Engage In Tomfoolery With Adrian Peterson At Your Own Risk

If I’ve learned anything from watching Nike commercials, it’s that Adrian Peterson has skin like a cybertronic alligator and he is not to be fooled about with. You’d think his own fullback would know that.

↵↵Peterson and teammate Naufahu Tahi were involved in horseplay that accidentally led to the Vikings fullback being unable to play Sunday against the Packers, a source told FOXSports.com.

↵Peterson and Tahi were wrestling Saturday in the team’s locker room when the latter accidentally injured the area around his eye. Vikings coaches believed Tahi was going to play Saturday night but had to declare him inactive for the Packers game after overnight swelling.

↵↵Not only did Peterson render Tahi useless for today’s game, he also rendered him obsolete by rushing for 97 yards and a touchdown without him.
