In this episode of The Red Light Sports Ramble, presented by The Red Light Sports Network, Evan Witalison and Troy Otradovec will switch to a sport that is not even playing, the NFL.  Recently, Adrian Peterson took to twitter to voice his anger and frustration.  He is under contract, through 2017.  Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer stated that Peterson will play for the Vikings or have to retire.  Peterson is set to make $12.5 million, in 2015.  However, there is no guaranteed money left after next season.  The NFL is a business, and if the team does not feel that the investment is worth the money, they will cut the player.  The question arises "Why do teams and players sign lucrative long term deals, when both sides know they will never see the end of the deal?"
