Vikings pair sniped by speed traps
December 7th, 2009 by why be athletic | Posted in Gen. Discussion, football | 195 viewsThe Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports: Vikings receiver Bernard Berrian joined teammate Adrian Peterson in the speeding ticket club after going 104 m.p.h. in a 60 m.p.h. zone the day after the Vikings beat the Bears 36-10.
According to patrol Capt. Matt Langer, a trooper stopped Berrian at 9:38 p.m. in the southbound lane on Monday.
Meanwhile, a tape of Peterson’s Saturday traffic stop (109 m.p.h. in a 55-m.p.h. area) shows the speedy running back might not have been watching the speedometer closely.
When Peterson replied, “85,” the officer replied, “you think you were 30 over the limit? I got you going 109.” After giving Peterson the ticket, the officer, referring to Sunday’s game against the Bears, told Peterson, “Good luck to you tomorrow.”
