The Metrodome: The Only Horse Stable in The NFL

296 yards. 888 feet. Over one sixth of a mile. Adrian F-ing Peterson. This guy is amazing. He's the best running back in the NFL, NO doubt. He ran for 256 yards MORE than LaDainian Tomlinson on Sunday. He already has 1,036 yards rushing through just eight games with an average of 6.5 yards per rush. He may set the NFL single season rushing record as a rookie. That's insane. He should probably be asking for more money already. My usual football Sunday consists of sitting in my living room with my friends eating brats, drinking beers, and watching the Packers. I think I'm going to start going to the bar so I can watch the Vikings too, because A.P. is must see TV. Joe Buck and company keep talking about having the rookie of the year award locked up. Um, how about you start talking MVP? I know Brady is going to win it. But holy shit, if Peterson ran for over two thousand yards and twenty some (or more) touchdowns, don't you have to seriously consider the fact that they have high school quarterbacks on the roster and a head coach who doesn't know how to give Adrian Peterson the ball and he's STILL dominating? I predict he'll be each of the rushing leader, touchdowns leader, and MVP at some point with in the next three years. Hell, he might do all three this year.

How 'bout dem Packers? Again, I don't know how they do it, but damn, if I'm any other team in the NFL outside of the Patriots, I don't want to play the Pack. They can play SOOO bad at times, yet they don't let you get up on them by much or at all. And who didn't see Brett Favre doing something amazing down the stretch to put the Packers in the lead? If they're up, you're not going to catch up very easily. If you're up, it's not by much and you have to stare Brett Favre in the face as he picks you apart on his way to another 300+ yard game or throws a bomb between your safeties for an easy touchdown. When I watch them, I get a little nervous, but the result stays the same. Second best record in the NFL.

The Lions? Are you SERIOUS?! I keep picking against them because I can't imagine a world in which a Barry Sanders-less Lions team wins more than five or six games. I said this week it would be the last time I pick against them if they win just because they're the Lions. Well they won, and pretty damn convincingly. So it looks like I'm picking them next week.

Major Camel Points this week to Adrian Peterson, Drew Brees, and Shaun Rogers. Peterson I've already covered (314 Camel Points, 296 yards, 18 points on TD's). Brees gets 45 Camel Points for throwing for 445 yards. And Shaun Rogers gets 31.7 Camel Points (Because that's how many seconds it took him to run 66 yards for a touchdown) and an oxygen tank.

Look out next weekend for the Vikings over the Packers. I'm scared and it's still six days away.
