As a lifelong Browns fan, I can't argue with that.

Adrian Peterson ordered to turn over assets to pay $12M debt​

Former NFL running back Adrian Peterson has been ordered by a Houston judge to turn over numerous assets as a means toward paying a debt that is estimated at more than $12 million.

The court-appointed receiver, Robert Berleth, requested this order in July and said Peterson "is known to have numerous assets" at his home in Missouri City, Texas. The Houston judge on Monday ordered constables in Fort Bend County, Texas, to accompany Berleth to Peterson's residence to keep the peace.

Peterson's debt issues began when he took out a loan for $5.2 million from a Pennsylvania lending company in 2016. The sum has grown because of interest and attorney's fees, leading to an $8.3 million judgment against him in 2021.

"No offsets have been made against this judgment to date," the receiver stated in the July court filing.



Entertainers & Athletes Group, the public relations firm representing Peterson, issued a statement to Field Level Media on Tuesday seeking to clarify his position in the matter. EAG said "every effort to resolve this issue has been rejected" and "attempts at an amicable settlement have been rebuffed."

"The article that has surfaced contains no new information. Adrian Peterson has been dealing with this lawsuit since 2017, which stems from a business loan arranged by his then-financial advisor, Jeff Wiseman. The loan was for a company co-owned by Peterson, Wiseman, and another partner. As the majority owner, Peterson was made the guarantor of the loan, making him solely responsible for the collateral," EAG CEO Denise White said in a written statement Tuesday afternoon.

"Wiseman assured Peterson that the company would be able to repay the high-interest loan, as the funds were used to purchase equipment for the business. This was not a personal loan taken out by Peterson but a business loan, and Wiseman guaranteed that it would be repaid from the company's profits. Unfortunately, the company failed to repay the loan, leaving Peterson financially liable for the debt. Meanwhile, Wiseman, who advised Peterson to take out the loan, has not faced any financial or legal responsibility regarding the matter."

Just sayin': Apparently his business advisor Jeff Wiseman gave him really bad financial advise and just screwed him over. It is reported that Adrian Peterson's career earnings in the NFL (from 2007 thru 2021) is $103,215,972 so you have to wonder why he needed a $5.6M loan in 2016.

Worst fear comes true for Steelers punter Cameron Johnston​

Johnston, who took a blow to the knee in the fourth quarter of the Steelers' Week 1 victory over the Falcons, signed a three-year contract* in March.

Stock Up/Down: Ohio State Takes Massive Strides in Run Blocking and Dominates Western Michigan, C.J. Hicks Passed By Arvell Reese on LB Depth Chart​

There’s an argument to be made for every single Ohio State starter being in the Stock Up section of this week's stock report.

The Buckeyes slaughtered Western Michigan 56-0 and looked like every bit of the national championship contender they were touted to be entering 2024. The defense posted its first shutout since 2019. The offense answered questions about its running game with a 273-yard rushing performance.
Name a position group for Ohio State, it excelled against the Broncos, plain and simple. A special teams hiccup or two will be thrown on film and coaches are always going to look for fine details to improve on, but the Buckeyes’ investments are having fantastic returns two weeks into the college football season. The same can't be said for a collection of Big Ten foes, however.

Which makes me ask the question, aren’t they coaching “heads up” tacking? I saw at three possible targeting on Ohio State d-backs, all made with head down helmet on helmet hits plus the one that was called on Burke.

The problem it is hard to tackle a RB who tries to spear you with a helmet with a heads up tackle you either go the legs from behind or the side which brings the head down or you take a helmet to the collarbone and catch him giving up yardage in the process. The old across the bow form of tackling I was taught as a kid doesn't work there.

USC shut out a division 1 football team (mountain west Utah state).

Not a great team, but shut them out.

Could they have done that with Alex Grinch?

I can’t believe, that in the year of our lord 2024, that a CFB QB in Division 1 can not throw for over 100yds!

And to think, Ferentz was suspended a game for illegally recruiting him…

Ha!
Howard currently has 274 pass yards.
