For all the wrong reasons...
============================

Former Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson earned more than $100 million in his NFL career from 2007 to 2021. But he still is in massive debt estimated at more than $12 million. And now a judge in Houston has issued an order for him to turn over numerous assets to help pay it back.

The same judge on Monday ordered that constables in Fort Bend County, Texas, accompany the court-appointed receiver to Peterson’s home when he shows up to seize the assets, according to the order obtained by USA TODAY Sports.

The order is the latest in a long legal battle to get Peterson to pay back a $5.2 million loan he took out from a Pennsylvania lending company in 2016 that was supposed to pay back other lenders, according to court records. That debt since has led to a $8.3 million judgment against him in 2021, plus $15,000 in attorney’s fees with 9% per annum on all amounts, according to the receiver’s court filing. The approximate collection total is $12.5 million, Berleth stated in a February court filing.

Another tragic tale of the system failing the kid.

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Hope they don't repossess his camel.

Maybe the Falcons will sign him so he can make some of the money back. If there's anyone who is more out of place than Kirk Cousins in the shotgun formation...it's AP.

Or Derick Henry in Baltimore. 

Jackson loves him some shotgun/pistol and Henry don't. 

Good luck to Mr Monk, I'm not sure the Ravens thought they one through well???

This is what being paid $14 Million to stay home as an abusive "slave" leads to...such a cautionary tale.

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

I'm only surprised it took this long for the banks to close in. Guess he couldn't make the minimum interest payments anymore so now that they can't milk him any more they've dropped the hammer.

Serves him right for signing with New Orleans in 2017 5 days after the schedule release revealed us opening the season on MNF against them.
