All I've got to say is it must be great to be both young and extremely wealthy. If you have both those things going for you then you can play really funny practical jokes on your friends that most of us can only dream about.
Adrian Peterson did exactly that Wednesday when he decided to take teammate Sidney Rice's new Maserati for a drive and then take it home -- without telling Rice. You can read the entire story on Rice's blog.
Essentially, Peterson left one of his phones at Winter Park on purpose and then called Rice, who was still in the building, to ask him to bring it over. Rice said that would be no problem but then soon realized he couldn't find his keys. And then he realized he couldn't find his car. (If you're thinking this belongs on MTV, you're not alone.)
Eventually, Rice caught on to what Peterson had done and called his friend back. Peterson denied taking the car but what he had done was left his car keys hidden in Rice's locker so the wide receiver could drive to his buddies house to reclaim his Maserati.
Peterson, who despite his fame still seems like a very down to earth person, smiled when asked about the incident on Thursday. "I was trying to give him a hard time," Peterson said. "I ran off in his Maserati. I took it on a little joyride. ... It was nice. It was nice. It fits right in my parking lot, too -- perfectly."
Rice admits in his blog entry that Peterson's joke was funny but adds, "I'm definitely going to get him back. Adrian better be on his toes in the locker room."
Speaking of the locker room, we have an update on the rocking chair that last week was in front of Brett Favre's locker. It has been relocated to Pat Williams' locker. Still haven't seen anyone sitting in it.
