  Having a child?
  Court appearance about a child?
  
  He's going to be out some games.
  
  Discuss.

  Pretty sure it has to be for the birth of a child.

  I don't think superman's cape is that type of material. Dry cleaning will surely ruin the cape. Silly BP.
  
  
  Edit: Matt Tissley's tweet below is sad. I will follow the kid.

  I literally have NO idea what this thread is about. I have seen nothing about BP being out.

  Placed on the Paternity List yesterday. Means he will be out 1-3 days. Allows the team to call up someone if they choose.

  Looks like Phillips is on paternity leave from the #reds. Nothing announced as of yet. http://bit.ly/10RAzEf

  Shouldn't be a problem, we can just stick Izturis into the 4-hole and roll with it!
• wildcats20

  

  How did I miss that? Lol
• se-alum

  

  They've kept it pretty quiet, somehow.
• Midstate01

  

  Do they need to be loud about it? Or announce anything? Seems like this is a private thing. Idk. Maybe just cause its out of wedlock or something? Just doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

  I just mean I didn't even see a tweet about him being out. Obviously I overlooked it

  That article is 2 years old. Who cares...
  
  A pro athlete has multiple kids, by multiple women?? No way!!!

  BP loves his Debbies.

  Uh.....2 diff sites I think. Nothing was on here and I put it on here to maybe get some talk going here. Sites are totally different.
  
  I should've dug down 6 pages to find a Reds 2013 Thread.

  BP sucks. Im with whoever said just plug Izturis into the 4 hole. Wont miss a beat. Will probably end up winning every game he misses.

  I'm not a pro athlete and that could have happened to me.
  
  Thankfully I had $400 laying around a couple times..

  Anyone ever catch his show datdudebp show on WLW? Think it is on home games and he is interviewed by segman and on air with tracey and eddie?
  
  Always makes comments about the debbies he goes after.
  
  I mentioned it a few years ago about him. During Reds caravan they make a special, private appearance locally for just employees and advertisers to a local station. I went a couple of times. Both times he made multiple inappropriate comments toward some members of the female staff. It was of a flirtatious nature but still not real appropriate. One was even to a 16-17 yr old worker there.
  Friend of mine's fiance has a good friend who gets reds tickets from BP pretty much whenver she wants. She texts him and picks up the tix. Apparently from what her friend says, she is one of his debbies who he tags on occasion.
  
  He is single so I guess that is all ok....but he doesnt seem to be this perfect role model that some in the community think he is. Great player, fan friendly, goes out into the public and such, but seems pretty wreckless and irresponsible to continually knock up women. Have to wonder how many he really has and how many times he paid off debbies to have it taken care of....

  I could care less who he fucks or gives tickets to. That's his own business and it's stupid to knock him for not being a "role model" when said kids' parents are probably narcissistic, drowned pharmaceutical drugs and spinning their wheels in life (I'm generalizing here obviously). The definition of ethics and morals are so convoluted today, who even knows what a "role model" is anymore.
  
  What I DO CARE ABOUT is him missing fucking games for this stuff. Now, we don't all the details, but it has to be something somewhat serious for the team to allow him to leave for 3 days for what is being reported. I sure as hell know my job wouldn't approve me for "paternity leave" if it wasn't exactly what people think of it as. Is he being fined/reprimanded behind the scenes?

  Well if you have a problem with him leaving for this paternity leave then ya should care who he is fucking!!!! Pretty sure the team cannot deny him leaving for this, and I bet your job would let you off if you had a kid, probably unpaid though.
  Remember awhile ago he missed a game due to "personal" reasons? Wonder if that had anything to do with this.
  
  I do agree with you tho..the thing that sucks is him missing games for this. Did he give the team an internal heads up to make sure they could have the proper moves?
• Ironman92

  

  We lose those two games with or without him. Us commoners can only speculate what happens behind the scenes and if he gave due notice.
  
  No pics of the kid?
