On Sunday morning, Adrian Peterson became a father. In other news, the sun rose in the east and a Frenchman made a rude remark to an American tourist.
Little Axyl Eugene Peterson weighed in at 7 pounds, 3 ounces at about 9 a.m. It's the second child for Adrian and wife Ashley and the seventh (roughly) overall for A.P. So the extra point was good.
Duly inspired, Peterson was equally fruitful on the gridiron, rushing for 126 yards and two touchdowns in leading the Vikings to a solid 31-14 victory over the San Diego Chargers. Furthermore, Peterson carried 20 times and did not fumble.
