Future Pro Football Hall of Famer Adrian Peterson was released by the Tennessee Titans just over a week ago, but it didn't take him long to find a new opportunity. On Wednesday, the running back signed on with the Seattle Seahawks practice squad, as Pete Carroll wanted to add another running back to the fold since his ground game has been lacking.

The Seahawks aren't the only team that has been poking around the running back market as of late, as Peterson's former team in the Minnesota Vikings has been as well. Dalvin Cook was carted off the field last week during the Vikings' loss to the San Francisco 49ers, and an MRI reportedly revealed that hesuffered a torn labrum. However, head coach Mike Zimmer told reporters that Cook didn't tear his labrum, and would instead be day-to-day.

Even though it appears Cook is going to play through the injury, Minnesota reportedly worked outrunning back Kerryon Johnson. This upset Peterson's father, that Minnesota did not reach out to its franchise legend for a reunion.

"That's disappointing to me. He never heard anything from the Vikings and you go in and bring in a guy Adrian beat out in Detroit (in 2020)," Nelson Peterson said, via Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Peterson was open to inquiries when Minnesota decided to work out Johnson. Before being cut loose, Peterson played in three games for the Titans and rushed 27 times for 82 yards and one touchdown. He is currently fifth on the all-time rushing list with 14,902 yards, and owns several Vikings franchise records such as most career rushing touchdowns (97) and most career rushing yards (11,747).

It sounds as though the Vikings aren't looking for a full-time replacement since Cook will try to play through the injury. It could be viewed as a slight to a Viking legend if Minnesota brought in Peterson only to potentially cut ties with him a couple weeks later. Still, Nelson Peterson thinks it's silly that his son didn't get a call.

Another Sunday has come and gone with NFL Week 13 in the books just short of Monday nights collision between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills.

For former Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson, it was another triumphant return to the field as he made his debut with the Seattle Seahawks after being waived by the Tennessee Titans earlier in the year.

Peterson and the Seahawks hosted the rival San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon trying to right the ship after a recent rough patch put Seattle on the brink of a lost season.

But, with the help of a Peterson rushing touchdown, the Seahawks managed to get a must-have 30-23 win to move to 4-8 on the season and keep some hopes of postseason play alive.

The touchdown from the Sooner legend not only helped his team win but put him in exclusive NFL company.

With Sundays score, Peterson became the first player in NFL history to run for a touchdown with six different teams.

The Minnesota Vikings, the Washington Football Team, the Arizona Cardinals, the Detroit Lions, the Tennessee Titans and now, the Seattle Seahawks.

A storied career gets one more check mark to the Hall-of-Fame resume.

Sooners in the NFL: Week 13 - Sooner Maven

Now, youre in the sunken place.

If you recognize that line, you know the film whose script the Writers Guild of America just voted as the best of the past 22 years. Jordan Peeles Oscar-winning Get Out tops the WGAs just-released list of the 101 Greatest Screenplays of the 21st Century (So Far). See the full list below.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Social Network, Parasite, No Country for Old Men and Moonlight round out the top six. All of them won a Screenplay Oscar, but three of the next four on the WGAs list There Will Be Blood (No. 7),Inglorious Basterds (No. 8) and Memento (No. 10) did not. The No. 9 script, Almost Famous, took Academy Award for Adapted Screenplay.

Christopher Nolan wrote four of the 101 top screenplays 2000sMemento,2008sThe Dark Knight (No. 26), 2010s Inception (No. 37) and 2006sThe Prestige(No. 82). Dark Night and Prestige were co-penned by his brother Jonathan Nolan, who also wrote the short short upon whichMementowas based.

Quentin Tarantino placed three scripts on the list with 2009s Inglourious Basterds, 2019s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and 2012s Django Unchained. Sodid Joel & Ethan Coen with 2007s No Country for Old Men, 2009sA Serious Man and 2013s Inside Llewyn Davis.Alfonso Cuarn also wrote or co-wrote three of the films:Children of Men(No. 18, 2006),Roma(No. 62, 2018) andY tu mam tambin(No. 86, 2001).

Charlie Kaufman penned two of the top dozen screenplays withEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind(2004) andAdaptation(2022). Annie Mumulo & Kristen Wiig made the top showing among women, No. 12 forBridesmaids(2011), with Diana Ossana at No. 13 for 2005sBrokeback Mountain, which she wrote with Larry McMurtry.

Greta Gerwig placed a pair of screenplays on the list:Lady Bird (No. 16; 2007) and Little Women (No. 89; 2019).

Aaron Sorkin also hit a double with 2010s The Social Networkand 2011sMoneyball(No. 56). Michael Arndt is another double honoree, forLittle Miss Sunshine (2006) and Toy Story 3 (2010), as is Wes Anderson, having scripted 2001s The Royal Tenenbaums(No. 14, with Owen Wilson) and 2014s The Grand Budapest Hotel.

The person with the most films on todays WGA list who did not receive Oscar nominations for those same titles is Paul Thomas Anderson. He penned There Will Be Blood, The Master (No. 84, 2012) and The Phantom Thread (No. 87, 2017).

One interesting inclusion from the Writers Guild tally is Mad Max: Fury Road, a film that has so few lines of dialogue that director George Miller had to beat back rumors that Fury Road had no script before it started filming.

This contemporary list spans the past 20-plus years of film, spotlighting a wide array of acclaimed, culture-defining movies and the screenwriters who wrote them, per the WGA.

As voted upon by the members of the Writers Guilds West and East, the list of the 101 Greatest Screenplays of the 21st Century (so far) is both a celebration of the great writers and screenplays of the last 21 years and a study of how writing for the screen has evolved and diversified since the 20th Century, said Aaron Mendelsohn, chair of WGAWs Publicity & Marketing Committee, which conceived the Guilds latest 101 list. .

101 Greatest Screenplays Of The 21st Century: Horror Pic Tops Writers Guilds List - Deadline

Boys Basketball

Logan Prince, West Jordan (Sr.)

West Jordan senior forward Logan Prince is red hot to start the season.

He leads the state in scoring, averaging 28.5 points after scoring 20 points against Brighton last week and then 37 against Jordan. Hes also averaging 11.5 rebounds.

Logan Prince is an outstanding basketball player on and off the court. He has a 4.0 GPA, is a three-year starter and captain of our basketball team. He has great leadership qualities. Hes the type of player that makes everyone around him better. Hes a lot of fun to coach, said West Jordan coach Christian Wouden.

Last season Prince was second on the team in scoring (10.1 ppg) and rebounding (4.6 rpg).

He can and will do whatever is needed to make the team better. He can score inside and outside, he rebounds well, is quick to get steals and he sees the floor really well and makes excellent passes. He has a great basketball mind and IQ. He can play any position on the floor for us. I am extremely happy that Logan Prince is a Jaguar, added Wouden.

Kailey Woolston, Lone Peak (Jr.)

Lone Peak is off to a scorching 3-0 start this season led by returning all-stater Kailey Woolston.

In three games the junior is averaging 23.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 steals. Last season Woolston averaged 18.9 points as a sophomore and was named a 6A first team all-stater.

Kailey is a phenomenal basketball player and leader. She competes with passion and desire, wanting to always get better and better. She takes to heart everything a coach tells her and uses every opportunity she has to learn, work, and improve in whatever area she can, said Lone Peak coach Nancy Warner. I love that she is never satisfied and is always willing to do whatever the team needs to be successful. She accepts any challenge and no moment is ever too big for her she will find a way and always give 100%. Her example and positivity motivates those around her to work hard as well. She is always putting in the time and work to get better everyday. Kailey is such a joy to coach.

Shes been very consistent in her three performances this year scoring 22 points against both Herriman and Copper Hills and then 25 points against Layton.

Evan VanBrocklin, Olympus (Sr.)

One of the states top swimmers last year, Olympus Evan VanBrocklin, is picking up right where he left off early this season.

A month into the season, VanBrocklin already owns top four times in the entire state in six different events, including the top time in the 50, 100 and 200 freestyle.

He ranks second in the 100 butterfly, third in the 200 individual medley and fourth in the 100 backstroke. The 200 IM and 100 fly were the two individual events he took state in last year, and he figures to shave even more time off all of his events over the next couple months of the season.

Maddy Parker, Spanish Fork (Jr.)

Maddy Parker is a freestyle specialist, her times early this season prove that.

A month into the season, the Spanish Fork junior owns the best time in the state in the 50, 100 and 200 freestyle. She also owns the fourth best mark in the 100 backstroke.

Maddy is a hard worker, but thats not only what makes her an exceptional swimmer. She is determined, resilient, patient and mentally and emotionally mature and tough. Those are aspects necessary to excel like she has in the sport of swimming, but also in life. She has, and will continue to thrive because of the woman she is becoming through this amazing sport and her persistent diligence, said Spanish Fork coach Shanon Dowling.

Brady Merkley, Uintah (Sr.)

Brady Merkleys quest for a fourth-straight individual state championship is off to a great start so far this season.

Merkley went 4-0 at the prestigious Layton Invitational last weekend at 144 pounds, winning all his matches by fall. He pinned his opponent just 66 seconds into the championship match.

Merkleys previously three state championships all occurred in 4A, but this year Uintah has bumped up to 5A which features a much deeper classification in his quest for a 4-peat.

Merkley is 6-0 on the season so far.

Quincy Peterson, Westlake (Jr.)

Last week at the Thor Girl Classic at Westlake High School, junior Quincy Peterson continued her strong start to the season posting a 4-0 record to claim the 130-pound title. Earlier this season she went 3-0 at the Wrestling Against Cancer duals also at Westlake.

Quincy is such a hard worker. She trains hard on the mat, in the gym, and in the classroom. We love her spunky personality and dedication to the sport, said Westlake coach Cody Burdett.

Last season as a sophomore Peterson finished third at the inaugural 6A girls state tournament at 124 pounds. So far this season she owns a 7-0 record as she looks to take the next step on the mat.

Jordan Peterson and his daughter Mikhaila Peterson are having an extremely normal time online while discussing their all-meat diets.

It started when Mikhaila Peterson, daughter of the renowned alt-right psychologist, posted scans of her cholesterol blood work on Twitter on Tuesday.

Like her father, Peterson subsists on an entirely all-beef diet. After being plagued with multiple debilitating medical issues such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, she reached her personal solution of eating nothing except salt, beef, and water. To prove the good state of her health, she posted her blood work along with the statement that she had been practicing carnivory for a full year.

Jordan Peterson replied to his daughter with a link to an article fromThe Atlantic. The articlefeatured criticism and research that countered the pairs all-beef diet.

In the article, Jack Gilbert, the faculty director at the University of Chicagos Microbiome Center and a professor of surgery, described Mikhaila Petersons all-beef diet as a terribly, terribly bad idea. Gilbert added, If she does not die of colon cancer or some other severe cardiometabolic disease, the lifeI cant imagine.

Snidely refuting the article, Mikhaila Peterson replied to her father with a picture of herself in a swimsuit and sarcastically pointed to scurvy and vitamin deficiencies.

Well. OK.
