Adrian Peterson dazzled just about everybody except Jama and Paul Paulos on Sunday. NFL analysts have been slipping on their own drool. We feel the need to wait a couple minutes before standing up after his long runs, if you know what we’re saying. And, as mentioned before, there is even merchandise celebrating Peterson’s spectacular early catalog. But the most dramatic evidence of The Purple Jesus’ impact has to come in the form of one RandBall Better Half. She normally hates football and mocks its general watching. But she filed this report after a rapt three hours on the couch Sunday, much of which was spent adoring the general goodness of Mr. Peterson and saying such things as, “It’s really evident just how much they need him.” So true. We’re not sure if we should feel good that she’s embraced the good side of Sunday or bad that we might have brought someone into the lifetime of pain associated with watching the Vikings. But we do know Adrian Peterson is making a difference. He is turning water in to wine, and a whiner into a watcher.
