(TheHuddle) Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson said he does not regret skipping the team's minicamp in order to be present during "Adrian Peterson Day" in his hometown, reports Matt Baker, of the Tulsa World. Head coach Brad Childress was critical of Peterson for missing the minicamp, but Peterson said he has talked with team officials and it is no longer an issue.
Analysis: Childress has only himself to blame for setting the "star treatment" precedent with Brett Favre, though Peterson could have made this a non-issue by informing the Vikings prior to his absence rather than letting them read about it in the paper.
