Cummings giving Jayhawks lift | KUsports.com
Both Bowen and Kiesau credit the entire offense for KU’s recent improvement — the line has played better, the receivers have made tough catches, and the flow looks more natural than ever — but without the steady hand of Cummings under center, envisioning putting up 32 points and 466 yards (KU’s averages from the past two games) would have been little more than a dream.

When talking or writing about the NFL's handling of the Adrian Peterson case, it's difficult to separate discussion of the vicious cruelty of Peterson's actions from the fairness of the NFL's adjudicatory process.
