MSU losing to UCLA
It was pretty evident after the first 8 minutes that things were not going to look good for the men in green.

Reality Check Adrian Peterson
I knew there was a reason I didn't like Adrian Peterson, other than him being a Running Back for the Minnesota Vikings, he likes to make statements that are ignorant. (Ref. 1 & 2)
AP: It's modern-day slavery, you know? People kind of laugh at that, but there are people working at regular jobs who get treated the same way, too. With all the money … the owners are trying to get a different percentage, and bring in more money. I understand that; these are business-minded people. Of course this is what they are going to want to do. I understand that; it's how they got to where they are now. But as players, we have to stand our ground and say, 'Hey — without us, there's no football.' There are so many different perspectives from different players, and obviously we're not all on the same page — I don't know. I don't really see this going to where we'll be without football for a long time; there's too much money lost for the owners. Eventually, I feel that we'll get something done.
Modern Day Slavery?!?!?!?!?!?! Are you kidding me? (Ref. 3) Adrian Peterson has a maximum value of $40.5 million and including $17 million in guarantees. Modern Day Slavery?! It is my opinion that AP would be insulting this heritage with such ignorance. No one is keeping Peterson from walking away from the game of football. He could retire at any point, and still have potential millions in the bank.
Plus he is a Minnesota Viking, enough already. With gasoline being 3.50 a gallon, I think few normal working class people are going to be feeling bad for Adrian Peterson and his labor union woes.
