Tampa Bay Bucs Play Dirty

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson says a Tampa Bay Buccaneer tried to hurt him during their November 16 matchup.

"Some guys are really out there to hurt you," the second-year player said. "I found that out in that game.

"I was being stood up by three or four defenders, and the guy just came out of nowhere and intentionally went for my leg," Peterson said. "I felt it, and I watched it over and over again.

"He intentionally went for my leg and tried to take me out. It was by the grace of God that my foot wasn't stuck in the grass and was able to give. I looked at that play and really started thinking that, 'Hey, whether you believe it or not, guys are out there trying to take you out. So you got to be smarter and protect yourself.' "

Peterson did not name the player, other than to say his jersey number was in the 50s and that he was ''flexing" after the play.

Coach Jon Gruden (a.k.a. Chucky) said his team should continue to focus on earning a playoff spot.

I believe that to be nothing more than endisputable rubbish, however it is what it is! Tampa Bay needs a coach that knows more about football than making faces for the camera.
