Adrian said from his rookie year its A.D not a.p. ALL DAY give the man respect he's earned it. I have been correcting people since 2007 and it's getting tiring and seemin like an endless battle. Can y'all help me out and make me feel a little better.were all avid Vikings fans here.

Sorry son it is you self appointed "duty" to correct everyone about AD/AP. You have been doing your task since 2007 and now you have joined the VMB to get us all enlightened. Thank you for your hard work

AP are his initials. AD is his chosen nickname. They only way people are wrong is if they say AP is his nickname. I refer to him as AP simply because those are his initials, I only referred to retired players by their nick names, just a habit.

Of all the world's problems, THIS is the one that keeps you up at night? Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I agree with him, actually. I hate when people call him AP. My friend does it and it frustrates me to no end.

I refer to him as AP. Its not disrespectful, Walter Payton was "Sweetness" but was called by his real name, initials, first name, or just his last name by many people.
What a waste of a thread

Most here know he has the AD nickname but I wouldn't be surprised to find out fans from other teams calling him otherwise. I don't know the nickname of {insert just about any player from any other team here}.

I think AD is stupid so he's AP AFAIC. AP may not realize his initials are AP.

High horse? Maybe I wasn't clear. My first sentence isn't meant to say Adrian is stupid, just that the name AD is stupid. My second sentence is recognition that when Adrian speaks, highly intelligent content is rarely what comes out.

I don't think it matters. I don't think Adrian Peterson is going to lose any sleep when some calls him A.P. I mean those are his initials. You don't have to call him AD if you don't want to. That man is making millions of dollars, and I bet he has haters out there who probably have called him worst. You have to literally have no life if you seriously get bugged out when someone calls Peterson, "A.P."
