Adrian Peterson complains about contract situation, looks even worse

If that's even possible.

Adrian Peterson is an all-time great football player, but he's not coming off well this offseason.

The rumors that he wanted to be traded didn't come out of nowhere. Let's understand that. But now he's doing a 180 and acting like he never wanted out, that he actually just wanted more stability from Minnesota Vikings and "Go Vikings" and whatnot. Sure. What a coincidence that this turn came after Vikings coach Mike Zimmer basically told him there was no way he was playing with anyone else.

For some reason Peterson thinks that his 2014, with only one game played because of a messy legal situation that involved injuring his young son when he disciplined him with a switch, should lead to the Vikings giving him more guaranteed money. Which is crazy. Much crazier than his request to be traded, actually.

Peterson took to Twitter to try to set the record straight, with a long series of tweets.


Judging by the content of his tweets,

I'm guessing he didn't major in English at Oklahoma.
