The Associated Press: Vikings RB Peterson gets 109 mph speeding ticket

"Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson could lose his driver's license after police clocked him driving at 109 mph — nearly twice the posted speed limit — on a suburban Minneapolis highway last weekend..."

what, you've never driven over 100 MPH on an empty highway before out of boredom? :shrug:

I wonder if his SO was behind him chasing him down like a defensive player.

From NFL.com:

Vikings coach Brad Childress downplayed any concern about Peterson's alleged high-speed driving.

"I don't know. I'd stay out of the police industry, if that in fact is true," said Childress, who added, "You got to take care of yourself. You can't put yourself in harm's way."

Childress acknowledged that Peterson was late to the hotel Saturday, but the coach declined to discuss the possibility of any punishment.

"He was there shortly thereafter, and as we do with everything that's in-house stuff," the coach said.

Never mind the possibility of putting someone else in harm's way (if it's proven to be true). I'm guessing this one will go under the rug, though.
