You "have to" put a safety over Mike Wallace. You "have to" put a safety in box vs. AP. Therein lies the rub.

I agree with those on twitter who have said hiring Zimmer is the smartest thing Spielman has done. He has made a lot of good player personnel decisions over the years but this team is just so different with Zimmer leading the way. I can't believe teams shied away from him for years because he was "brash" and "too honest".

Where did that come from

I wonder if Peterson will actually see a little more preseason playing time than he typically gets since he's been away from game contact for a extended period of time.

I love it.

Souhan: News conference stops an avalanche of blunders by Peterson

I was disgusted by the act, and the reaction of Peterson and anyone who defended him. I was sickened by people wearing his jersey and holding switches at football stadiums.

Tuesday’s news conference stopped the avalanche of Peterson blunders and offered a glimpse of humanity behind the clownish and boorish behaviour — even if the human remains a little too defiant and unrealistic to be thoroughly likable.

Most of us will never again look at Peterson as merely a great football player, but if he has learned and perhaps inadvertently delivered a lesson on responsible parenting, is this the right time to turn the page to football and nothing but football?

And if not now, then when?

I hate Souhan.

What a putz. All he saw was his own projection, and now he's too prideful and unreflective to acknowledge how far off base his perception was.

I love it.

Me too. Charles Johnson should get a lot of single coverage, hopefully he can exploit it!!!

Well said. I have no doubt Souhan was one of the people in the room yesterday that Peterson wasn't happy to see.

@murphPPress Peterson said Dayton's harsh criticism had in part fueled his desire to leave the #Vikings Has state's top elected official back in corner

@murphPPress Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton on Adrian Peterson's return: “I am glad he is back with the #Vikings. I wish him well – and 2,500 yards rushing.”

I'm going to do myself a favor and not read the Souhan article. It's just going to put me in a ad mood.

Leave it to a politician to flip-flop when he thinks nobody is looking.

What's that, everybody? You think Peterson's actions are disgusting? Me too!

Oh, now that the situation has died down and people aren't paying attention other than Vikings fans wanting to see him on the field? Me too!

How far off-base was it?

[PurpleKoolaid]

How far off-base was it?

My question too.

I am happy AD is back. The Vikings need him. And I didnt think I would see him play more then a few downs (until he gets hit hard) and that would be it for the season. But now, im very optimistic he is in it full the long haul, and will play his heart out. But its going to take a while to forget some of the things he has said, and did. But no one can doubt his sincerity about being sorry for what he did to his son. I just hope he can keep his mouth shut for the majority of the year.
