ATHLETIC ASSHOLES

Dallas would sign AP.

Peterson's appeal was denied on Friday, so he's definitely outta play until April 2015.

I read a piece today about how Dallas would benefit from acquiring Peterson next year, though the writer/analyst (Sid Hartman) believes that the Vikings' owners will mostly likely keep him in Minny and they figure team victories will prompt fans to forgive all.

Kinda surprised me to read in an interview piece he did with ESPN following the appeal denial that he's considering just retiring because he feels unsupported by the NFL. He says he's considering focusing full time on his real estate biz and/or making an Olympics bid for the 200 and 400 meter dashes. I don't know how fast he is, but those Olympic runners are lightning quick. Still, he's financially secure enough to pursue a dream even if his chances of achieving it are remote.

I don't know if Peterson is attempting to stoke demand and up his value or if he's seriously considering walking away from pro football together, but I'm curious to see where he ends up.
