The Los Angeles Rams took on the Minnesota Vikings and the Rams fans took on the Vikings fans. According to TMZ , the teams’ fans got to tusslin’ just before the end of the first half when a Rams fan slapped a woman in the face. After that, all hell broke loose. Womens’ hair gets pulled, beers are thrown, and a guy takes 4 punches to the face then throws his attacker over FOUR ROWS OF BLEACHERS! All this white on white crime…such savages.

Revelers everywhere celebrated New Year’s Eve watching Dick Clark attempt a countdown, listening to music, drinking champagne or, in some cases, kissing Lady Gaga . Injured Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, meanwhile, spent Saturday night in the hospital. That’s no fun, but at least he had a sense of humor about it. The perennial fantasy football stud wrecked his knee in the Vikings’ win over Washington on Christmas Eve, ending his season. He had successful knee surgery Friday. That meant celebrating New Year’s in bed, but Peterson was still in a festive mood: Hopefully the hospital staff let Adrian enjoy that ice cream. Give the guy a break!

A football player acting violent? No way! Where they do that at? Minnesota Vikings cornerback Chris Cook was arrested early Saturday on domestic battery charges, and the team said Cook, who has started the past three games, will not play this weekend against the Green Bay Packers. Cook, 24, was arrested without incident after someone called 911 around 2 a.m. to report hearing people across the street yelling and screaming, Eden Prairie police spokeswoman Katie Beal said. The second-year pro was booked on two charges, including one count of domestic assault, and was being held without bail Saturday at Hennepin County jail, according to online records. Prosecutors have 48 hours in which to charge Cook, who has a court hearing scheduled for Monday morning. Bob Hagan, the Vikings’ spokesman, said Cook has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against unbeaten Green Bay. Earlier, the team issued a statement saying it didn’t plan to comment about the arrest until it could learn more about what happened. “We take this matter very seriously and are still gathering all the details of the incident,” the Vikings said. Earlier this year, Cook was accused of pulling a gun on a neighbor in his home state of Virginia. A judge found him not guilty of a misdemeanor count of brandishing a firearm, saying there was insufficient evidence to convict him. Sounds like this cat needs to get his act together. Source
The NFL labor situation is “modern-day slavery,” according to Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson. The running back’s explosive comments were quoted in a Yahoo! Sports story last Friday, the same day the NFL Players Association decertified and the NFL owners subsequently locked out the players. Peterson vented his anger about the owners refusing to open their financial books. “It’s like . . . well, show us. We want more information, and they want to (expletive), going around, saying this and that, just open it up and give us the information we want,” Peterson told Yahoo! Sports shortly before the NFLPA’s decertification last Friday. “. . . If they have nothing to hide, just give us the information. Why not? Obviously, there’s a lot to hide — these guys are professionals, and they’re maximizing what they do. But they know that if all this information comes out, the information the players want, it’ll be right out there for everyone to see. It’s a rip-off — not just for the players, but for the people who work at the concession stands and at the stadiums.” But Peterson didn’t stop there. Many NFL players feel that they aren’t being treated as business partners, but Peterson chose a different term for the treatment. “It’s modern-day slavery, you know?” Peterson said. “People kind of laugh at that, but there are people working at regular jobs who get treated the same way, too. With all the money . . . the owners are trying to get a different percentage, and bring in more money.” Yahoo! writer Doug Farrar apparently removed Peterson’s comments for a time shortly after they were published. The quote already had spread across the Internet, however. Yahoo! included an editor’s note Tuesday that said it was reaching out to Peterson for context to his comments. “I don’t think he meant it in the way it’s going to come across, but the word itself is a problem,” Farrar said via his Twitter account. Peterson, who was selected in the first round of the 2007 draft by the Vikings, will enter the 2011 season — if there is one — in the final year of his rookie deal, a source confirmed.
