Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has family in the Dallas area, and many of his relatives are lifelong Cowboys fans. So when the two teams meet in the playoffs on Sunday, allegiances in the Peterson clan will be mixed:
Adrian Peterson’s Family Not Necessarily Rooting For Adrian Peterson
↵↵“I’ve got a lot of family that’s kind of uneven what side they’re pulling for,” [Peterson] said. “We’ve got some diehard Cowboys fans.”
↵↵Am I reading that right? I’ll tell you something. I love the Chiefs -- love them -- but if my cousin were Adrian Peterson, I would ceremoniously burn my Priest Holmes jersey, Trent Green Starting Lineup figure, Matt Cassel collectible bobblehead, Nick Lowery commemorative PEZ dispenser, and Christian Okoye-endorsed garden shears. I would rip my Donnell Bennett and Kimble Anders Fatheads off the wall like so much ugly wallpaper. My lucky Steve DeBerg underwear? In the garbage. My copy of “Dino Hackett’s Xtreme Linebacker Challenge” for the Sega Genesis? Out the window. I would probably hold on to my woven floor rug that resembles Dante Hall’s face, because it goes really well with the rest of my Dante Hall-themed furniture.
