Adrian,

I want to apologize, on behalf of the Vikings, for paying you millions of dollars to carry the ball 21 times in 2014. That St. Louis Rams defense was ferocious.

I want to apologize, on behalf of the Vikings, for holding a press conference, just hours after your indictment, defending your honor. Even though this press conference made the franchise look extremely foolish under a national spotlight -- subsequently infuriating fans, media, the NFL and Radisson Hotels - I apologize.

I want to apologize, on behalf of the Vikings, for Matt Asiata and his 3.5 yards per carry. I know how frustrating that must have been for you to watch from afar.

I want to apologize, on behalf of the Vikings, for ignoring the itch to restructure your contract and instead offering to pay your 2015 salary of $12+ million in full - and $15 million toward the salary cap - despite the non-guaranteed nature of said contract, your age (30) at a volatile position and your injury history.

I also want to apologize, Adrian, on behalf of the Vikings, for offering this chance at redemption -- a chance to play for the Vikings again in 2015 despite all that transpired. Most of the fans, media and people in the organization believed a second chance was warranted in this situation, but clearly that was a misread.

And finally, I want to apologize on behalf of the state of Minnesota, which callously charged you with injuring a child via a switch in the first place. If we had all just looked the other way, everything would be cool, right?

Wait, what? Oh, it was Texas that charged Peterson, not Minnesota?

OK, then I apologize on behalf of the state of Texas.

Well, you get the idea, Adrian. I, on behalf of the Vikings, feel horrible about all of our missteps over the past few months.

Hopefully you can forgive us.

Adrian,

I think you may want to apologize, to all of the Vikings Fans, Who utimatly paid you, millions of dollars thru ticket pricing and merchandise and nfl TV money, to only have to DO YOUR JOB!! and carry the ball a 
TOTAL of 21 times in 2014. That St. Louis Rams defense was ferocious.

I want you to apologize, to the Vikings Orgnization, for holding a press conference, just hours after your indictment, defending your honor. Even though this press conference made the franchise look extremely foolish under a national spotlight -- subsequently infuriating fans, media, the NFL and Radisson Hotels - You should appologise to us for thinking our "defense and concern for you" mattered, to you, at all.

I want you to apologize, to the Vikings fans, for having to watch Matt Asiata and his 3.5 yards per carry and getting stuffed, for no gain.
 
 You, in your selfish little world, have no idea how frustrating it is to watch a plodder rush for 5 yards, knowing that "mr Switchy" could have busted off 20 or more on the same play.


I want you to apologize,  To the Vikings, for offering to pay your 2015 salary of $12+ million in full - and $15 million toward the salary cap - despite the idiotic, self inflicted, damage to your career and the hit to the reputation of The Vikings franchise, that has been taken, by us, for you being such a TOOL!

I also want you to apologize, Adrian, TO the Vikings and their millions of Fans, for offering you a chance at redemption -- a chance to play for the Vikings again in 2015 despite all that transpired.

Most of the fans, media and people in the organization believed a second chance was warranted in this situation, but clearly WE were Mistaken about YOUR LOYALTY!!


And finally, I want you to apologize TO of the state of Minnesota, which callously charged you with injuring a child via a switch in the first place. If we had all just looked the other way, everything would be cool, right?

Wait, what? Oh, it was Texas that charged Peterson, not Minnesota?

OK, then I want you to apologize to the state of Texas, for being an idiot, in regards to proper Child rearing methods..

Well, you get the idea, Adrian. WE, on behalf of the Vikings and all their fans Everywhere, feel horrible about all of your missteps over the past few months.

Hopefully for you, we can forgive Your DUMBASS!!.

poetic license by DLY.

So yes, I'll cheer for him.

Sullivan, who turns 30 in August, was rewarded with a one-year extension and a pay raise for each of the next three seasons. His base salaries are now $5.9M, $5.4M and $5.4M

For being one of the "better" players on a horse-crap offensive line??

If they can get him a few picks down,I would not be surprised to see a trade out.
