Yesterday, the biggest choice many Americans make on a four-year basis occurred, and pretty much EVERYONE voted for the wrong people. EXCEPT FOR PJD READERS. You see, yesterday on Twitter we held our own election for government positions by only using Minnesota Vikings players, coaches, franchise affiliates, former players, mascots, and whatever the hell else I could think of. What we ended up with was almost an entire functioning government made out of Vikings affiliates, which we will present to you today since it's kind of topical.
In no particular order, here is our Vikings government:
PRESIDENT: Adrian Peterson, aka, Purple Jesus.
This one was probably pretty obvious, but who else from the Vikings would you want to run the show? Get it, "RUN"?! It's funny, just go with it.
VICE PRESIDENT: Percy Harvin, aka, Sir Smokes A-Lot.
As you can see in the ballot, the only other real option for a running mate for Purple Jesus was the only other guy ...

Peterson's brilliance not helping Vikings air game
Adrian Peterson is only getting better as the season wears on, producing at a level that matches what he did before going down with a major knee injury last December.
The problem for the Minnesota Vikings is that all that success on the ground isn't doing a thing for their passing game. While Peterson has topped 100 yards in three straight weeks, Christian Ponder has only gotten...

I won’t get into the recovery timeline on Adrian Peterson’s ACL injury, short of saying that its quite amazing that he was on the field for week 1 and his production ever since has been amazing.
Getting himself to the field for week 1, in my eyes, was heroic. What he’s doing out there, on a surgically repaired leg or not, is also worthy of our admiration. Through 9 weeks...

When it comes to the Minnesota Vikings offense, they have two objectives: get the ball to Adrian Peterson or get the ball to Percy Harvin. With the latter being deemed “extremely doubtful” for Sunday’s showdown with the Lions, Peterson figures to see a full workload, and then some.
Christian Ponder has struggled mightily of late, and the subtraction of his top threat isn...

Will the speedy return from a torn ACL by Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson reshape how some in football view the injury?
Its worth considering.
Peterson had reconstructive surgery on Dec. 30 and could top 1,000 yards for the season this weekend, according to Dan Wiederer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Peterson has been getting more effective each week and has...

There is no other way to lead a recap of Sunday’s games than with a discussion of Doug Martin’s effort. I spent the week talking about how the loss of the best guard in football may have an impact on this line (lets give Tampa’s o-line some credit, too) and the run game. Martin and his teammates proved me wrong on game day. Oakland fought valiantly to stay in this game, but...

Last week: 12 (-7)

In his last 4 games, Christian Ponder completed 73 of 126 (57.9%) for 724 yards (5.7 YPA), 4 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions, all less than stellar team performances (0-3-1 ATS, 1-3 SU). The only reason it was even close against Seattle was because Adrian Peterson went nuts, but as talented as he is, he can’t do it by himself. Even worse, their only...
