Adrian Peterson, former NFL player gets into fist fight while playing poker
Adrian Peterson, former NFL running back was seen throwing punches during a game of poker. Video footage that captured the intense moment went viral. The 40-year-old was seen involved in a heated altercation and fistfight.
Peterson and another player can be seen yelling and throwing punches in the video, which turned a card game into a chaotic scene. As the fight began, a person standing close by attempted to intervene and calm down the situation. He also tried to separate Peterson and his opponent. However, the situation escalated, with the two men moving around the room. They were seen knocking over chairs and bumping into furniture. While some people in the room looked stunned, others were shouting at both men to stop the argument.
Adrian Peterson has a dazzling NFL legacy. He was drafted seventh overall by the Minnesota Vikings in 2007. He then spent a decade with the team before playing for the New Orleans Saints, Arizona Cardinals, Washington Football Team, Detroit Lions, Tennessee Titans, and Seattle Seahawks.
Peterson is a seven-time Pro Bowler and four-time first-team All-Pro. He has also led the NFL in rushing yards three times and rushing touchdowns twice. The awards claimed by him include an MVP award, Offensive Player of the Year, and Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Adrian Peterson announced his retirement in 2021. Post his exit, he has explored new interests, including poker and combat sports.
In 2022, Peterson stepped into the ring for an exhibition boxing match against fellow former NFL running back Le'Veon Bell, where he was knocked out.
Poker has been another venture for the former NFL player, but his recent video raised eyebrows. The poker table fight is a surprising incident in Peterson's post-NFL journey. While the video captures a moment of lost tempers, it is not clear what led to the fight.

IND vs ENG: Ben Stokes bursts out laughing after Rishabh Pant smacks him down the ground for four
Ben Stokes reacts to Rishabh Pant's smashing four after coming on for Yashasvi Jaiswal (Image via X/@mufaddal_vohra) Rishabh Pant wasted no time in getting to work at Headingley on Friday, delivering a powerful shot just moments after Yashasvi Jaiswal's fine century came to an end. Jaiswal, who had anchored India's innings with a composed yet commanding 101 off 159 balls, fell to England captain Ben Stokes — giving the hosts a much-needed breakthrough after a testing first session. The young opener's knock, his fifth Test century and third against England, showcased his growing stature as India's next batting mainstay in the post-Kohli-Rohit era. After his wicket, Pant walked in with India looking to build on Jaiswal's platform and wasted no time stamping his authority. Facing Stokes, the wicketkeeper-batter pushed his first delivery to the on-side, but stepped out of the crease and drove it straight back past the bowler for a crisp four down the ground in the second ball he faced. The shot drew a big laugh from Stokes himself. The England skipper, amused by Pant's typically fearless approach, exchanged a few words and chuckled, while Pant stayed focused, eyes set on steering India to a big first-innings total. Pant, coming in at number five and acting as the vice-captain of this young Indian team, will look to make the most of his innings on Day 1. He is joined by captain Shubman Gill, who has announced his arrival as captain with a solid half century. Yashasvi Jaiswal's Coach on England Prep, Opening Partner, & Playing Under Gill With the series marking the start of India's new Test cycle under Shubman Gill's leadership, Pant's presence in the middle promises more fireworks as the visitors aim to post an imposing score and set the tone for the rest of the series.

'DJ taking us to the playoffs': Indianapolis Colts' QB Daniel Jones will be trained by Jalen Hurts' offensive head coach
(Image via Getty: Daniel Jones) Jalen Hurts became an unstoppable force in his pursuit of the Super Bowl LIX title. Imagine the same kind of energy entering a different NFL player? Now add to that an open quarterback competition(with Anthony Richardson) - wouldn't it all be too good a story to tell? Too good a player to be? Oh, wait. Add Jalen Hurts' creative offensive head coach, Shane Steichen, to it. And it becomes, 'DJ taking us to the playoffs!' as rightly written by one fan. 28-year-old Indianapolis Colts' newest quarterback, Daniel Jones, is going to take the late Jim Asray's team to the playoffs. But some fans don't believe Daniel Jones can take the Indianapolis Colts to the playoffs - they say Jones shines in the offseason but crumbles during the regular season. Everybody looks like a superstar before real games are played, commented one fan for Indianapolis Colts' newest quarterback Daniel Jones An X account shared a video of Daniel Jones' classic QB throw with the caption: 'Daniel Jones leaves and instantly starts throwing nice deep balls I'm done.' Fans commented on that X post with in-chorus reactions: Yeah bro its practice hero season for him. He'll be trash or on a stretcher before September. He aint throwing Darts though Never had an issue with him throwing balls in SPRING PRACTICE like MOST QBs. Its when football actually turns into football thats his bugaboo He does this every offseason. Why we had false hope every year He always looked alright in practice but game time with pass rush he crumbled under the pressure He does this ts every year in camp The problem was never when he was in shorts He always looks solid in practice lol He always did in the off-season program and practice. Games came and he hid in his shell Everybody looks like a superstar before real games are played ! He fooled us 6 seasons in a row think I'm gonna fall for that now lmao He did this with the Giants too. The second it matters he crumbles My dude. Its practice. Danny Jones is the best minicamp qb ever That's cuz it's practice. He did that sh*t for us. Watch if he gets into actual live game action He threw nice deep balls during practice. Also, prior years before the injuries he also threw good deep balls Always threw a nice ball, in practice. his problem is processing under real game speed Always a good 'in shorts' QB Daniel Jones may shine in Indianapolis because their offensive line is better than the one he got in New York On June 19, Jeffri Chadiha of boldly predicted that Daniel Jones would win the Comeback Player of the Year. His reasons? A chance to compete for the starting quarterback position with a third-year veteran, Anthony Richardson. Richardson has been inconsistent ever since he was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts. Jones played with quarterback Sam Darnold in the Minnesota Vikings. Creative offensive head coach Shane Steichen, who turned the raw talent of Jalen Hurts into an MVP-caliber quarterback in Philadelphia, would coach Jones in Indianapolis. Steichen could maximize Jones' talent in Indianapolis because he has a better offensive line there as compared to the one he had in New York.
