    Yea. I'm awfully rusty and got some work to do

    I figure with time the text will come back. Lol.

     

    I am sure an Adrian Peterson sig like that second Austin one would help knock of that rust. :yep:

    I know that a lot of people are saying that AP should still have a good game against the Texans, but I still have worries. I believe that J.J. Watt will wreck havoc on our line and get AP in the backfield a few times, and maybe even been enough to stop him from flat out dominating.

     

    Vick Ballard rushed for over 100 yards on just 18 carries against the Texans so I think AP will do just fine.

    I did not say it did. It just makes him another 25 year old kid who is prone to being a dumbass from time to time. It is nothing personal against him but hell he is 25 and rich, the world is his oyster. He is going to say dumb shit from time to time, no big deal.

     

    For the record what is all the good he has done ? Not being dense as I am sure he has some sort of charity, about all NFL players do. Is there anything that he has done in particular for us to say he is a great guy or is it just he hasn't fucked up like so many other players ?

     

    He runs the All Day Foundation which raises funds and awareness for programs that inspire hope and build a better future for at-risk youth. He donates $5,000 to the foundation for every TD he scores.

     

    Peterson has also been honored for his various charity works:

     

    Adrian Peterson corralled a lot of awards during his rookie season, but Friday he was honored for his activities off the field as one of the recipients of the NFL PLAYERS Gala JB Awards. The award, named for CBS’ “NFL Today” host James Brown, honors players who take an active role in their communities with charity work. The event, which was held Friday in Washington D.C., was co-sponsored by NFL PLAYERS – the licensing and advertising arm of the NFL Players Association.

     

    Peterson was selected as one of the recipients of the “Emerging Leader” Award for his volunteer work with Special Olympics Minnesota, The African American Adoption Agency and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Minnesota. He also recently began his own foundation – the Adrian Peterson All Day Foundation – and will host a youth football camp in Oklahoma this June.

    He is great on the field and off of it....

    Percy Harvin - WR - Vikings

    Dec 5 - 6:45 PM

     

    Vikings placed WR Percy Harvin on injured reserve with an ankle injury, ending his season.

     

    As beat writer Tom Pelissero opined on Twitter, that escalated quickly. Coach Leslie Frazier admitted Wednesday that Harvin may not play again this season, but it stood to reason the Vikings would give their second best player another week or two to heal up. The fact that they haven't is a strong indication he needs surgery after tearing a ligament in his left ankle in Week 9. The news leaves the Vikings embarrassingly thin at receiver, and coupled with Christian Ponder's frequently dismal performances, places a massive load on the shoulders of Adrian Peterson as they fight to remain in the NFC Wild Card picture. This is the first time in Harvin's four-year career he's been placed on injured reserve. He had missed just three total games coming into 2012. Entering the final year of his rookie deal in 2013, Harvin's contract figures to be a point of emphasis for the Vikings in the offseason. He was a legit MVP candidate before going down. Harvin is still only 24 years old.

    There goes any chance of the wild card....

    Percy Harvin - WR - Vikings

    Dec 5 - 1:45 PM

     

    ESPN 1500 Twin Cities believes "there could be another issue at play" with the Vikings' handling of Percy Harvin's ankle injury.

     

    Beat writer Tom Pelissero doesn't venture a guess as to what the issue might be, but does point to Harvin's bizarre offseason unhappiness. Pelissero also believes Harvin could be contemplating surgery after it was revealed Tuesday that his high-ankle sprain involved a complete ligament tear. Harvin is the kind of player you never say never with, but his 2012 outlook is getting less encouraging by the day.

    Percy Harvin - WR - Vikings

    Dec 5 - 12:52 PM

     

    Coach Leslie Frazier admitted that he doesn't know if Percy Harvin's (ankle) season is over.

     

    Harvin won't practice Wednesday. The sprain Harvin sustained back in Week 9 has proven to be far more serious than the Vikings initially believed. He was not able to practice Wednesday and is believed to have a complete ligament year. When Frazier was asked if Harvin's season is over, the coach said, "hard to say." Coaches are rarely that pessimistic on injuries even if they're forced to massage the truth a little bit. Harvin remains a hold in all formats until we get more concrete answers here, but the outlook appears bleak.

    Report: Harvin's ligament was completely torn

    Dec 4 - 4:59 PM

     

    ESPN 1500 Twin Cities reports Percy Harvin's Week 9 left ankle injury was a Grade 3 sprain, which means a complete ligament tear.

     

    The injury usually comes with a 4-6 week timetable, and Harvin is now in his fifth week of recovery. The Vikings were initially optimistic that Harvin could return Nov. 25 versus the Bears, but the pain has lingered and he's struggled to get in and out of his breaks. Harvin will reportedly attempt to practice on Wednesday and could play with a pain-killing injection on Sunday versus the Bears.

    Wright Highlights What's Wrong With Minnesota's Receivers

    By Christopher Gates on Nov 27, 8:43a

     

    Jarius Wright (representing The Daily Norseman) has already made a significant impact on the Minnesota Vikings, despite only being active for two games so far in the 2012 NFL season.

     

    In the two games he's been active, Wright has caught 10 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown. It's definitely enough to make one wonder why he couldn't get onto the field any sooner than he did, particularly when compared to some of the Vikings' other wide receivers.

     

    Here's the sad comparison:

     

    Jarius Wright (2 games) - 10 catches, 114 yards, 1 TD

     

    Jerome Simpson (7 games) - 12 catches, 138 yards, 0 TD

     

    Devin Aromashodu (10 games) - 11 catches, 182 yards, 0 TD

     

    Stephen Burton (9 games) - 2 catches, 13 yards, 1 TD

     

    Yes, in just two games, Wright has almost as many catches as our big free agent acquisition for this season, almost as many as a guy that's been on the team for the last two seasons, and five times as many as another guy that's been on the team for the last two seasons. (He also has as many TD catches as those three players combined, and none of the other three guys have found the end zone since Week 2.) Not to mention that he also already has twice as many receptions as tight end John Carlson.

     

    Christian Ponder has taken a lot of heat for not getting the ball to the wide receivers. Well, he doesn't seem to be having any trouble getting the ball to Jarius Wright, from all appearances. Jarius Wright appears to have the ability to actually get open on occasion. The other three guys I listed? Not so much, no.

     

    The Minnesota Vikings currently have six wide receivers on the 53-man roster. . .Percy Harvin, Michael Jenkins, Jarius Wright, Devin Aromashodu, Jerome Simpson, and Stephen Burton. As I've said before, I don't expect any of those guys not named Harvin or Wright to be on this team next season.

    Found this interesting and depressing at the same time.

    The offensive coordinator does seem like he's kind of dumb. The past few games, we haven't given it to Harvin enough. And when Peterson was acing against the Seahawks? We didn't give it to him enough in the second half.

     

    This draft, I hope we can pick up a big-name receiver. Any great receivers that you guys can think of?

     

    Justin Hunter out of Tennessee is a guy I think the Vikings should target. Hes probably the most physically gifted WR in the draft. He is 6-4 around 200.
