NFL He doesnt say stuff like that without some soft of info.. its obviously a battle in these kinds of things... But who has the leverage is what matters and he obviously believe its AP and his team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'm wondering if this is just show from the NFL. If they ruffle their feathers & make the NFLPA out to be the bad guy in getting Peterson reinstated then they can still have their cake and at least get a bite too. I believe he will be reinstated and sees the field by week 13 and I just banked a 5th round pick next season on it. Still going with this. I believe right now it's all show. NFL doesn't want to look insensitive & the NFLPA wants to use this as another chess piece vs Goodell. I'm betting this gets resolved within a week & he's back in time to play the Panthers.

InTomWeTrust Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 So whats going on with the hearing phone conference thats supposed to take place 2 hours ago??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Huh, looks like my gut feeling was wrong. When I left MN the general sentiment from local honks (both in the media and just fans) was that the team would stick by their guns and sit him regardless of what played out in the courts. Media nightmare. Sponsors cut bait immediately. Why the Vikings would play him in what amounts to a lost season is just stupid. But whatever.... I'll eat crow once he's back on the field.

I have no idea whether he plays this yr or not but to answer your question..Because they're paying him ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I have no idea whether he plays this yr or not but to answer your question..Because they're paying him ? Have to figure out what the return on that investment is if it costs them more sponsors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsosi Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Why the Vikings would play him in what amounts to a lost season is just stupid. Curious about what the Vikings options are if he gets reinstated, if they in fact didn't want to play him. (i) Release him?; (ii) Suspend him, but on what grounds?; (iii) Let him join the team, but bench him on game day? It's a messy situation with lots of legal and CBA issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
