Sometimes you just have to scratch your head.

Earlier today Former LSU CB Patrick Peterson issued a very public and very vehement denial about ever knowing Willie Lyles.

OK...I can see a guy standing up for his image, we would do the same if we were wronged.

Just one small problem...

In a pay-per-view article that appeared on Rivals.com‘s A&M website back in early August of 2007, Peterson — then called Patrick Johnson — told the author of the piece that his "dad and I were in Houston visiting one of his friends and he suggested that we go look at A&M."  And who was that friend of his father?  Brian Perroni, the writer who spoke to Peterson back in 2007, tweeted the answer earlier today:

Heh...

Here is a little more.

There’s just one problem with Peterson’s denial of ever having even visited College Station, and we’ll refer back to the Rivals.com article for the salient point.

"I visited Texas A&M the other day," the then-Patrick Johnson told the website, again back in 2007 before he had signed with LSU in February of 2008.

"Everything there was great. The facilities were the best I had seen of anywhere that I’ve been this summer. But I really liked their academic program the best. They really stressed that a lot and let me know that I was there to get my degree first. That’s important to me."

Here is the one thing that makes me LMAO...Just wait until he has to actually rely on his brains and not his athletic skills to earn a living and be a productive member of society.

I mean did Peterson think that someone wouldn't call this out?
