 Adrian Peterson's situation traces to a $5.2 million loan from 2016. It became an $8.3 million judgment in 2021, along with $15,000 in attorneys’ fees and a nine-percent interest rate. As of February 2024, the approximate debt was $12.5 million.

simply fantastic money management there, AP. you owed 5.2 mil and that's turned into 12.5 mil owed, calculated six months ago. plus interest accruing daily.

athletically gifted, but dumb as a bag of rocks.

It's so unfortunate that he didn't have anyone looking out for him and that he could trust.  He's just going to be one of those guys that made a lot of money and have nothing to show for it.

At this point, he might have to declare bankruptcy right?

Adam Thielen: 

“I don’t think it's just a Bryce thing. I think that’s all of us. First game back — games are just different. You can do all the preseason, you can do all the OTAs, training camp — all that is great and all that gives you an idea of what a game looks like. But games are just different. So, it was great to get out there, feel that game-like energy, and passion, crowd noise, everything — just to kind of get that one behind us."

“Obviously, not the result we wanted, but good to get that out, and now we can just go play football and be who we want to be, who we are, and show individuality who we can be. That’s not just a Bryce thing — that’s all of us. Those are kind of first-game nerves, first game whatever — a little rust, whatever. We all individually have to kind of figure out a way to get better this week and put that one behind us."

"It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to just score 30 points in the first half. It means that you’ve got to go get some first downs. You’ve got to make a couple of big plays. You’ve got to do some of the little things right that just give you some confidence, momentum, give the offense some short third-down opportunities — that you just start to build this confidence, demeanor, and momentum that can go toward you.”

Young finished Week 1 13-of-30 for 161 yards with a pair of interceptions. Thielen led the team with 49 yards on three catches.
