NFL

Adrian Peterson went over 1000 yards for the season yesterday, but the Redskins lost.

If Seattle and Minnesota win today,  Washington will be eliminated from the playoffs. Peterson proved this season that he can still go, but, as always, he's not good enough to get his team in the playoffs. That's why you can't rely on running backs, or a particular running back, for playoff success.

The Vikings must keep winning to have any hope themselves. They're heavily favored against the Lions, but we all know that means nothing. Experts don't know how football works. All it takes are a couple of turnovers or bad ref calls to make a  a certain win into a horrible loss. And let's not forget missed or blocked kicks.

I should see most of the game today, unless it turns ugly early. I'm not a die hard any more. I want to watch a winning team.

Skol Vikings!
