Well having been raised to fear the wrath of my fathers belt myself I realize it was not that long ago pain for punishment was socially acceptable. Hell Im only 33 now and I remember even some teachers had paddles in classrooms.

Dyk Corporal punishmen still has yet to be made illegal in several states.

I have children of my own now and I must admit I have to fight my first instinct which is to whip their asses when they do something totally agregiius. I have given in to this urge one time spanking my boy with my hand for totally disrespecting his mother. I realize this is largely a learned behavior from my own childhood. Imo It's not easy for individuals and society as a whole to learn new behaviors within a single generation. Dealing with this requires a whole new set of parenting skills that may not be inherent to everybody.

I do not know much about AP case so I will certainly reserve judgement but perhaps in APs case some (and many others) some good counseling and parenting classes can go a long way in reforming behaviors.

Wouldnt it be more productive for the media, nfl and society as a whole to focus on promoting proactive solutions instead of simply which hunting. The NFL being the multibillion dollar megacorp could throw a tiny bit of PR money into outreach programs and promote public services for getting ordinary people and their players connected to resources to help with their issues before they escalate. Not once all of last week has the media provided any tips/resourses on how to defuse an ordinary argument before it escalates into cops being called or resources for modern effective ways to discipline your children. We do not all live in glass houses. The nfl has attention of the nation atm and I feel it has a genuine opportunity to do something redeeming besides suspending a few players to save face.

    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
