Visanthe Shiancoe Says Adrian Peterson Had Glass In His Food

by Christopher Gates on Nov 15, 2011 1:23 AM CST in Minnesota Vikings 2011 Season

You know, had I been around earlier on in the day, I probably would have said something about this sooner. But I wasn't, so here it goes now instead.

Whenever the Minnesota Vikings play the team they played on Monday night, they eat at Lombardi's Steakhouse at the Radisson Hotel in Appleton. Well, it turns out that, according to what Visanthe Shiancoe said on his Facebook page, Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson got a little more with his meal than he was originally expecting.

The quote from Shiancoe, verbatim, is as follows:

Every year that we play in GB we eat at Lombardi's steakhouse as a team.. Ironically out of all people, Adrian has a huge piece of glass in his meal.

Let that sink in for a moment.

A piece. . .of. . .glass. Not grass. Not gas. And I don't think he ordered sea bass.

A piece. . .of. . .glass.

Now, this is a relatively serious allegation, one that would probably lead to some pretty serious charges if it was proven to be untrue. With that being the case, I have a hell of a time believing that Visanthe Shiancoe would make something like that up, given the potential circumstances. If this didn't happen and Shiancoe says it did, then he should be in some serious trouble.

If it did happen, however, then somebody probably needs to be arrested and charged with something.

Nothing further has come from the incident at this time.

Hopefully her soon to be ex-husband was smart enough to give her a ring made of glass.

Wow

Too bad it wasn’t Gruden …
Then again, he can swallow anything. How else did he and Jaworski get that job? ??

Failure and injuries at every position, rookie QB, new head coach, stadium chaos, assassination attempt – all this AFTER the 09-10 season? Karmically speaking, we’re due to win like 10 SBs in a row (and yes, I just jinxed it).

That is just straight BS

As for the announcers, they may not be good, but they are sort of obligated to praise the Packers side after how the game turned out I think. Also might not want to rag on them too much because if the Vikes are lucky Gruden will be their coach next year or the year after.

Praise??

That was flat out ass kissing. Rodgers is good, but the best ever? ? I’ll take Montana, Brady, Marino, Bradshaw ….Need I go on? There was so much ass kissing in that booth tonight that Rodgers got a colonoscopy from it.PATHETIC

Brady?

Sure, I’ll take him, if I know the offensive line is going to be able to provide the necessary 7 seconds, and he knows the defensive signals. He’s nearly unstoppable under those conditions.

It wasn't so much praise

as it was knob gobbling. I wouldn’t want Gruden as a coach after the way he got all lathered up over Rodgers. He’d probably throw games so his man crush could look good and be the goddamn messiah like he crowned him tonight. Beating us wasn’t enough for you? You had to come over here and tell us that they were right in worshiping the Packers? You know none of us would ever agree with you on that point.

They're Packer fans

They think their team is entitled to worship regardless of how good or bad they are.

to be honest

I seem to recall Gruden gobbling Favre’s knob (hard to type with a straight face, lol) when he was a Viking in 2009 and we didn’t seem to mind it then.

Regardless, last night was absolutely extreme. So extreme I actually wondered if it was just some big sarcastic joke among the announcers, like “Who can make the most ridiculously exaggerated comment? Gruden, GO!”

The Packers and Rodgers are good… but it was just surreal how over the top it was.

my point was that it was to be expected

your team lost by 38 points, what could they possibly have said that was positive about the Vikings? In this situation it’s either praise the Pack or rip on the Vikings. Maybe they could’ve said some things about the rivalry’s history but that would have inevitably ended in them bringing up that it’s the largest margin of victory in any game played by the two teams. Having Gruden means having a better team, who cares what he said while announcing a blowout???

Damn that's insane

I hope you don’t equate that with all pack fans, the rivalry may have some bad blood but if thats true, its not because the culprit is a pack fan, its because the culprit is a sociopath.

Did Shiancoe...

…. say the piece of glass was purposefully put there? If not, is this a serious allegation? Mountain out of a molehill. AFAIK, AD was in the game last night.

That's a very serious allegation

And if it’s true, someone needs to be punished for it. I’m glad that AP wasn’t hurt and I feel bad for the Packers fans who will inevitably be represented by a psychopath if this case gets a ton of press.

by Purpledork on Nov 15, 2011 10:30 AM CST reply actions

hmm…quite the allegation. I hope it was more to rile people up and not true. If someone did it intentionally they deserve to have charges drawn up and they are classless fools. I HATE when people take the game for than it is…a frickin game. That kind of stuff has NO place in the world.

Are you really accusing someone of trying to murder AP?

As some others have said, that is a really serious allegation. You should probably think before you post things like this…

"I'm here to talk about the economy today -- about the need to get four quarters of strong, consistent performance. That wasn't another Jay Cutler joke, I swear. It could be, but it's not."

by Kuhl on Nov 15, 2011 2:22 PM CST reply actions 1 recs

Why?

I mean, it’s pretty silly to call this attempted murder, but he didn’t say, for example, that Kuhl tried to kill AP.

In other words, accusing an individual of a heinous crime is something to be done only with careful consideration. To write something hyperbolic about an unknown individual is not.

by amiller92 on Nov 15, 2011 2:58 PM CST up reply actions

I just don't know how AP finding something in his food is relevant to anything.

The only reason to post this is if Chris “Conspiracy Theory” Gates is accusing a Packers fan of intentionally trying to kill AP. The world doesn’t revolve around the Vikings and if there was a conspiracy against AP, wouldn’t it have happened when the Vikings were actually decent?

"I'm here to talk about the economy today -- about the need to get four quarters of strong, consistent performance. That wasn't another Jay Cutler joke, I swear. It could be, but it's not."

The thing from Shank

doesn’t say “a Packer fan placed a piece of glass in APs food in an attempt to try and kill him.”

It seemed to me (a Vikings fan) that it was less of an accusation, more of a lighthearted jab at how serious some fans take the games. He wasn’t accusing an individual. He just found it funny that there happened to be a piece of glass in our best player’s food at a steakhouse in Wisconsin. There was no outrage in that post. I’m sure he found it more amusing.

On a side note, you coming here and insulting us on a Vikings fan page (on this site, the world does revolve around the Vikings just as the world revolves around the Packers on your site. And the insult is you taking a cheap shot at our team having a bad year.) is classless and I don’t appreciate you coming here and, if I may borrow a phrase, taking a crap on our floor. Yes, we’re making fun of the Packers here. But we’re not making fun of the Packers on your site. Allow us to be angry. We just got destroyed.

Thank you

For expressing it slightly more calmly than I was able to.

How did I insult you?

I’m not saying that Shank is accusing Packers fans, however the author appears to be.

Now, this is a relatively serious allegation, one that would probably lead to some pretty serious charges if it was proven to be untrue. With that being the case, I have a hell of a time believing that Visanthe Shiancoe would make something like that up, given the potential circumstances. If this didn’t happen and Shiancoe says it did, then he should be in some serious trouble. If it did happen, however, then somebody probably needs to be arrested and charged with something.

Sounds like Chris Gates thinks someone tried to kill AP…

I don't think he's accusing all Packer fans of wanting to murder AP.

At most, one crazy Packer fan. Probably not even that. There are extremists in every group. In that quote, it says IF it did happen. And he also says that if Shiancoe is accusing someone and it turns out to be untrue, Shiancoe should be in serious trouble.

The world doesn’t revolve around the Vikings and if there was a conspiracy against AP, wouldn’t it have happened when the Vikings were actually decent?

I take that as a bit of an insult. We know we’re not that great right now, we don’t need you to remind us.

by SirGrizzly on Nov 15, 2011 8:28 PM CST up reply actions

My point is

that Shank just seemed to be sharing a random piece of info. There may have been a piece of glass in AP’s food. If so, that’s at best a major screw up by the kitchen. I don’t think he was claiming that anyone was trying to kill AP. Gates was…

I’m sorry if I insulted you with that comment, it was more meant to argue against the ridiculous “Packers are trying to kill AP” post rather than to be a put down against Vikings fans.

"I'm here to talk about the economy today -- about the need to get four quarters of strong, consistent performance. That wasn't another Jay Cutler joke, I swear. It could be, but it's not."

by Kuhl on Nov 15, 2011 10:24 PM CST up reply actions

I agree

I honestly believe that Shank wasn’t accusing anyone of attempted murder or anything. He was sharing a story he thought was amusing. Yeah, he may have been hinting one thing or another, but it was meant in a funny way. Not as an accusation.

I can’t say if Gates really believes that it was attempted murder, he’s a grown man, I won’t speak for him. We do like our conspiracy theories around here, though. Haha it makes us feel a little better and gives us something to talk about other than how bad our team is doing.

And it’s cool. i just get a little touchy after the Vikes play like they did.

by SirGrizzly on Nov 16, 2011 12:40 AM CST up reply actions

I highly doubt this is a conspiracy

A buddy of mine had a piece of glass in a meal at a high end hotel in Chicago once. People make food, people make mistakes. I assume it is insane in Green Bay for any game, for sure a Monday night game, restaurants must be crazy the whole weekend.
