OT: Adrian Peterson fulfills promise to fan!!
We all hear stories about professional athletes doing great stuff for fans; Well, despite a devistating season ending injury, A-Pete still found the time to grant a fans Christmas wish!!

I already admired & respected Peterson, but doing this despite JUST suffering a severe injury.... all I can say is, wow! I wish more athletes would put aside their ego's and go the extra step for fans!

Ya he saw that sign while going ninja, watching the jumbotron, juking and spinning making multiple defenders bewilderingly tackle thin air and counting calories burned. The dude is a beast, and a man of his word now too!

I always enjoy reading stories like these. Way to go AP! Hope the recovery goes smooth and he is back on the field for the 1st game next year.
I build sets, collect Lou Brock & Jeremy Maclin. Both of my sons went to Kirkwood HS with Jeremy. I will also look at Kurt Warner, Big Ben and Old Big Red Auto's.
