Rarely do we compliment people on Sports Crunch. Actually, we prefer to make fun of athletes so their fans get pissed and send us a bunch of hate mail. But Adrian Peterson is one dude we can’t find anything bad to say about (atleast yet). Check out this 64 yard, Jim Brown like, run he made on Sunday.

It’s only week 1 and we’re already calling it. Adrian Peterson = League MVP

Less than a month after joining the Minnesota Vikings, Brett Favre was among the five players elected as a team captain.

“You can’t coach chemistry,” Favre told reporters. “You can’t fake it. It has to happen. You have to believe in one another and that is ongoing. This is a good group of guys; it really is. As I told them, I am honored to be a part of this team.”

Favre may be a captain, but Adrian Peterson is the only reason the Vikings will have a chance at making a playoff run. On Sunday, Peterson tore up the entire Cleveland Browns defense when he rushed for 18 yards and 3 touchdowns. And he did it all while trying to fight off the stomach flu.

“I gagged myself a couple times trying to get everything in my stomach out,” Peterson said. “Normally it makes me feel better and it did. I came in and got an IV and felt recharged and rejuvenated and was ready to go to work.”

Peterson may have a chance to break the single season rushing record this year.

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson wants to bring his weight up from 217 pounds to 225-230 pounds before the start of the regular season.

“Just to see how I feel,” Peterson said. “Before the season starts, I look forward to having my weight up so I’ll be able to see how it is when I run and cut and do things like that.”

Peterson thinks he’ll be able to retain his speed and quickness with the weight gain, but Vikings head coach Brad Childress isn’t so sure.

“Well, you know what? 230 is awful big,” Childress said. “From 17 to 30, just put a 10-pound sack of potatoes on your back and think of how that works for you.”

Peterson is already hands down the best running back in the NFL why would he want try to change anything? If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. His perfecet combination of strength, speed and quickness is what makes him so special. If he gains too much strength and loses his quickness he’ll become an average running back like Larry Johnson.
