All Day Cupid

by Skol Girl on Feb 9, 2012 5:11 PM CST in Minnesota Vikings

With Valentine's Day coming up on Tuesday next week you're probably contemplating what new and wonderful thing you can do for your Valentine to make the holiday special. Or, you might be a nervous wreck who has just realized the holiday of romance is just a week away and you have yet to make any plans.

Well, not to fear because the Minnesota Vikings' convalescing running back, Adrian Peterson, is here with the answer--he's giving you the chance to win a Valentine's Day phone call for your Valentine. That's right, our favorite running back could call your Valentine for you on February 14. What Viking fanatic wouldn't want a call from Peterson on Valentine's Day? With Adrian Peterson as your cupid, you won't look stupid. Well, you probably won't look stupid, but that could change if you decide to wear fuzzy cupid wings.

Why would Peterson come to your aid on Valentine's Day? Well, Adrian Peterson is trying to raise money and awareness for Football for Good, an organization that helps at-risk kids. Football for Good has partnered with GlobalMojo, to "leverage their browser app to generate funds for Football for Good." When you make purchases from Football for Good's online partners (like FTD, hint-hint), it raises money for the charity.

For more information on Football for Good and how this browser application works you can visit Football for Good's website. Adrian Peterson has also been promoting Football for Good and the Valentine's Day contest on his Facebook page.

If we can't laugh at ourselves, Packer fans will call us crybabies and we will be forced to kick their tooth in. I really don't want to go to jail (again).

I suppose this prize doesn't come without an element of risk :)

Would it be weird...

If I hope for my wife to win so AD would call me and I could wish him a quick, full recovery? I’d promise to keep the Valentine’s chat to a minimum.

AD or SG?

I’m sure single DN readers would light that website up like a Christmas tree for a Valentine’s Day call from the fair Skol Girl herself. Just for the charity, of course!

LOL :D

What kind of a website do you think we’re running?

Actually, I toyed with the idea of doing a charity thing once, but I was worried about two things: 1) if nobody wanted to hang out with me I’d feel like a loser and 2) it might attract creeps. So I gave up on the idea.

A bachelorette auction??

Then you made a wise decision to pass. Because your number two possibility would have been the likelier scenario.

I just tossed the idea around, but discarded it before it came to details or specifics.

There was a slightly creepy incident that made me decide to pass on the idea.

Valentines day..

Just another way for the man to bring down the proletariat. The limp bourgeoisie try and cull the mental ability of the masses by pinning hopes and dreams of women every where on one day, using it in their efforts to control us and take away at least $3 of pocket change on the purchase of a piece of sentimental paper that yodels thoughtless love sonnets.

Much like the class struggle, this also creates a dread dichotomy, but not between classes but between sexes! Yes this truly troublesome ‘holiday’ is nothing more than an effort to create a ‘schism’ between the two sexes, one where men say ‘Why don’t I get flowers…’ (Yes I’m looking at you cowbell) and women say ‘Why don’t I get flowers.’ (Yes I’m looking at you abba) The same question for two completely different reasons, showing in itself the unity and disparity that have plagued us for so long.

Where was I… Oh yeah Valentines day sucks.

The Vikes aren't in a remodeling or reconstruction they are in a burn the place down and start praying they don't mimic the Lions rebuilding process.

If this is a ploy

to get me to send you an image of Valentine’s Day flowers you have another thing coming. However just to show I’m a good sport, you can print this out, cut it out, an there ya go. There is a fairly good chance I might get scolded for this but it was actually fairly clever. Sorry Skol Girl and Happy Valentines Day to you!
