Lunch Break, 9/18: Peterson on Cows, Chickens & Carries
Adrian Peterson’s ice-breaking riddle before his weekly media session was widely enjoyed by reporters.
Andrew Krammer of 1500ESPN.com offered a recountingof the exchange here.
As media assembled, Peterson asked, “Thirty cows in a pen, 28 chickens. How many didn’t?”
Silence.
“It’s a play on words. So listen to me carefully. Thirty cows in a pen, 20 ate chickens. How many didn’t?”
Ten, the same number of carries Peterson got in his first game back with the Vikings in 372 days. Asked if he would lobby for more following his 13 touches against the 49ers, Peterson said he would “if it really got to that point.”
