    So basically Adrian Peterson wants more money.

    He figures whipping his child in the balls with a tree branch and losing a season means he should get more money after Zimmer says here or nowhere. Good luck Einstein.

    Yeah, he lost all respect with me asking for more money than his generous contract (for RBs) when he got paid last year without playing.

    I would have thought he would just be happy to get back on the field this year.

    He has no leverage, it's a hopeless ambition.

    But on the slip side, Adrian Peterson proved that he's just like every other human being (minus the child beating part).

    He wants more money.

    Everybody wants more money.

    Not me, Mama, I just want the love of my fellow humanity, er, humans, my good toenail clippers, and my favorite old rusted metal thing I found in a field.

    See I like money... but for the same reasons you say.

    I can buy love, buy the BEST toenail clippers, and use a high powered metal detector to find all my favorite rusted metal things I can find in a field.

    I never really thought of it that way, Mama. Kind of looks like I wasted my entire existence to date with no chance to redeem the wasted decades pursuing illusion.

    Well this is just nice.

    I think he's through the guaranteed money part of his contract so his future is in the Vikes' hands entirely. However, his cap hits are enormous so he's almost guaranteed to be cut unless he restructures.

    That's what is making him upset though he gets another 12.75 million just by being on the roster opening day and made about $365,000 per carry last year before being unfortunate enough to get caught whipping his child in the balls with a tree branch which sort of wasn't anyone elses fault being as he was age 29 and sort of an adult large muscular man whipping a 4 year old child with a tree branch.

    Highly unlikely anyone is going to pay a 30 year old back more than 12 million a year these days so why would Minnesota since they have him locked in anyway. There's almost no way they won't look stupid if they extend him and give him more guaranteed money.
