Thank you for waiting for the facts. Truth will surface.

Yes, I get that this is pretty much the standard response you would expect from Peterson in this situation. But at least he's saying something, which is good.

We're all waiting to see if and when the "truth will surface" in this particular matter. Perhaps it will be on Friday when Peterson's court date in Houston comes up, perhaps we will see some more definitive video before that.

In any event, the Vikings open Training Camp in a little more than two weeks, and Adrian Peterson will be there. And, barring injury, he will be there on September 9 when the Minnesota Vikings' season starts. Hooray!
