And ironic as it may sound, I hope someone blows him up on Sunday. Like career-ending knee injury type of hit.

Star Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has a warrant out for his arrest and will surrender soon, according to his criminal defense attorney.

Peterson has been indicted in Montgomery County on a charge of child abuse after allegedly using a branch to spank his son and the team benched him for this weekend's game against New England.

No, you won't be seeing him. A warrant has been issued, and he is expected to bond himself out sometime this weekend. Arrangements are being made.
