No Superbowl means the fans can make up whatever stuff they want about Peterson.

Gretz should know that.

I'm positive at Marty's intro press conference was where you got the "5 year plan" remark... either by Carl or Marty or possibly both. I also remember another quote from the press conference being "The goal every year is to compete for the championship and win a Super Bowl".
