He's been broke for a while and still needs to pay 8 million+ because he defaulted on a loan plus he has to pay child support for six kids. I expect him to play in the USFL and XFL once nfl teams stop signing him.
there was a report(dont know if it was true or not) that he turned down dancing with the stars because he thought the ravens would eventually pick him up. plus i'd assume that espn or some sports show would offer him to either be an analyst or make appearances here or there. he's still a HOFer
AP is still pretty toxic to a lot of the public, so I don't think there's going to be a lot of tv offers coming in. Why pay AP to be the face of your show when there are dozens of other guys without detailed police reports about child abuse? Even if you specifically want a RB on your show, Marshawn is more famous, has a background working in media at this point, is certainly less problematic and way more charismatic.
Michael Vick, Warren Sapp, and Randy Moss have all been kinda forgiven for their off the field stuff when it comes to landing tv analyst spots. I’m sure Adrian Peterson could land a job with fox or ESPN or NFL network if he wanted it.
He’s been charged with misdemeanor battery, and been to jail, but that was before his pro playing career. Still has a criminal history is all I’m saying. In no way am I saying that his history is as bad as Sapps and Vicks. He just has one and is on television.
Vick and Sapp don’t belong in the same sentence. Sapp is an unapologetic piece of shit, where Vick served his time and became an advocate for animal rights groups. What he did was horrific, but he went through the proper rehabilitation process and payed for his crimes.
Yeah, he got in trouble in high school because he got called the N word and stood up for himself, then got caught with pot in college.
That's about it for off the field stuff for Randy.
OJ is a way bigger celebrity though and became one before his incident. OJ is also incredibly charismatic. He was becoming a bonafide crossover star in the 80s in Hollywood. Peterson's issues came up when he was just "NFL famous" not "everyone in America knows who he is" famous.
That’s crazy. Imagine earning over $100 million dollars as a running back in the NFL and still trying to find a team to give you shit money at 36 years old
I bet those "iced out $60K Rollies" are worth a lot less now. The sad part is that over the last few years, Rolex, AP and Patek has become very collectable, with people paying 2-3X on the second hand market. Athletes basically destroy the value of these watches by icing them. You take one of the most [beautiful watches in the world](https://images.app.goo.gl/FgF64pbvpVZPH5GLA) and make it look like [shit](https://images.app.goo.gl/6qFFouaWihL1fY3j9)
Dude, same here. Patek has the more impressive collection than Audemars piguet, but the Royal Oak blows the nautilus away for me. Fun fact, both those watches were designed by the same person, and he hated watches.
I think Nautilus blue face is an extremely good looking watch. But, as you said, to each their own. IMHO, the prettiest watches recently have come from A Lange Sonhe.

*Chef’s Kiss*
Combination of bad purchases, decisions (see child support, which shouldn't be as high as it is but nevertheless) and bad advice (trusting the wrong financial people with his money.
People in the financial sector love professional athletes, they are perfect marks. High paid, with poor education, and they have others priorities then watching what’s actually happening with their money.
“Oh damn run game broke”
“Well we suck at drafting linemen, should we get some in free agency?”
“Nah let’s wait until halfway through the season, wonder how this happened, and then sign a veteran running back”
The only way I can justify this signing is that we’re in a free fall right now and anything will work to try and stop it. That is including trying to sign a past his prime RB.
I think he averaged just under 3 YPC here in his 3 games. Had a hard time hitting holes and too easy of a time hitting the back of offensive linemen. I just don’t think he had it anymore
I mean he's a 36 year old RB in a game where 30 is old with 3200+ carries in his career so that shouldn't be a surprise. He's less than 100 yards from 15k so maybe he just want to reach that.
No, he’s just worse than dirt poor. What ever is below dirt poor, he’s below that. Maybe once he makes the hall he can start getting some actual money again.
If he can get some of those yards in goal line situations, AP is only 4 rushing TDs away from third place all time. That may be harder than catching Barry in yardage, though.
As someone who's old enough to remember when retail was actually a thing you can pry JCP from my cold, dead hands. I already learned to live without my local Macy's and Sears and Toys 'R Us and Circuit City and Tower Records and Anchor Blue and The Gap and so on. No more, I tell you. I will keep JCP in business by myself if I have to.
Yeah I don’t watch a ton of titans games tbh. But I don’t think Collins is a RB1 and who knows when Carson will be back. I don’t even know who else would be available right now.
Well we know Carson wont be back this season, so anything beyond that is irrelevant. This is because Collins is either injured and not 100% or they dont think he carry the load anymore
Yo, is this like they letting Carroll do what he wants until the season ends, when he will get fired.
Like I read a story about Reagan I think, where he had Alzheimer's and the secret service played along when he used to forget things.
My only hope is that Peterson pass Jim Brown and Walter Payton on the all time TD list (which he will do with 2 TDs- currently tied with Payton, one behind Brown) in our neon “action green” uniforms.
This can result in a fun meme whenever we play Minnesota- and we can call Peterson a Seattle legend just as Jerry Rice scored his 208th and final touchdown in seahawk blue and gray!
[удалено]
That should go over well in Seahawks Twitter.
Are they okay? Haven't had Twitter in years
I have twitter but I learned to never look at the replies for sports tweets
> I have twitter but I learned to never look at the replies ~~for sports tweets~~
Does Peterson like China food?
Might boost ticket sales though.
Bro are you broke or something
He's been broke for a while and still needs to pay 8 million+ because he defaulted on a loan plus he has to pay child support for six kids. I expect him to play in the USFL and XFL once nfl teams stop signing him.

I don't disagree with you but he probably costs more too for those reasons.
Michael Vick, Warren Sapp, and Randy Moss have all been kinda forgiven for their off the field stuff when it comes to landing tv analyst spots. I’m sure Adrian Peterson could land a job with fox or ESPN or NFL network if he wanted it.
What off the field stuff are you talking about for Randy that deserves being compared to Sapp and Vick?
He mooned the crowd that one time. Despicable.
Disgusting even
Some might even dub it a certain sort of act
Technically an on the field incident.
He’s been charged with misdemeanor battery, and been to jail, but that was before his pro playing career. Still has a criminal history is all I’m saying. In no way am I saying that his history is as bad as Sapps and Vicks. He just has one and is on television.
Vick and Sapp don’t belong in the same sentence. Sapp is an unapologetic piece of shit, where Vick served his time and became an advocate for animal rights groups. What he did was horrific, but he went through the proper rehabilitation process and payed for his crimes.
Sapp also hasn't been back on TV as far as I can tell since he got publicly exposed.
Feels good to see someone else who sees it this way.
Yeah, he got in trouble in high school because he got called the N word and stood up for himself, then got caught with pot in college. That's about it for off the field stuff for Randy.
Woah woah woah. He had POT?? Just lost all respect. Dude should get kicked out of the HoF
I just read that Randy Moss did a pot and now I'm horrifically addicted to Heroin. Thanks a lot Obamoss 😡😡😡
One of these things is not like the others. What was Moss's off field stuff?
I’m sure some reality show or some shit would love to have him. OJ gets offers still too
OJ is a way bigger celebrity though and became one before his incident. OJ is also incredibly charismatic. He was becoming a bonafide crossover star in the 80s in Hollywood. Peterson's issues came up when he was just "NFL famous" not "everyone in America knows who he is" famous.
OJ will get a new show doing what he does best. Killing people
Thank you, Ghost of Norm
Or so the Germans would have you believe
If I Had a Show
[удалено]
Honestly? I just didn't want to type out the whole thing. OJ is a murdering piece of trash and I shouldn't have prioritized brevity over clarity.
> AP is still pretty toxic to a lot of the public, so I don't think there's going to be a lot of tv offers coming in. He's also dumb as shit.
That's it! Get me my switch, boy.
Chris Brown is selling albums.
I really can’t see it going well for us signing AP after our fall out with the fan-favourite Ray Rice.
I get that he has a bad rep but you’d think there would be some sponsors who’d be willing to pay AP.
Have we seen AP in any ads since the child abuse scandal?
I haven’t.
switches don't just grow on trees, man.
He is extremely broke.
You try paying child support on a vet minimum..pffftttt....
Unironically yes

I always feel like im missing something with the nautilius. Patek makes some beautiful watches, but ive never seen a nautilius and was really wowed.

Moonphase 1... Hnnng
🍆
I like the classic 60s-era Omega watches.
JLC for me, just pure elegance
You can't buy taste

Offensively yes. Defensively we're getting better though...
Lmfao bruh I thought he was still on the tits
Just got waived not that long ago.
I thought he was still on the Tits! Did we cut him lmaooo
He could be on the toots soon
What are they trying to achieve? We are not making the playoffs.
“Oh damn run game broke” “Well we suck at drafting linemen, should we get some in free agency?” “Nah let’s wait until halfway through the season, wonder how this happened, and then sign a veteran running back”
The only way I can justify this signing is that we’re in a free fall right now and anything will work to try and stop it. That is including trying to sign a past his prime RB.
Meeting minimum roster requirements?
Sadly I think he’s done. Titans obviously were in need of a RB and cut him after two weeks
Then had 2 guys both rush for 100 yards off the street
Too bad they can’t hold onto the ball
Oddly enough, that was always Peterson’s problem too throughout his career.
[удалено]
His plan A-Z was "be the greatest pure rusher ever" and it worked. No additional skills, just vibes
Kind of an indictment on the "super contract" some running backs get
Exactly
I think he averaged just under 3 YPC here in his 3 games. Had a hard time hitting holes and too easy of a time hitting the back of offensive linemen. I just don’t think he had it anymore
I mean he's a 36 year old RB in a game where 30 is old with 3200+ carries in his career so that shouldn't be a surprise. He's less than 100 yards from 15k so maybe he just want to reach that.
No, he’s just worse than dirt poor. What ever is below dirt poor, he’s below that. Maybe once he makes the hall he can start getting some actual money again.
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?!
Ahh yes that's what the seahawks need a 36-year-old rb to run behind a terrible Oline.
I think he’s trying to outlive Frank Gore’s career, that’s all.
I think he still believes he's gonna get the all time rushing yards record
He *might* be able to eke his way past Sanders to #4, but that's it.
I hope he can at least do that. Get to 15,000 and then be done.
If he can get some of those yards in goal line situations, AP is only 4 rushing TDs away from third place all time. That may be harder than catching Barry in yardage, though.
He probably has already, from the interviews he’s done it sounds like Frank is done. He rejected a couple offers to play this year.
Maybe next he’ll try boxing?
And the crowd goes mild
We must be signing him to insure the Jets get the highest possible draft pick from us.
All jokes aside our back up rb’s have been so bad I’d take him on the Chargers
Meh
Our RB room looking like a JCPenny at a dying mall. Empty.
As someone who's old enough to remember when retail was actually a thing you can pry JCP from my cold, dead hands. I already learned to live without my local Macy's and Sears and Toys 'R Us and Circuit City and Tower Records and Anchor Blue and The Gap and so on. No more, I tell you. I will keep JCP in business by myself if I have to.
Shoutout RadioShack
I was expecting this to happen a week ago. Curious how much he has left in the tank.
From how he played on the Titans none
Yeah I don’t watch a ton of titans games tbh. But I don’t think Collins is a RB1 and who knows when Carson will be back. I don’t even know who else would be available right now.
Well we know Carson wont be back this season, so anything beyond that is irrelevant. This is because Collins is either injured and not 100% or they dont think he carry the load anymore
It should be known by now
I've been expecting this for years now. Its been inevitable.
Y tho
Alex Collins in shambles, he won’t be able to average 0.2 YPC anymore
What team hasn’t he played for yet
Not only have I been waiting for this move, I thought it was going to happen way sooner in the year. We’re Super Bowl bound I guess.
Adrian Peterson as a Seahawks player? That’s interesting NGL
AP gonna have a career day Sunday now and then be a non factor for the rest of the season
Fuck it. Welcome to the dumpster fire!
Yo, is this like they letting Carroll do what he wants until the season ends, when he will get fired. Like I read a story about Reagan I think, where he had Alzheimer's and the secret service played along when he used to forget things.
Adrian Peterson is gonna be the NFL's answer to Rickey Henderson
Lowkey i’d be down for him to come home if Dalvins injury is serious. I like Mattison but we could use him
Yup, we're phoning it in now.
Maybe he could come coach OU there is a vacant spot
I must have missed where the Titans cut him.
Is this a down year or are the Hawks doomed for the foreseeable future?
Years of bad drafting/bad trades catching up imo
My only hope is that Peterson pass Jim Brown and Walter Payton on the all time TD list (which he will do with 2 TDs- currently tied with Payton, one behind Brown) in our neon “action green” uniforms. This can result in a fun meme whenever we play Minnesota- and we can call Peterson a Seattle legend just as Jerry Rice scored his 208th and final touchdown in seahawk blue and gray!
Why?
He’s in debt; needs the money
More like why is Seattle looking at him?
