NFL PLAYOFFS

  INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts cornerback Nick Harper's wife was jailed Saturday night on charges of cutting him with a knife, a sheriff said.

Hamilton County Sheriff Doug Carter said Daniell Harper, 31, was being held without bond on charges of battery with a deadly weapon and criminal recklessness.

Nick Harper was treated for a knee injury at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis. His injuries were not life-threatening, Carter said.

Harper, a starter, was listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC divisional playoff game against Pittsburgh.

Earlier Saturday, Colts spokesman Craig Kelley said Harper had required stitches in his knee following an "accident." He said he had no other details.

Kelley told The Associated Press later that he had gotten his information from Colts officials.

"There was not an accident," Carter said. He said Harper and his wife had been involved in a fight.

Harper, 31, was arrested in June on a domestic battery charge after police said he hit his wife.

I know I am tired but...

Here's where the NFL gets me.  This guy, who has had previous charges against him for DV, would be on the field tomorrow if his knee would allow.  But TO (and trust me, I am not trying to legitimize TO's actions) gets barred from playing for "Conduct Detrimental to the Team". If beating your wife is not detrimental conduct...then we live in an effed up country.

That report came on right after the game.

I'm not taking sides for TO or against him but the fine line they are drawing is "detrimental to the team" and what Harper did was not against the team. Like you said, it's effed up!!

You're quite welcome. I guess you know it's down at the Waterfront, right? Oh, when you walk in, look immediately to your left, at the circular booth at the end of the row of booths. That's where Big Ben usually sits, lol.

LOL...loving you! 

Do you hail from the 'burgh?  Or just your daughter? 

I'm originally from Cleveland and live in a suburb of Youngstown now. My daughter's job took her to Pittsburgh. She lived in the Greentree are until she bought her house in Cranberry Township. She has shown me many sites in the Pittsburgh area and I've gotten to know it pretty well.

Happy hunting.....lol. Oh, if you need more locations where they hang out, let me know.

I'm thinking he would actually have to be convicted of something first before the team could punish him somehow, legally.. like Helen said, it had nothing to do with the team so they can't say that. And since he was arrested in June and still played the season, I'm assuming he didn't really do any jail time. Not to mention, from this article, it sounds like the wife is an aggressor too, using deadly weapons against him.. doesn't exactly sound like a happy home. How bout getting a divorce instead of trying to beat each other up or kill someone.

[Helen]

I totally agree RC. Sounds like divorce would be the answer before someone really gets hurt bad.

Doesn't exactly work that way...If my husband beat me up on a regular basis, and I thought I had no options (because I am sure that is where she is...)  I might knife him too.  Good thing I have a husband who is not a batterer.

Do you have something personal against Tom Brady that you were so excited to see him get his butt kicked?? Last time I looked, 11 players took the field and they either win/lose the game as a team. Yes, the Patriots lost and the Broncos won but taking joy in seeing a player possibly getting hurt is just wrong. I don't ever like seeing that happen.

Hope both of today's games are good ones!!!
