I hope AP gets KTFO this game...

Just catching up on some reading this morning. I am a bit behind on the Adrian Peterson's son and the situation.

 

Its tragic when any child dies. His mother deserves all the support in the world.

 

But as far as AP is concerned, he is a dead beat loser. I hope he gets KTFO today. When you deny the child is yours for years and then acknowledge him only when forced to after a court confirms the DNA result is a cowardly irresponsible and cruel thing to do to a kid.

 

 

"Football is something I will always fall back on," he said. ”It gets me through tough times. Just being around the guys in here, that's what I need in my life, guys supporting me and just being able to go out and play this game I love. Things that I go through, I've said a thousand times, it helps me play this game to a different level. I'm able to kind of release a lot of my stress through this sport, so that's what I plan on doing."

 

 

Stress? Stress is raising a kid on your own while the father is making millions and denying any responsibility.

 

Sorry AP, you get zero sympathy. You weren't a father to him in life, you don't deserve anything in his death.

 

 

UPDATED....

Just read the article that says he did not know the child existed and was his until 3 months ago. Apparently he was planning to see him later this month. So I recant my previous statement. Still, its strange that he finds out in early July that he has a son, while nothing NFL related is happening, and doesn't plan on seeing him for 4 months. I'd like to think if I was a multimillionaire on vacation in the same situation I would act a little quicker. But you know, we can't judge. We can never judge.

Feel bad for AP and his family

 

Feel bad for the kids mother? You bet.

 

Feel bad for AP, hell no.

 

IMHO, he shoulders some of the blame for what happened to the kid. Maybe if he manned up and took responsibility the kid would have been raised under better conditions.

 

AP = Garbage.

ESPN and NFL network perpetuate this myth.

Its gonna make a good story if he runs for 250 and 3 TD's.

The facts don't matter.

 

 

Yup. I called this in another thread. Regardless of how much AP was in his son's life, the sensationalist media always loves a story like this....and so does the NFL. Personal tragedy into personal triumph. Americans eat that poo up. 

 

Remember last year vs the Chiefs? There were serious conversations being made about cancelling the game after the murder/suicide committed by the LB. Instead, the worst team in the league (record wise), which has been around since the inception of the NFL, was a delay of game penalty away from having their first unpenalized game in the history of their team. 

 

I'm convinced that the refs are going to be extra lenient towards the Vikes today and will do everything in their power for the Vikes to win and for AP to have a monster game. If the Panthers so much as pass gas in the wrong direction, punt the ball too high, or look at someone wrong ...expect serious consequences. It's just the invisible hand of the NFL spreading propaganda and creating a "story".

I was under the impression that Adrian found out the existence of his son 2 or 3 months ago.  That he didn't oppose the claim but supported the mother monetarily.  Also that they were planning to set up a get together before the incident.  Where are the sources that says Adrian knew about him for two years and combatted being the father?

Thanks for having the balls to say this. AP isn't the victim that the media makes him out to be. The child is the only victim.

Yup. But the media loves a story like this and if Peterson blows up today and carries his team to a W against the 1-4 Panthers, he's going to get some man of the year nominations. fuging stupid.

      Post Draft Luke and JJ Podcast

      By GamecockSmitty4 · Posted

      Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
