Vikings running back Adrian Peterson feels Teddy Bridgewater will be great

Teddy Bridgewater = Greatness? According to Adrian Peterson he has that “it” factor

The Minnesota Vikings were a field goal away from making it deep in the NFC Playoffs.  They did it on the grace of their young quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, and now their running back feels Peterson has greatness in his eyes. 

“When I look in his eyes, I see greatness,” Peterson said, via ESPN’s Ben Goessling. “I see a young man who’s — even now, he’s matured more, and he wants to be great. He has that leadership, he has that leader inside him and it’s coming out even more. He just has a good spirit. He has a good soul, a good spirit. And when you combine that with talent, and the mindset that he has, greatness will come out.”

I think the Vikings are on the edge of greatness myself. It will not be long and they will be dominating the NFC North.

Former #Vikings player says Brock Lesnar suplexed a player in a game

Brock Lesnar’s highlights are now on Youtube

Brock Lesnar is a big boy, but his former teammate Nate Burleson had a great story of the UFC star.  Check this video out, it is pretty cool.

 “He came out and somebody cheap-shotted (quarterback) Daunte Culpepper late. And Brock was like, ‘Who did it?,’ ” Burleson said when asked the nastiest thing he ever saw at NFL training camp. “The next play, he went and suplexed the guy. Different type of nasty, but he picked up a grown man after the play. “It was a Royal Rumble: Minnesota versus Kansas City … That was a nasty suplex on the football field.

Former Vikings WR says he wanted to fight Brad Childress he took a game check from him

Former Vikings wide out Troy Williamson says he wanted to fight Brad Childress

Troy Williamson the former South Carolina Gamecock wide out was speaking to the media about his time in Minnesota, and boy did he get made when they mentioned his head coach Brad Childress.  According to Williamson, the former coach took his game check from him after he left the team because of his grandmother’s funeral. The situation got so bad that Williamson reportedly said that he wanted to fight Childress.

“And I never really got a true apology for that. He went back and gave me the game check back — which I donated to charity to show it wasn’t even about the money — but that was because the veterans like Antoine Winfield and Bryant McKinnie went back at it,” Williamson said, per Michael Rand, Minnesota Star Tribune. “They know the importance of family and other things bigger than football. So that was the time that I lost all respect (for Childress).”

Childress has yet to get another head coaching job in the NFL since being fired by Minnesota, and he has a winning record as a head coach.

Vikings wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson admits he hasn't worked hard enough

Cordarrelle Patterson admits he has been a bit lazy

The Minnesota Vikings thought they hit gold with former Tennessee wide out Cordarrelle Patterson, and for a minute, I too believe they had a gold mine.  The problem is he has petered out to say the least.

Patterson could be on the chopping block and he understands that. In a recent interview, Patterson admitted he has not worked hard enough.

“Sometimes you can be here and you feel like you’ve got to be on the team,” Patterson said, per the St. Paul Pioneer Press. “You feel like, ‘Yeah, I’m a first-round pick, I’m on the team.’ Things like that, sometimes they make you not work hard, they make you don’t want to do things, make you be lazy.”

I hope he wakes up because he is talented. I like the Purple People Eaters in the playoffs.
