As a Vikings fan, you can only imagine how dejected and horrified I was on Saturday after watching Adrian Peterson blow out his knee early in the second during the game against the Redskins, so I can only imagine how Peterson felt himself after writhing in agony on the turf while his NFL career flashed before his eyes while being carted off the field. But what he remembered to do afterward while sitting in the locker room typified the remarkable character and class Adrian Peterson has exhibited throughout his career.
Pretty cool stuff.And on that note, I don't believe the Vikings officials (Leslie or Sugarman) that he'll be back by the 2012 season. I hope he will be, but I'm not holding my breath, either.

The Gerhardt pick looks much better in hindsight. They should probably spend a little on a free agent this off season too.
