I don't know, I think the guy realized if he doesn't want to be a broke piece of shit for the rest of his life he needs to clean up his act.
That was one of the weirdest games I've ever watched. Vikings dominated that game, but couldn't hold onto the ball. It is still the biggest statistical advantage for a losing team in a playoff game in the history of the NFL. 31 first downs to 15, 475 yards to 257 in favor of the Vikings. Their 5 turnovers are what beat themselves in the end.
You people been reading this thread lately? They're pretty equally the fucking worst.
This. It's not a good sign when I long for the days of the in-depth discussions on the Hall-of-Fame status of the cowboys practice squad.
You said 5-6 years. Putting him at 42-43 years old. Manning is currently 38. You think he'll still be around in 4 years? Hell, 2 years?
I can't recall anything you are talking about happening between Peterson and the Vikings. Peterson has stated Favre is one of his favorite players to play with, and he had 314 carries that year. He fumbled twice in the NFC championship game, but didn't lose one fumble. Harvin, Favre, and Berrian all lost fumbles that game. And Favre threw 2 interceptions.
I think he might be more inclined to retire if he gets another SB this year. Otherwise, he might chase even more records (or put those he owns even more out of reach) to go along with his one ring.
Wonder if they will cover him mooning the fans at Lambeau or nearly running over a meter maid while high.
You must be talking about the play where Favre failed to get the ball into Peterson's arms at the goal line and they lost that fumble early in the game. Peterson wasn't directly responsible for a single fumble lost that game, he had 25 carries, 122 yards, and 3 TD's in that game. The fumbles by the wide receivers, and the illegal hits on Favre are what played a role in that loss. Really had nothing to do with Adrian Peterson, as he played a good game.
