Additional info in this quote from NBC's site Pro Football Talk (not the podcast):
"The situation also potentially impacts Rice’s probation resulting from the street-racing incident. The agreement was announced in July; if any potential abuse occurred after the five-year period of probation commenced, he could face an argument that he violated the terms of his probation."
Quoted from the Atlantic, an article about a lawsuit Rice's former girlfriend filed arising from the alleged abuse she previously publicized:
*The lawsuit alleges that Rice and Jones previously lived together at homes in the Victory Park area of Dallas and Lee’s Summit, Mo. In the suit, Jones says that Rice strangled her during a December 2023 incident in Victory Park. The lawsuit also alleges that between 2023 and 2025, Rice “grabbed, choked, strangled, pushed, thrown, scratched, hit and headbutted Ms. Jones, as well as hit her with inanimate objects.”
Jones also says in her lawsuit that Rice engaged in other violent behaviors, including “throwing objects, destroying property, punching walls, and breaking furniture, as well as locking her out in the middle of the night.” The lawsuit alleges that many of those incidents took place while Jones was pregnant.*
Tonight DP was 1st one back on defense...except when he got that offensive board.

Definitely assumes a fact not in evidence.
@approxinfinity Are you optimistic about having reasons to be optimistic? When I need a dose of optimism to avoid retreating to a 20-year hideout in an underground shelter, I look at my wife (of 26½ years today!) and realize that she is always a ray of sunshine and hope.
Happy Valentines Day, everybody!
@Jayhawk_69 Same here, mostly because they give me an idea about teams I don’t follow that might warrant paying more attention to.

Nixon had Elvis, in all his regalia, in the Oval office. Now it's Kid Rock and Trump. Any thoughts about who's next? Ted Cruz and ? AOC and ?
Sorry, Nixon believed in diversity (hugging Sammy Davis Jr.! omg!) and would be persona non grata at "patriotic" concerts now.
@Gorilla72 Barstool Arizona is the source? They rank up there in credibility with Brittanica, NE Journal of Medicine, and Sports Illustrated of the golden age (1960s-1990s)?
@BShark Maybe I'm a bit paranoid...that's more than me. And I ain't just talkin' bb players!
The Royals' fun little (5'7") speedster who stole bases and our admiration in 2014 and 2015 died at 34 years old of complications from routine surgery. 
KU's past is as checkered as any "northern" school. Here is an article with Prof Bill Tuttle discussing the subject in 2014: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://flatlandkc.org/news-issues/separate-equal-ku-professor-explores-universitys-complicated/&ved=2ahUKEwiyzPnix8WSAxWymSYFHSjkFB4QFnoECB0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw0dY-Ad0D-wlGo7tgSBQ_CW. (Tuttle was my prof for my history senior thesis in 1978...loved that guy!)
Here is an article about John McClendon, a Hall of Fame coach denied the opportunity to play at KU in the '30s because blacks weren't allowed to play until 1951: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McLendon
Is Flory's outside game good emough for the NBA? Dok never managed to develop one and seems GMs want outside shooting threats.
@bshark You can probably rebound better than a few centers KU has had.
Hold out for a couple mil in NIL, though.
@ROCKCHALK2025 As a judge for 19 years, I found the legal principal of requiring evidence to draw conclusions applies pretty well to analyzing everything in life. In other words, speculation alone isn't probative. But speculation can generate theories about things, but theories without evidence are pretty hollow, so best usually to wait for actual facts.
Nagy hired as OC by NY Giants. Does this rehab his reputation a bit? I've read so many comments on Athletic about Reid pulling the rug out from under him and ruining any chance of Nagy ever getting another coaching job. Guess the great unwashed masses not as smart as they think.
Now, it IS true that going to NYG could break him and send him to an asylum, but hopefully not.
@Tallturd1 said in Darryn Peterson:
just media types doing what they think makes themselves sound knowledgeable
Just like people on this Board all season thinking they can infer facts from the lack of information. I read the CBS guy's article. He has never before seen a discussion between an AD and an agent in a game so therefore it must be...X. Could be any other letter in the alphaber, but no, X is a big conspiracy so it must be true.
@JoJoAndMe said in Darryn Peterson:
And it's interesting that no one notices him hobbling / limping before he takes himself out of a game.
Does the coach count? Self said he saw him moving differently in warm ups and asked if he was ok to go.
And that's on a 10 pt scale!
