Adrian Peterson's Checkered Past: Orgies, Cheating, Six Children With Six Women 



Goes hand in hand with the Love Boat baby! 🖐

Professional sports needs to start glamorizing good family men instead of demigodding guys like Adrian Peterson. Kobe Bryant has never lived down his bullshit in Colorado, and these leagues are full of this crap. I think it is hypocritical of Packers fans to poke fun of Peterson, though, because our closet is far from clean.

Possibly the most favored subject I opted not to comment upon.

You just go, AD, the hits just keep on comin'!

I especially like the part where he admitted smokin' a little weed while out on bond.

I hope that goes good for him. 😆

I'm beginning to regret the post I made a while back where I said it seemed like he was a decent person. I guess I based that on him never threatening a major holdout and not being a loudmouth prima donna on the field and quietly putting up with a bad situation in Minnesota. I guess I should say he seems like a decent football player (not just talent wise but teammate and on the field wise) but as a person it certainly seems he leaves a lot to be desired. I guess he found a way to cope with that bad situation.

I agree with Dakota though. I'm sure if you dug a bit you find some similar traits among some of our own players.

Agreed. Just off the top of my head, favre, jolly, and hornung come to mind as packers who made some questionable choices
Eugene Robinson and Andre Rison weren't exactly choir boys close to their time with the packers.

Young men with a boatload of money and having been pampered their whole life leads to some very poor decisions to say the least.

Wayne, you hit the nail on the head. So many of these guys have been constantly told how great they are, and they get this bloated self worth and get away with a lot because of their "talent".

I had no idea that AP was that kind of person.

I can certainly understand and to a degree sympathize with what happens to these young men.

I told you all a few years ago that the Eagles running-back Shady McCoy was a friend of my son.

He came to a party at my home a few days before "his" draft. My son hated his guts, as he viewed him as cocky, arrogant, getting all the girls, etc, My son was all of those things, btw. Shady went the athletic route, my son went the drug-dealer route.

May he rest in peace.

I spent an hour discussing his future during that party. He told me he was going to the Cardinals (I think he said 6th or 7th in the first round) To myself, I kind of laughed and thought he was a bit arrogant for thinking he'd go that high as a running back.

His dad was a mail-man here in Harrisburg. He looked up to his dad. His dad taught him a work-ethic. In high school, he looked up to his coaches, because they did not give a damn how much talent he had, he was going to fly a straight and narrow path as they and his father saw he should...

It's just weird that the first people I ever met here in Harrisburg, PA were those two coaches at Bishop McDevitt High School (that was a football factory, under those two- Catholic school) I met them FISHING on the bank of a lake I still frequent to this day. I ALSO met the former head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, Dennis Green. THEY talked about how good this kid McCoy would be in the NFL. I think he was a freshman at the time.

Interestingly... young McCoy about to enter the NFL draft knew that I was a fellow-fisherman with his former coaches. I do not know how to this day. I never told my son, for example, that I had ever discussed anything with any of those men... Yet young McCoy knew I was a Marine, and wanted to know all about that.
He was absolutely idolized by all he was in contact with, to an amazing degree, at that point where he was going to be drafted.

I thought he handled it with profound maturity and restraint. I know where it came from. Those two coaches liked his dad, and I damn sure liked those two coaches. I don't know their names, but Dennis Green seemed to look up to them just as much as I did.

They were just smooth in convincing young men to do the right thing. I don't know how on this earth they resist most/all the hedonistic opportunities that come to them, pretty much since mid-high-school.
