Adrian Peterson's agent is still saying Adrian shouldn't play in Minnesota any more. The Vikings say he's under contract. I say a 30-year old running back with a horrible reputation isn't worth investing in any more. Most fans wouldn't mind if we tried someone else in his position. I think the Vikes don't realize how much the fans dislike him. They think the incident is over and done with. To be sure, he'll get some cheers upon his return. But there will be significant booing from now on. The Vikings would be smart to avoid that.
The NFL has decided to do away with the Blackout Rule this coming season. ALL home games will be broadcast even if games are not sold out. They will re-evaluate that decision each year. Congress was giving them heat about the rule, and since ALL games sold out last year any way, they thought it best to roll with the punches.
The NFL is still looking for a better extra point rule. I have TWO suggestions. No more kicking chip shots at all.
1) Always make it a two-point conversion from the 5 yard line. EVERY extra point would have to be earned.
OR
2) A ONE point conversion as a regular play (no kicks) from where it is now. IF you make it, you're allowed to try a 2 point conversion from the same spot. IF you miss that play, your first extra point is taken away. That strategy would blow fans away. Coaches would go nuts having to make that decision after every touchdown.
1. His agent sounds like a idiot. If I were AP I would fire him.
ReplyDelete2. A 31 year old running back that is very overpaid. He should be counting his blessing that the Vikings are willing to pay that much to someone who brought this upon himself.
3. It's not that I dislike AP, as everyone makes mistakes, but when he acts like this to a team and fans that have been loyal to him for 8 years it rubs me the wrong way.
4. I would not let AP out of his contract. This would make him the winner. Sit him on the bench for 3 years and let him rot. A 34 year old running back, no thanks!!
