And then there's this: Of all the younger players in the league, only Adrian Peterson has dipped his toes into Keyser Soze-esque, "I will win this game by myself and wreak holy hell in the process" waters. I watched him do it to Green Bay in Week 9, when he nearly killed the Vikings with a fourth-quarter fumble and avenged it with a maniacal performance on their final two possessions. When he gets rolling and the Metrodome gets behind him, there isn't a more frightening force in the league.

Pretty much dead on..

That Green Bay game was my favorite performance of his. He absolutely was not going to let us lose that game.

When I first read that line

I fell into a choking-laughing fit as I reached the “wreak holy hell in the process” bit. It’s a great line. And it also makes me need to bring up the Vengance Scale, which is always good.

10.0 — Keyser Soze in “The Usual Suspects.”

(I’ll let reader Verbal Kint explain: “He lets the last Hungarian go, and he goes running. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents’ friends. He burns down the houses they live in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone.”)

When you go to somebody's house, you don't crap on their floor. Being a fan of one team does NOT give you license to be a dick to fans of another.

Keaton always said

‘I don’t believe in God, but I’m afraid of him.’ Well, I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Söze Adrian Peterson."

Truth.

This guy actually knows what he’s talking about…

He can’t honestly work for ESPN in reality, can he?

Verbal Kint:

“…And like that, poof. He’s gone.” (speaking of Keyser Soze Adrian Peterson)

Another great comment from the article:
  • Philly’s Andy Reid will be battling former assistant Brad Childress on Sunday in a matchup Peter King described as “teacher vs. pupil.” Teacher versus pupil???? That explains everything! Do you think Reid tutored Childress in classes like “Screwing Up a Two-Minute Drill,” “Hanging Your QB Out to Dry,” “Dumb and Possibly Damaging Field-Goal Attempts,” “Idiotic Short-Yardage Calls,” “Special Teams Collapses,” “How To Blow Your Challenges,” “Leaving Yourself With No Timeouts” and “How To Remain Calm As You’re Getting Booed By Your Own Fans”?

LMAO

I gotta say

Bill Simmons is probably my favorite sports writer, definitely my favorite writer from ESPN.

We share a common pain

Upon further inspection, the Eagles and Vikings match up better than previously thought!

Sports Guy even picked the Vikings.

And I’m still not sure whether or not that’s a good thing.

Well he did pick Arizona… (who looks good so far going into the 4th)
