Video emerges of Minnesota Vikings legend getting into an altercation in Houston
Adrian Peterson has had a very interesting couple of months in 2025, more so than any former player in Vikings history one could argue.
In April, former Vikings running back Adrian Peterson made an appearance at the team's NFL Draft event but was cited for DWI early on April 25, leaving the event. The Minnesota Star Tribune first reported the news of Peterson's booking on that Friday.
From there, we had not heard from the former star running back until Thursday afternoon when TMZ Sports dropped their latest nugget on him.
The celebrity gossip site, with part-time sports insider knowledge, shared a video of Peterson at a poker game in Houston, Texas, getting into an altercation. Peterson can be seen on video attempting to get physical with someone who was in the poker game with him, reportedly, the issue stems from a hand in the game.
Peterson actually gave comment to TMZ Sports, saying, ""Me and the guy, we're cool, we've known each other. It was literally like a brother situation. We agreed to disagree, we had our words, and we threw blows -- and that was it."
Police were not called, and no further punishment was taken against either man at the event.

Travis Kelce Has Reportedly Dropped 25 Pounds Ahead of NFL Season
Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce will be entering his 12th NFL season at the age of 35 and is coming off a 2024 campaign where he finished with 823 yards receiving and three touchdowns, marking the lowest output of his career in both categories, among others. So, perhaps some kind of change was in order? Advertisement Given his age—Kelce will turn 36 the day before a Week 5 Sunday Night Football showdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars—and the physical nature of playing tight end, some kind of change might have been in order anyway in the name of keeping up, regardless of the stats he put up last season. Travis Kelce attends the Amazon 2025 Upfront at Beacon Theatre on May 12, 2025 in New York that appears to be the case, as reports have circulated that Kelce, officially listed at 250 pounds, has dropped 25 pounds in the offseason. That's a pretty significant drop in weight, and one that may have been necessary considering NFL insiders have indicated Kelce was playing "a little heavier" last season. "He [Kelce] will debut a bit of a slimmer look," ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler said. "He's told people close to him that he's lost about 25 pounds this offseason. Played a little heavier in 2024, it was sort of a thing. He vowed to change it, and he has." Advertisement "This could be the last dance here for him," Fowler continued. "Mid 30s, still a productive player. They want to go to him on third down, but declining a little bit, so he's trying to be slimmer and has gone hardcore this offseason to make it work in what could be his final season." With Fowler mentioning that the 2025 season could very well be Kelce's final run with the Chiefs, it's completely understandable for the seven-time All-Pro to have placed a significant focus toward trimming down. Remember, when he explained on his popular New Heights podcast to brother Jason Kelce as to why he chose not to retire, one of the major factors contributing to him coming back for at least one more go was due to how unhappy Kelce was with the level he was playing at, and feeling like he let his teammates down. Related: Travis Kelce Admits Financial Pressure Challenged Retirement Decision "I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them," Kelce said back in March. "I got a bad taste in my mouth on how I ended the year and how well I was playing." Advertisement Considering star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs as a whole will likely be entering the 2025 season with a rather large chip on their shoulder following an ugly 40-22 Super Bowl blowout loss that was even worse than the final score indicates, a recharged and in-shape Kelce has got to be music to the ears of head coach Andy Reid and his staff. NFL fans will get an official look at the rejuvenated Kelce almost immediately, with Chiefs' mandatory minicamp beginning on Tuesday, June 17, and set to wrap up on Thursday, June 19.

Steelers DT Cam Heyward responds to NFL All-Quarter Century Team snub in hilarious fashion
Steelers DT Cam Heyward responds to NFL All-Quarter Century Team snub in hilarious fashion Practice squad? Bet — Cam Heyward (@CamHeyward) June 18, 2025 The Cam Heyward disrespect never ends — but the elite Steelers veteran defensive tackle isn't fazed. ESPN released their All-Quarter Century Team, but Heyward didn't make the starting roster and was instead delegated to the practice squad. Here was his response on social media: "Practice squad? Bet." The veteran Steeler was paired with Hall of Fame DT Kevin Williams on the practice squad, while three defensive tackles were ranked ahead: Aaron Donald, Calais Campbell, and Chris Jones. Heyward is one of the best defensive tackles of his generation and has consistently proven that year in and year out — including putting together one of the best seasons of his career last year at 35 years old. A Super Bowl is likely the goal in mind for Heyward, but there has to be some extra motivation in 2025 to once again prove the media wrong.

Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders ticketed for speeding twice in June
STRONGSVILLE, Ohio — Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been ticketed for speeding twice this month in Ohio. Sanders was accused of driving a Dodge TRX pickup truck 101 mph (163 kilometers per hour) on a suburban Cleveland interstate earlier this week. The Strongsville Police Department stopped Sanders at about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday in a 60 mph (97 kilometers per hour) zone on Interstate 71 near the Ohio Turnpike, according to a report provided to local media. Sanders, 23, could pay a $250 fine to waive the fourth-degree misdemeanor case, according to police. But it wasn't the first time he'd been pulled over for allegedly speeding since joining the Browns. That ticket came after he was stopped by the Ohio State Patrol on June 5 in Brunswick Hills, Ohio. Sanders was pulled over for going 91 mph (147 kilometers per hour) in a 65 mph (105 kilometer) zone, Ohio State Patrol told WKBN-TV . According to Medina Municipal Court records, Sanders failed to appear for an arraignment for that ticket on Monday and owes $269 in court costs. Browns spokesman Peter John- Baptiste told Thursday that: 'he is taking care of the tickets.' Sanders, the son of Hall of Fame player Deion Sanders, was drafted in the fifth round (144th overall) of the NFL draft this spring, even though many projections had him going in the first round. He played under his father at the University of Colorado. Sanders is competing against three other quarterbacks with the Browns. They wrapped up minicamp last week and will open training camp in late July. ___ AP NFL:
