The Constitution gives all citizens the right to a speedy trial. Vikings running back Adrian Peterson will want to have his trial today, if possible. The Vikings, after bungling the situation on Monday and then finding a way out of the weeds late Tuesday, have created for Peterson a situation in which he now has…

As the Vikings tripped and skipped and clumsily changed course while trying to process the post-Rice reality of the NFL with the desire to get something in return for the millions to be paid to a face-of-the-franchise player, the league office had nothing to say publicly. Well, not nothing. The league office said over the…

Peterson will not play for the Vikings again until his legal proceedings related to the case have run their course and Peterson’s agent…

By parking Adrian Peterson on the Exempt/Commissioner’s Permission list, the Vikings took action to which the NFLPA could have taken offense. But the NFLPA didn’t oppose the move. “Adrian Peterson made a decision to take a voluntary leave with pay to take care of his personal and legal issues,” the union said in a statement. …

Vikings owner Zygi Wilf admitted today that his team screwed up when it reinstated running back Adrian Peterson on Monday, saying today that he realizes now that a player who is under indictment on a child abuse charge should not be playing. “We made a mistake and we needed to get this right,” Wilf said.…

As it turns out, there are people worse at talking about the Adrian Peterson situation than the Vikings front office, or at least one. Lions running back Reggie Bush said he supported Peterson’s method of punishing children, if not the degree to which Peterson took it. “I was punished the same way,” Bush said on…

Adrian Peterson is on the exempt list until his legal proceedings have reached their conclusion and his lawyer said Tuesday that there’s no quick resolution in the works. Rochelle Olson of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Rusty Hardin said that there have been no plea discussions with prosecutors regarding the charges of reckless or negligent…
