The headlines of this story haven't been officially confirmed yet....

....but I'm going to guess after the "TIMBER" sound effects died away, Adrian Peterson has been already thinking about a new line of work, like maybe alligator wrestling. I wrote about this back in June, Adrian Peterson who spent most of his career playing running back for the Minnesota Vikings had agreed to fight Le'Veon Bell ( another ex-National League Football player ) - an actual boxing match. This of course would be a heavyweight exhibition, but would this maybe lead to a new career for Adrian? Anything is possible. This would definitely be something that would raise the eyebrows of many sports fans in general.

A good portion of his career was filled with unwanted publicity, caused by Adrian's own actions

Seemed like just yesterday when Peterson was in the news not for his on-the-field heroics. Back in 2014, he was charged with reckless or negligent injury to a child ( He wound up being suspended for the rest of the season ) - Fairly recently he was arrested back in February at the LAX airport - the airport police received a call concerning possible domestic violence onboard an aircraft.

So here we go, Adrian Peterson, seven years older than Le'Veon Bell, stepped into the ring for a 5 round heavyweight bout - would this be the start of something amazing? Would we see Adrian one day in the near future, as the World Champion boxer? Would he raise a belt ( a different kind ) into the air? Ummm I don't think so.....
