Which is not to trash Adrian, it appears he's lifted himself out of all that crap... so I'll hope that he's able to get past this latest tragedy, and go on to have a successful NFL career (preferably somewhere in the AFC)...

And I'll hope that he's able to stay above the muck and mire his family was apparently up to their necks in... here's hoping that from now on, avoiding injury is his biggest worry...
you can read it two ways; one, Peterson's family (and Adrian himself) are involved in some shady activities and this will eventually catch up with him or, two, that Adrian did lift himself 'above the muck'

I'm inclined to believe the latter--and this makes Peterson all the more impressive
