Vikings will abuse us.

I'm sure he's totally broken up about the son he didn't care enough about to ever go see

Classy.

Emotions do help you play better SOMETIMES. It really just depends. They can pump you up, or bring you down. I wish him well tho, can't even imagine.

Holy poo dude.

This isn't a movie it's real life emotions don't make you play better they serve as a distraction.

How did Torry Smith play last year the night after his brother died...mighty damn good numbers IIRC.

 NFL is a business first and a competition second.  Just like how KC last year magically "stepped up" their game against us by not committing a single penalty until late in the game on a delay of game despite the fact that they held and sometimes straight up tackled our dlinemen.

 

Viking linemen will figure out pretty quickly that they won't get flagged for holding (at least on running plays) and AP is going to have a field day.

Everyone keeps saying, "This isn't Hollywood, blah blah blah". But it's plainly clear that the NFL moves on emotion and drama. They play it up to the max. They highlight it all over. In media, in commercials, in freaking EVERYTHING.

 

The emotions of this team will be highlighted, the refs will have it in the back of their minds, the coaches will pull out all the stops.

 

The Vikings will win. I guarantee it will be a combo of extraordinary play, refs ignoring/blowing calls, and the coaches of the Vikes coming up with a unusual, perfect gameplan. 

 

Just. Wait. And. See. 1-4, absolutely.

The poor kid died. I would assume ap will not be playing. Let the man have his personal time.

[!stUp]

Yes , just keep the team in Charlotte, don't even fly to Minnesota. Just forfeit....the huddle...unreal.

Wow this the the huddles trash at it's finest.

[jackson113]

end well this won't

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Classy.

 

what's really classy is having a bunch of kids with random baby mammas

 

what's really classy is never bothering to see those kids

 

what's classy is acting like they don't even exist, leaving a kid less than 2 years old to fend for itself

 

having no idea what situation they are in, or how they are cared for

 

especially a millionaire with every advantage in life, yet still doing nothing

 

would anyone really leave their kids with a known violent criminal

 

but of course that stuff happens when you're completely absent and have no idea what's going on in your kids life

 

if he had been a real man and a father this wouldn't have happen

 

 

 

OHH POOR ADRIAN PETERSON MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO HIM

 

 

 

f--k that guy, he might be the best RB in the history of the game (IMO he is) but he fails as a human being

 

he gets no sympathy from me, the only one that gets sympathy is the kid that died because he has a worthless "father" that's never around and leaves him with violent criminals

 

good job AP (oooooppps I mean AD, glad you could take the time to correct the use of your nickname), hope we break your kneecaps on Sunday
