Peterson's father denied request to watch OU openerAssociated Press


NORMAN, Okla. -- The father of Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson will have to wait a little longer before getting to see his son play in person.

Nelson Peterson, who spent nearly seven years in prison in Texarkana, Texas, for money laundering, was released to a halfway house in Oklahoma City this summer, but his request to attend Saturday's OU-Alabama-Birmingham game in Norman has been denied, The Oklahoman reported.

Adrian Peterson has said he would be disappointed if is dad was not allowed to attend because he has traveled from the halfway house in downtown Oklahoma City to Edmond, where he works at an auto dealership.

"I don't see why he can't come 30 minutes down the road to see his son play ball," Adrian Peterson said. "That'd be kind of crazy."

Nelson Peterson is expected to be released Oct. 5. OU plays Texas on Oct. 7.

HMMMMMMMM, I wonder if AD will be ready to kick *** on Oct. 7?

I know it sucks for AD to not have his Dad there on Saturday, but woe to saxeT on October 7.

I hate to sound mean, but "you do the crime..."

[The Preach Man]

Im happy for AD and his dad that he will be able to watch his son play this year. BUT

If you do the crime you do the time. He's fortunate that his sentence is up during this season and that he gets to watch AD at all.

BUT

He has done his time(by october) and he will get to see "little adrian" soon enough.

But the guy served 7 years in prison. Let him watch his son for crying out loud.

1. Please look at the board before beginning new threads.

2. WTF does the guy spending 7 years in prison have to do with him finishing his sentence? Liberal much?

3. One non-news thread is enough.
