Dead Player Battleship - Adrian Peterson - Part 1
This week, we celebrate episode 500!! We look at one of the greatest players to ever play his position, in NFL history. He has countless accolades, to attest to his football prowess. Only problem is, he also had quite the prowess for ending up in handcuffs. We start with his difficult, and sometimes tragic childhood, only to see him overcome these things. He also seems to believe that he's possibly above the law, which will make for crazy times!!
Choose a location, so you can play "Dead Player Battleship", featuring horrible quarterbacks, realize that seeing your brother be killed, in front of you, would mess anyone up, and decide to NEVER hit a child, especially if it isn't even yours with Adrian Peterson - Part 1!!
Check us out, every Tuesday!
We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

1:39 Goddamn. Cemetery Battleship is funny and dark
You guys keep saying Adrian is a top 10 back and I'm just nit picking as a football nerd but you will be hard pressed to find a better back than him. Mount Rushmore Sweetness Barry Jim Brown Adrien Peterson
Why does patreon never play? Ive been able to listen very few episodes.
Matt Cassel was the year after Brady’s knee was blown out
Curtis was on the Pats for just 3 years!
The emmitt slander is ridiculous. He's definitely top 10, and top 5 in my book.
Can you do a bonus episode or something on Aaron Hernandez the documentary on Netflix about this guy?
I believe they did a patreon episode about Hernandez
Jimmy is right!! Favre was on the jets for a year before the vikings! Then the saints playoff game ended it all. Lifelong unfortunate vikings fan.
I’m late to this listen …. I know so much useless sports knowledge I want to apply as the autocorrect on sports knowledge lol …. Jets then Vikings , this was moss after raiders , pats and Titans he came back to Minnesota
Whats up Turkeys🦃?! I went to listen to the Randall Woofield multi-parter, and can’t get them to play… is this happening to anyone else?(🖕🏾🧊)
Was anyone else expecting "grace" at 1:18:19?
I'm a PhD candidate studying Public Administration in Texas right now: corporal punishment in school is illegal the way some small towns have unenforced laws that say you can't publically swear on Sunday. It is technically still on the books, but only because everyone stopped doing it for other reasons (including an individual school district banning it) and no one has taken the time to get it made illegal. Texas has a very short legislative session (which is its own problem I have opinions on) and often don't have time to do the stuff that's pressing, much less stuff like this Funnily enough: Texas Universities do a lot of science. A ton, actually. However, we're trapped under a corrupt state government that makes it difficult to *use* that science
I'm from there. I got wooped by any adult...
About having too many kids: I'm a school nurse. Believe me, I'm all for drive-by vasectomies and tubals. It's always the people who already can't afford one kid that comes dragging in 4,5,6 of them, expecting us to fix everything for them. Can I add I see moms more in pajamas than real clothes. Girl...it is 2pm, you're in public, get dressed! Not judging someone's income, I'm commenting on an already overburdened system suffering because of their sexual irresponsibility. Quit fucking and get your shit together!
He was at the Jets first because the Packers put a trade clause that he couldn’t be traded or play for a rival for 2 years
Thank you. Screaming at James. Listen to Jimmie!
Also…. I know the real story behind that infamous speeding ticket… 😂🤣😂 it was generally “Call of Duty” night with a good friend of mine cuz he loved that video game. He called her up but she said she was at the club with her friends at forgot about it and she invited him out to the club. They weren’t hooking up legit just friends. We all laugh our asses off at that ticket
Texas is a corporal punishment state.
Nah Favre was a Jet first then a viking James.
I don't think it matters who he played for first, all that matters is that he was a piece of shit. Who cares about his shitty years with the Jets and Vikings.
The stats are always so boring I can’t bear to listen until the crime. Haven’t finished an episode in ages.
Then don't listen. If you can't stand amazing entertainment, maybe she show isn't right for you and you can fuck off.
And they said he was called AD in the episode. You guys need to chill the fuck out on all this shit. Give James a fucking break.
Love that you gave love to the GOAT. The one, the only, Barry mother fucking Sanders. Best pure runner of all time. No one has ever been close.
You motherfuckers. It's not AP! It's AD! Which stands for All Day, which is what his father said about him running when he was a kid. God I hope James gets Olive Garden for the rest of his life.
It’s both ya Turkey. It was AD in college and AP in the NFL
You know Ed Orgeron an USC assistant coach tried to get AD's father transfer to a prison in California. https://www.si.com/college/usc/football/ed-orgeron-reveals-wild-recruiting-story-adrian-peterson-father-usc-trojans
THANK YOU JAMES! The Emmitt comment I have been saying since the 5th grade. New Yorkers coming with the logic 😅
Thurman Thomas was the NFL's MVP in 1991.
Crazy to think Thurman and Barry were on the same college team.
9 knee surgeries here 🙋♀️ usually can do an autograft the first time around (your own tissue) the first time around if you have something viable to harvest, usually because it has the best chance of success. They used my hamstrings the first time. Subsequent surgeries or inadequate available tissue then becomes an allograft, so a cavader tendon. I believe mine have been patellar tendons... it's messy, but so much of the rehab depends on exactly what happened and if they're salvaging or reconstructing.
Great episode, but good God, the amount of NFL players and teams and when and where they played that they got wrong in this episode was crazy. Lol
I keep not getting my shout out😔
His nickname is AD, as in All Day, not AP.
Thank you guys for 10 years you 2 dudes have gotten me through some dark times
"Hey Jesus where were ya that day?" From James made me fall over laughing hahahaha.
Favre went to the Jets in 08, retired, then went to the Vikings for 09-10. Moss was traded back to the Vikings in 2010 from the Pats
Came here to say that. Moss came back after his Patriots run. It was supposed to be a big deal but ended up a disaster!
During his college recruitment Ed Orgeron who was with USC at the time tried to get his dad transferred to a los Angeles county jail so he could get Adrian to commit pretty crazy story
Tennessean here, teachers could beat us in front of the class with parental approval up until the mid 90s. Now they criminally charge kids for assault if they accidentally scratch another child.
Hope I never hear an episode about Russ Wilson, still respect him
Guys, Favre signed with the Jets first. After hiding an injury and exposing himself, Favre went to the Vikings.
Gun Barrel City!!! PEW PEW!!
My wife is all sad because we haven't gotten a call out since we first signed up lol. I didnt know AP had so many issues.
Gaines Adams died of cardiac arrest in 2010
Haven't listened yet. I swear if you call him AP I will find you and blast country music outside your homes! And I don't mean the good stuff like the Possom or Willie. I mean Keith Urban shit.
Happy 500th
Complete ACL tears can be repaired with either a cadaver ligament or an autograft from your own tissue. My surgeon took some of my quadriceps tendon to repair mine.
😂😂 birdshit and bubble gum 😂😂😂
Got the Brett Farve and Randy Moss timelines super wrong
I was yelling at my radio during that part!
Jason White didn’t get drafted because his knees were destroyed. He had a few ACL tears.
I was there when he first injured his collarbone against Iowa State diving into the end zone and you could hear a pen drop with how quiet it got when they took him to the locker room.
I was waiting for James to realize that T-Jack is dead. Thanks Jimmie for letting him know.
We pronounce it like Palesteen
We passed through there in 2009. Stopped at a diner. When we walked in, every head turned to look at us. It was rancher type regulars and then here we are, midwesterners on a road trip. Awkward as hell. Chicken fried steak was good, though.
He played a year for the Seahawks,he did a good job for us
Man that empathy at the end is gonna fade when his main crime happens.
The Vikings QB carousel is my favorite part so far. Want a fun game add up how many QB's started for the Vikes during the time the Packers went Favre to Rodgers. It's hilarious and also disgusting as a MN fan
The picture that gets circulated of that browns fan and their jersey with all their QB names on it and then scratched out to add the next one always give me a good chuckle.
I was born in 84 and briefly went to elementary school in NC and the principal was still allowed to paddle kids. We also still said prayers before lunch.
We still do that here in east Texas
And that excerpt from that article - I kept waiting for you to interrupt with “is this for real?” It was so openly in love with AD
That was the craziest cliffhanger I’ve ever experienced! And I’m old! Which means I know what it is to wait a week to find out what happened - or two weeks or next season. This ending was crazy! This is going to be a long two weeks. Well done guys
Congrats on 500! Still very thankful that you kept the show going. As someone who’s listened to every episode, I don’t know what I’d do without it.
Congratulations on 500! As a Sooner fan, this one hurts but don’t do dumb shit to end up on a podcast!
Ooh, nice. Part of me thought this would be an Antonio Brown episode, but I’m glad it’s AP instead. Brown needs more time to be episode-worthy, as he’s clearly not done fucking up.
Adrian Peterson's nickname was AD it stood for all day.
never mind you guys are on top of it. Lol you guys really the best..
Oddly in 2008 the Mrs. was pregnant with our first. While picking out names using Topps Football Cards my son Jackson was named after a random Tavaris Jackson card
500! YAY INDEED!!!
Congratulations on 500!!
Wooooo 500! Congrats, guys! I was also born in 1985, and was spanked by both parents. Not beaten, though. I might be in the minority, but spanking was a good deterrent for me. Whenever I thought about breaking the rules, my thought was always “….but if I get caught, I might get spanked”. Sometimes it was enough to deter me, sometimes not as I thought it was likely I’d get away with it.
A Washington fan site made a shirt for a while that said "Frerotte is fer real". Also AP as a "straight up" running looked like he was running in mud but faster than anyone else
Can’t listen to this one.
I read once that if LeBron James dropped $100 bill on the ground it wouldn’t be worth his time to pick it up. I’ve never forgotten that.
Favre went from Packers to the Jets for a year, then the Vikings for 2 years.
I was ready to start screaming lol. Yes. Not only that, there was a poison pill in the Jets trade where the Jets would have had to give GB numerous picks if the Jets traded him to Minnesota. That's why Favre had to "retire", get released by the Jets, and then sign with Minnesota.
Congratulations on 500 episodes! Your still on top of the world!
So glad you’re still here, guys!
Sorry you got stuck in Nashville, your time in hell was worth the wait
Favre did go to jets before Minnesota
WHOA!!! Take it easy on AP. SKOLVIKINGS
Jimmie hurts my heart not remembering CJ2K..
Jim Harbaugh has more rushing yards than Bo Jackson lol wild to think about it
Bo ran so hard he retired himself
The El Diablo story was classic
YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY EPISODE 500!!!!!
Yes! The first alum that I’ve actually seen play. I went to a Vikings/Redskins game when he was on the Redskins. He got a standing ovation and waved to the crowd
Woohoo! 500!! I was kinda hoping for a wrestler, but let's go! 🎉
My hope is we get a 10 part Vince McMahon where James does the voice for 80% of it
The episode is going to bother me. I knew Adrian really well between his rookie year and through his 2nd year. Was a regular card player a a club where I dealt and myself and several others used to hang out with him and a few others as well as deal a private game. Legitimately one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I’ve met a lot of athletes and most of them are jackasses. Adrian wasn’t when he first his the league.
First parter they were pretty good to AP.
Woo 500!
