sammymvpknight Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 With the recent significant negative rep from NFL players, I wonder if the NFL is going to be more likely to be swift in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AP_allday2869 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 It sounds like Cook was acting in self defense when his house got broken into and got maced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Ugly situation all around. Whether Cook was acting in self defense in his own house, it’s still an ugly look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadpulse Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Not going to speculate in a he said she said situation. More curious as to how this effects his playing status. Wonder if the Vikings do anything or if the NFL will step in. Considering this is a civil suit much like Watson, I imagine it will be up to Minnesota to do anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It very well might be settled out of court as well. I suspect both parties may be interested in that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It very well might be settled out of court as well. I suspect both parties may be interested in that option. Given it's a civil action, there's nothing happening here for this season. Criminal charges, different story. Keep in mind the text is from her - it can't be confirmed yet just from that screen shot if it's Cook. That's easy to confirm if it's him or not (much like AB's emails to his trainer were able to be confirmed). On the flip side, if Cook's version that she entered his residence unlawfully is correct, as crazy as it sounds, he can argue self-defence (which if true, is likely why criminal charges weren't in play yet). It's ugly ALL the way around - but this is yet another case where the whole process needs to play out. From a football perspective, there's zero 2021 impact without criminal charges. 2022 offseason, different story. But much like the Von Miller case (where his ex-GF alleged DV while she was pregnant, then recanted, DA's office closed the criminal case, nothing happened) - this kinda needs to play out, beyond the sensationalism. The layers to this case are already incredibly more complex than even a "typical" civil suit (which are never straightforward).

sammymvpknight Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Lol Dalvin Cook is a buffoon. Epically stupid. You’re going to admit to wrongdoing in a text? If that is a real text, Cook should be suspended…for stupidity at the very least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
