RE: Percy Harvin's Injury...more specifics:

ESPN 1500 Twin Cities reported that Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin had a Grade 3 ankle sprain, which signifies a complete ligament tear. Such an injury typically has a four to six week recovery time and Harvin is entering his fifth week since the injury. The team hoped he would be able to play following their Week 11 against Chicago but Harvin was not ready. "It's still a little stiff in certain areas," Harvin said. "A little swelling -- it's just not major swelling. So, it's to the point now where I feel like I can do a little something."

I've watched about 4 or 5 vikings games on that NFL Dish 'shortcuts' deal. It's remarkable how that offense is completely horizontal. Passes in the flat to Peterman, WR screens or quick tosses to Percy Farvin, short dumps to the TE over the middle. Absolutely no deep game at all. Even when the Vikes got down by two scores against other teams, they kept running the ball and throwing the screens and dump offs. The reason is they have no other options. I really thought the game with the Pack would be a total laugher, except that the Packers did enough to keep it close. I don't imagine all their rookies and redshirt rookies will have as hard a time tackling Peterman in the dome. I give it about equal odds that one of Chad Johnson, T.O. or Braying Jackass will be in a Vikings uniform for the Dec 30 rematch. But it won't help.

you got it, Rand.

I couldn't believe the Queens signed Jerome Simpson in the off-season. That poor kid is too dumb to run a pass route. Tthey have him in the sorriest WR group I've seen in awhile.

Peterson is such a hoss. He's got the whole team on his back & sometimes, he can carry 'em all.
