Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson recently made a weird comment about playing Washington this upcoming Sunday.
Peterson had been on Washington’s roster leading up to the regular season, but was cut right before games got underway. He quickly signed with the Lions, who have a pathetic 3-5 record at the halfway point of the season. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

What’s Peterson’s goal in part this Sunday? Well, he told Darren Haynes that he hopes to help Washington “realize” what they “let go.”

I have a bold idea. How about instead of trying to send messages to Washington, Peterson and the Lions just focus on winning some damn ball games.
We’re absolutely trash, losing games we should be winning, our offense looks abysmal at times and Peterson has a grand total of two rushing touchdowns on the season.

You can talk about sending messages once we’re above .500 and he’s putting up stats. Until then, I don’t want to hear.
He gets paid to help the Lions win football games. Right now, we’re not even close to doing what we need to do.

Truly, nothing could annoy me more in life than the fact I was born a Detroit Lions fan. It’s nonstop torture.
