AP Says 'NO to Gay Marriage'

Adrian Peterson: Gay marriage 'not something I believe in'


MINNEAPOLIS -- NFL MVP Adrian Peterson says he has family members who are gay whom he loves and respects. But on gay marriage, the Minnesota Vikings running back says "that's not something I believe in."

Peterson made his comments in a recent interview with Sirius/XM NFL radio. He was asked his thoughts on the Vikings cutting longtime punter Chris Kluwe, an outspoken advocate for gay rights and gay marriage.

Peterson says he considers Kluwe a good friend. He says: "I have relatives who are gay. I'm not biased towards them. I still treat them the same. I love 'em. But again, I'm not with that. That's not something I believe in. But to each his own."

Gay marriage will become legal in Minnesota on Aug. 1.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers jumped out to a 13-0 first-half lead and received 135 rushing yards from first-round pick Doug Martin to beat the Minnesota Vikings 36-17 on Thursday night.

Tampa Bay used a 28-yard field goal by Connor Barth and a 1-yard touchdown reception by fullback Erik Lorig to jump out to a 10-point lead in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Buccaneers defense forced a pair of turnovers, including a rare fumble by Adrian Peterson, to extend their lead.

Buccaneers defensive end Michael Bennett forced a fumble by Vikings receiver Jerome Simpson that was recovered by Mason Foster. Ten plays and 32 yards later, Barth connected from 40 yards out to extend the lead to 13-0. The Vikings would respond with a quick five-play, 80-yard drive that ended when Percy Harvin made a nice adjustment to haul in a pass from Christian Ponder for an 18-yard touchdown to put the Vikings on the scoreboard.
