Arkansas running back Darren McFadden is looking like the Adrian Peterson of 2008 in more ways than one.
Peterson, most agreed, was the best running back available in last year’s draft, and all things being equal, was one of the top two or three players on the board. Unfortunately for Adrian&...

How do you write anything about Running Backs without mentioning Adrian Peterson's record breaking performance in the same game against the supposed best at his position, LaDainian Tomlinson. If you don't mind me saying, it was a reality check for Tomlinson and an unintentional slap in the face by Peterson, proving why he's in the same class as elite runners. This week should be...

Three: Nice shot of Marcus Allen not giving a damn. Four: I love Adrian and all, but I would've rather seen Ana Ivanovic. That's just me. Five: Kyle Busch? It's Best Breakthrough Athlete, not...

If you have Adrian Peterson on your team, you are probably fighting for a victory in the consolation bracket this week. If you somehow advanced, then you probably owe your spot to some help from guys like Drew Brees, Brandon Marshall, and LenDale White. When I wrote my initial playoff column I was focused on guys you should trade for to make a run at the playoffs. Now that week 15...

Favre never stepped onto the field in a Packers jersey during the past two days and at this juncture it doesn't appear as though he ever will again.

If you lost because of Brian Westbrook, it was probably not because of Brian Westbrook. I played a Westbrook owner this past week, and almost won, thanks to poor performances from some of his other players like Terrell Owens and Reggie Wayne. If it hadn't been for Adrian Peterson saving his day, I would have won, most likely by less than the missed-Westbrook touchdown. The truth...
