Just came back to say that. Peterson said he was going to play this weekend, but that was before this. He said football is a good way to deal with tough situations.

Very sad indeed. Adrian is a good guy.

just read that - just so sad. That poor little boy...

Wow, we live in a sick, sick world. RIP

The mom's boyfriend was arrested. This is beyond disgusting. My heart goes out to that family. Absolutely devastating.

Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm late, but I just joined the Pigskin Pick'em thing.

My heart goes out to him. He's on my fantasy team but if he decides to not play this week, I will hold no grudges whatsoever and I shouldn't because there are bigger things in life than fantasy sports and sports in general.

And sadly, it's not the first time he experienced tragedies in his life: From Yahoo Sports: "At the age of 8, Peterson witnessed his older brother being struck on his bicycle and killed by a drunk driver. In high school, Peterson’s father was sentenced to 10 years in prison in a drug-related case. Peterson’s stepbrother was killed by a gunshot in Houston while Peterson was preparing for the NFL draft at the scouting combine."

Not only that, he's gone through back breaking injuries throughout his career. Not just the knee injury a few years back but I remember seeing him as a star RB for Oklahoma and that collarbone injury he suffered was one of the hardest things for me to watch.

All I can do is mourn the loss and hope that justice will be served.

As a guy who hates the Vikings, Adrian Peterson is a class act. It's amazing how many professional football players have come through tough adversities, though. Football acts as a sanctuary for a lot of these players. My heart breaks for him and his loved ones during this difficult time.

Referees just spared the Giants on that call. Randle almost made a boneheaded mistake that could've ended our season

Looking back on Thursday night, I think our season is over Oh well, time to root the Packers with @PUSH

Oh no you don't! You are staying on this sinking ship with the rest of us. Now what instrument do you want to play as we slowly go down?

The Titanic theme seems appropriate...

After hearing more details about the AP situation, apparently when AP visited him in the hospital, that was the first time he has seen him since the kids birth. Peterson just found out that was his kid about a month or two ago, and was planning on spending time with him after this season when he had time.

Really? I saw a picture of them together at the NBA All Star Game.

I saw pictures of AP and his kid at practice and AP was kissing him.

That is AP's other son Adrian Peterson Jr, who is completely fine. On petersons twitter he cleared up the confusion.

I was thinking that because, as we all know, the Titanic was a sinking ship...

The Titanic was deemed unsinkable. I sincerely don't believe that the Giants are a team that can be called "unsinkable". Plus maybe it would fit more for the Titans because Titan is in the word "Titanic".

Peterson says he'll play in spite of the turmoil.
