I heard. Hitting his kid with a switch or something, right?

Yeah apparently he hit his child with a switch,I guess it had to have been pretty serious for the police to get involved but I don't know much more about the story other than that. It seems to be a certainty at this point that he won't be playing this Sunday.

Yeah it's pretty serious.  At first I thought it was people just going overboard...then I saw the police photos of the 4 year old child, that somehow did something so abhorrent as to warrant a beating that left bruises and cuts on his thighs, back, and scrotum.  I'll be the first to admit that as a kid, I earned myself several switchings, but I never came away with marks like that, and it still hurt like a mofo.
