Adrian Peterson sounds bitter about all things Minnesota

[R.J. MacReady]

Any news that keeps his chances alive of coming here is bad news.

And look how he brought Texas into the conversation. That's not good.
You guys in Texas need to get your newspapers to do a AP hit piece.

Adrian Peterson:

"It shows you can have all the loyalty toward someone and toward an organization, a fanbase, but when things really shift and it's you or the empire, they're gonna put you out on a leash," he said. "I said, 'Of course (I would love to come back to the Vikings, after a court hearing in Minneapolis on Feb. 6).' I said it. But my emotions, as far as those things I feel, those are for players like (linebacker) Chad Greenway, those guys that play the game just like me, that have the same passion I have, the same goal I have, to win a championship. That's where it comes from. It don't come from the organization. I'm not in a good place when it comes to that."

"I know there are a lot of people in the organization who want me back," he said. "But then again, I know the ones who don't. It's a difficult transition, and it's not just about me. I have a wife who was able to sit back and see how people in Minnesota said this and said that, how media in Minnesota took the head of the situation with my child, and were digging into things that weren't even relevant. That wasn't people in Texas -- it was people in Minnesota that dug in and brought things out. That impacted me, but most importantly, it impacted the people around me -- my family, my kids. This came from the state I love so much, that I wish to bring a championship to? This is how they treat me when I'm down and out? You kick me? My wife (and I), we've had several conversations about me returning to Minnesota, what the best options are. If I left it up to her, I'd be somewhere else today, and that's with her weighing everything. It's a lot for me to weigh; she understands that. But there are some things that I'm still uneasy about."

He should just STFU right now. I wonder if he knows what an ass he sounds like right now. Did those people take a stick and beat his son with it? He brought this on himself.

I don't think Texas was mentioned because of any reason other than that was where the crime took place. Not a Cowboy thing

^^^^

That makes sense. I didn't realize the actually beating took place in Texas.

And yea, it's unbelievable that he takes this position that his town and the Vikings somehow let him down.

That's a hoot.

I believe Peterson is saying this because he still does not believe he did anything wrong "switching" his child. While opinions vary on whether what he did was right or wrong it's a light match in a pool of gasoline and he does not have a fire extinguisher big enough to put out the fire he is about to restart.

Jarntt you are correct he should just STFU publicly and privately and try to redeem his career. The more he talks the worse it will get for him unless that's his agenda to get out of Minny.[/QUOTE]

I think he wants out, but there's no way Minnesota releases him. They might trade him, but that would seriously cut back on his suiters, I mean,would anyone want to give up their 1st for a 30 year old back, even one as great as AP? Best thing for him would be to take the Beastmode approach with the media and zip it up
