Adrian Peterson on Brett Favre

Welcome to Young Hollywood. Hey guys. Michelle Marie coming to you from the rooftop of the W. Here at the SP Style Lounge, with Adrian Peterson. How you feeling?

I'm feeling pretty good. How you feeling?

I'm feeling good, I'm good. It's a gorgeous day out here and we're here celebrating the SPs. What do you love about this time of year?

Uh, just really um, you know, being around all the great athletes. They come together here in LA. And it's a wonderful event. So, just really being able to enjoy the festivities.

I see that you got your defense ready to go.

Oh yeah.

It's all about defense, right?

Oh yeah, defense kills. Defense wins championships.

Oh yeah, it does, it does. What are you guys doing next season to prepare for the playoffs? I know it's going to happen.

Uh, you know, um, fortunately, we have, we have a lot of great guys coming back. Um, talent on both sides of the ball offensively, offensively and defensively. So, um, it's really, it's um, building off from where, where we ended our season last year. And um, you know, just coming in with the mindset to, to get back in that position. And, and complete this time and do it the right way. So, that's really the mindset. And um, you know, we'll be in Dallas, you know, having fun, enjoying it. When, when it's time uh, you know, for the big game.

So, do you see, do you see Brett Favre coming back? I mean, a lot of people are asking that question.

Um, I'm still coming back. You know, I haven't spoke with him during the off season. But uh, you know, just, just watching TV and just hearing what's been going on. Um, you know, I would lean more towards him coming back. Uh huh. So uh, I'm praying that he, I'm praying that he will.

Now, how do you feel about the chemistry with Bernard on the field and all the guys as far as a team right now.

For my fourth year, I would say it's an all-time high. You know, with uh Bernard Bern, Sydney Rice, Percy Harvin, you know, before um, and you know, all the other guys that contribute. You know, we really have a potent and then um, you know, really strong offense. So, I feel like we're, we're able to do whatever, you know, we put our minds to when we step on the field.

So how do you feel about the new playoff rule? I mean, it's not sudden death anymore in overtime.

Hmm. It's not sudden death. I, you know what, I feel like it should have been like that originally.

Really?

Yes, you know, 'cause you have teams that play their heart out. And um, the flip of a coin shouldn't decide it. I think each guy, each team should get, get a position, you know, the ball and um, you know, so that way, it's the only fair way to determine a win in overtime.

Right. So when you're out in the field on the field and you have to recoup, what vitamin water do you drink?

Vitamin water?

Yeah, which one do you like?

Uh, Revive.

Revive? I like that one, too.

Yeah. Revive is good. Uh, the defense, um, you know, I really drink 'em all but on the field, the Revive, it does me well.

So what are your, what are your thoughts on, you know, potentially having the Lakers and Miami Heat going head to head because of LeBron and Wade and the dream team. What are your thoughts on that?

Well, um, I'm definitely looking forward to it. You know, now I have, I really have someone, um, my team now that um, that can, that can really compete with the Lakers. You know, my best friend, he's a Die Hard Lakers fan. And um, you know, I'm a Die Hard LeBron fan. So, having LeBron, D Wade and Bosh, you know, the other guys um, around those, those those three um, you know, particular players. I think we got, you know, got what it takes to, to win it all. So, I love you. What's up? It's Adrian Peterson, running back for the Vikings. And I'm just giving a shout out to my great partners, the Vitamin Water Family. Much respect and much love.
