Oh, Hell, Let's Give A.P. One Last Award

Because, you know, he just doesn't have enough already.

Adrian Peterson stood in front of the car he'd just won as MVP of the Pro Bowl. He wiggled the keys, leaned against the red roof and soaked in the acclaim.

Quite a way to finish off a rookie season.

Peterson ran for 129 yards and two touchdowns, and Terrell Owens made up for early sloppiness with two TD receptions in the NFC's 42-30 comeback victory over the AFC on Sunday.

Offensive Rookie of the Year Peterson's performance was the first of more than 100 yards since Marshall Faulk had 180 and Chris Warren added 127 in 1995. The Minnesota running back joined Faulk as the only rookies to be voted MVP of the Pro Bowl.

Amazing what the kid can do when there aren't 8 men in the box on every single play.  Something to look forward to in 2008 as the passing game improves and we see fewer and fewer 8 and 9-man fronts against the most dynamic young player in the NFL.
