Given the way the NFL likes to pick & choose when they feel like handing out discipline, I doubt this will fall under tampering, but it is pretty odd that the Dallas Cowboys twitter would talk about how Adrian Peterson being reinstated would make the Cowboys a contender. Peterson was officially reinstated earlier today. He is still a member of the Vikings so not sure how that makes Dallas a contender unless there are things in the works behind the scenes. But if so would Jerry Jones and the Cowboys be dumb enough to allow a tweet possibly signaling that to go out? Sports are full or rumors and this is just another one but it is intriguing.

That would then allow him to play this season as long as the Vikings wanted him to play. The Vikings could choose to just not play him since it will only be a few weeks left in the season by that point and the Vikings are going nowhere fast. The Fact that AP is looking like he might win the appeal is big news however because it will be another black mark on Roger Goodell’s term as commissioner when it comes to player punishment.

Ray Rice is finally free of his ridiculous suspension and is free to sign with any team he so chooses. Earlier today it was announced Rice won his appeal over Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL in regards to his indefinite suspension from the league after footage leaked of him hitting his wife.

Rice has his freedom back and has something to say about it as well.
