Adrian Peterson was thinking about changing his uniform number for next season… until he found out how much it would cost.

He thought about changing from the No. 28 to No. 23 but he said it would cost him $1 million to make the switch.

Why?

To change his number, Adrian would have to buy all of the jerseys that have been produced with the number 28.

He tweeted: "I see maybe ten thousand dollars of my total jersey sales! Why in the hell do I have to pay a million dollars to change my number?"

A million bucks probably wouldn't have hurt his bank account… Peterson signed a seven-year, $100 million deal before this season with $40 million coming in the first three years.

Black Sabbath's reunion featuring the original lineup has hit yet another roadblock which puts the new album and tour in jeopardy.

The reunion was dealt it's first blow when guitarist Tony Iommi was diagnosed with cancer but he has vowed to carry on.

Now the reunion is facing another problem with drummer Bill Ward threatening to pull out unless he is given a "signable" contract. 
Ward took to his official website to issue a statement about where things are at for him. He wrote: Dear Sabbath Fans, Fellow Musicians and Interested Parties, At this time, I would love nothing more than to be able to proceed with the Black Sabbath album and tour. However, I am unable to continue unless a "signable" contract is drawn up; a contract that reflects some dignity and respect toward me as an original member of the band. more on this story

The New England Patriots simulated game conditions for Sunday by taking a 31-minute "halftime" break during Wednesday's practice.

After practicing for an hour, the Pats went inside the locker room for 30 minutes as they will during halftime of Super Bowl XLVI before returning to the field to finish out the second half of the practice.

Durin 'halftime of the practice', coach Bill Belichick spoke to them as if it were halftime of the Super Bowl.

It is believed to be the first time in Super Bowl history that a team simulated the extended halftime break.

A Minnesota man was busted driving drunk….on a Zamboni. 

He was clearing the ice for a pee wee hockey practice. 

The 34-year-old part time driver showed up hammered and hopped on the Zamboni to resurface the ice.

He spent 25 minutes doing what should have been a 10 minute job, and he was weaving all over the place. He ended up ramming the machine into the boards pretty hard.

Parents knew something was up and told a coach, who called the cops. When they got there he had managed to get it back in the garage, but he was slurring, reeked of alcohol, and failed field sobriety tests.

He was arrested and blood was drawn at the station. Those results aren't in yet.

Big news for fans of Ronnie James Dio. The first three seminal Dio albums, Holy Diver, Last in Line, and Sacred Heart are getting the deluxe reissue treatment.

That's the good news, the bad news is North American fans apparently will have to order the reissues as imports as these deluxe reissues are coming from Universal, not Warner Bros Records who hold the rights in North America, according the leading Black Sabbath fansiteBlack-Sabbath.com.

The site posted the official announcement with all the details, the tracklisting, plus some additional notes of their own. Of note in the announcement: As well as the original CD being re-mastered, these reissues each feature a bonus CD containing an expanded booklet with notes from Malcolm Dome and has been endorsed by Ronnie's widow Wendy Dio. more on this story

Van Halen warmed up for their world tour with a secret show in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.

The event – at Henson Studios – was in front of 250 media types as the group replicated the east coast Café Wha? show in New York last month.

The setlist was a mix of VH classics and some tracks from the new album, "A Different Kind Of Truth," in stores next Tuesday, February 7. Check out a review of the show here and check out photos here.

-- Straight Married Guy (Ben): The very first thing I'd do is make out with my wife — so hot when she kisses other women. And I'd prolly focus in on the physical experience of being a woman. In other words, lots of sex — lots of it with my wife and lots of it with whatever guys I could find.

-- Straight Single Guy (Max): Obviously, the first thing I would do is try to have an orgasm. Or rather, orgasms. As many as possible. As a man, I've always been a bit jealous and very curious about the possibilities of multiple orgasms, and given this opportunity, I would go for it. After that? I'd probably go out and try to get some nice young man to buy me a whole lot of drinks, a fancy dinner, and maybe torture him a bit before I went home, alone, and pursued even more orgasms.  

-- Gay Single Guy (Daniel): I have often wondered what the difference is between straight women and gay men when it comes to how they think and feel about men in general. My suspicion is that it's probably very similar. Even more interesting to me is how women approach sex with a man. Having enough male privilege, I could say that I'd fearlessly go after the kind of straight man I could never have as a gay man. But since I've never really experienced a fear of sexual violence towards me, that aspect would surely add another layer of complication/fascination to pursuing said straight man. Oh, and while I was at it, I'd definitely masturbate a lot so I could experience the most ecstatic multiple orgasm ever.

Cult frontman Ian Astbury has an album update.

"Let's put it this way – the paint's still wet. We're breaking it to you guys first," says Astbury. "I think we missed our initial release date, partially due to the way that we ended up finishing the record. We began with Chris Goss, who is a very close friend and somebody I've been friends with for over 20 years. And we always talked about doing a Cult record together. Chris did all the refinement, helping us find the material, craft it, and I think we've been at it for quite a while. It just became attrition. Everyone was getting kind of exhausted. Kind of wearing each other out in the studio." more including a new song preview
