Past won’t keep Peterson from getting ‘look’

-

WHAT percentage of zero percent tolerance policies remain in play? It is certainly a lot higher than zero.

In July, Jose Reyes returned to the Mets from the Rockies following a two-month suspension for spousal abuse. He received a standing ovation.

In October, the Giants fired placekicke­r Josh Brown for spousal abuse, to which we heard and read this prevailing sentiment: Good riddance! Wednesday, Giants’ coach Ben

McAdoo said he will “take a look” at free-agent running back

Adrian Peterson — who was indicted, pleaded guilty to a misdemeano­r charge of reckless assault, and suspended by the NFL for physically abusing — tortur- ing — his 4-year-old son, one of his many children — eight? nine? — from several women.

Another Peterson child, a 2year-old he apparently had never met, died after being abused by his mother’s boyfriend, who was convicted of the child’s murder.

And the Giants will give Peterson a look.

Two moments within CBSSN’s St. John’s-Creighton stood out Tuesday.

1) Five minutes into the game, CBSSN didn’t downplay the kind of thing NCAA TV partners often ignore or quickly note as “a distractio­n” or an “off-the-court problem.”

On Creighton’s “Senior Night,” courtside man John Schriffen reported that starting senior Maurice Watson is off the team, out of school and being held on $750,000 bond for the alleged rape of a 19-year-old woman. 2) At the top, play-by-play man Carter Blackburn, perhaps with a straight face — we couldn’t see — said, “The Red Storm are in mostly blue uniforms tonight.”
