Doesn't matter. Still his son.

Show some class! There are more important things than football

Please lay off the meth.

Yeah, should probably waste your time doing meth and making shitty threads. Oh, and being a homophobe. I forgot about that.

Apparently AP doesn't subscribe to that theory.  I can't believe he's going to suit up.   Either way, terrible situation.

[CLTPanther]

He is probably going to suit up to deal with the grief. If you've never experience someone very close to you dying, it's really hard to explain, but I can see where he's coming from. Sometimes it's best to put on the blinders and try to think of something else. He'll arrange the burial at the funeral home tomorrow, play Sunday, and probably have the funeral Monday. There's really nothing wrong with that; it's called coping.

Maybe I am being too harsh but if you ask me, I'll say it's easy for him to suit up because he was not that involved with the kid. If I lost a child, I would honor his memory for at least a weak by just being low profile.

[CLTPanther]

I read others claiming he wasn't involved or abandoned the kid, but in either case, he will still deal with grief. If he was not that involved, he probably is riddled with guilt as well.

AP is such a stand up guy. Sad to hear about what has happened to his son.This goes way beyond the game even know AP did confirm he was going to play on Sunday. Still such a heartbreaking tragedy. The beating of a 2 yr old kid by a grown man what is wrong with people. I could care less if AP rushed for 400 yds against us. God Bless

Sports is such a therapy. 

 

On 9-11 everything was going apeshit at work and we all got sent home. No problems. As I was walking out to my car I wondered if any of the usual Tuesday crowd was playing basketball at lunch. I felt like just running up and down the court would be awesome and even if there were a couple guys it would be great to run around. So I wandered over the the gym.

 

Turns out we had a full court. So I played basketball.

 

AP should absolutely play. It is the best outlet not only for him and his family. He will mourn for the rest of his life. On Sunday he will play a game.

[Miiikey]

Needless to say, my heart goes out to him. This is a horrific situation.

 

From a purely NFL standpoint, my friend said that "a few minutes ago" AP said he isn't playing. Any clarification on this?

What if it was a parent?

I just hope we don't wrecked on Sunday.

[d-dave]

As a father of a 19 month old...this was a punch on the gut. How tragic...

They will be playing a football game Sunday. Yeah.

To those saying he shouldn't play, I'm sorry but you're an idiot and obviously never played sports in your life.  What do you expect him to do, mope in his couch or lay in bed, so people think he's been affected enough?

 

One of the great aspects of sports/working out is leaving the outside world behind and getting emotions out(such as wanting to murder some piece of poo).  Favre had one of the greatest games of his career the week his father died.
