ADRIAN PETERSON RUMORS

Minnesota Vikings have trouble spots looming?

By most standards, the Minnesota Vikings did a pretty darned good job in the 2013 NFL Draft, but one cylinder on the defensive side may have misfired.  Staring any number of needed linebackers in the face during the final stages of Round One, the Vikings managed to move back up into that late first round gold mine and select……a wide receiver.  The long term upside for the...

Frazier: Peterson healthy, no interest in Urlacher

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Adrian Peterson sped back from major knee surgery as quick as anyone ever has, so it's no surprise to hear he's almost fully back after having sports hernia surgery following last season. Speaking on NFL AM on NFL Network Wednesday morning, Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said Peterson has been slowed in his offseason workouts because of surgery...

Ah Crap, Adrian Peterson is Going to Probably Be on the Madden Cover

It feels like we've been fighting this battle for YEARS, but ultimately in 2011 we learned it didn't matter. I've been a pretty vocal proponent until that point about making sure we - as loyal fans! - did everything in our power to keep Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson off of the cover of the Madden NFL video game, because of conspiracies about a "Madden...

TMZ reporter falls while talking to Peterson

Not only does this TMZ reporter ask Adrian Peterson a really stupid question about gay players in the NFL, but he falls over in the process.  This is truly priceless.     Need NFL Tickets? var _CI = _CI || {}; (function() { var script = document.createElement('script'); ref = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; _CI.counter = (_CI.counter) ? _CI.counter...

Will A.P. become the Viking’s most penalized player?

Adrian Peterson said last month that his goal for the upcoming season was to rush for 2500 yards.  It’s a lofty goal.  Most football fans would agree that that number is probably a little farfetched, but after the season he had last year there is no doubt that when the guy sets his mind to something he’s going to work his butt off to accomplish it. Of course, the opposing...
