Yesterday, the NFL Channel ran a very interesting stat comparison between Adrian Peterson and PercyHarvin over the last few games. As much as Peterson has done for the Vikings, it was surprising to see that Harvin has actually done more recently. In Sunday’s game against the Pack, Harvin caught 84 yards worth of passes, ran up 175 yards returning kicks and scored...
How does one sum up the talents of Viking phenom PercyHarvin? Noted locker room grappler Adrian Peterson tried it by whipping out an unusual animal analogy culled from his rural experiences. “I call him a young hog,” Peterson said while gushing about Harvin’s abilities. “I’m from the country and I know how wild boars get [...]
by Thomas George Filed under: Vikings , NFL Analysis GREEN BAY, Wis. -- How can a person that's so fast be so slow? But there was PercyHarvin in the Minnesota Vikings locker room on Sunday night, methodically prepping himself before addressing the media. Slacks and shoes on. Check. Lotion applied from head to toe.

If there's any conclusion to be made from The Game Of The Year, it's that there are many teams who should be ashamed of themselves for deciding against selecting The Steal Of The Draft last spring. This game was supposed to be the Brett Favre Show, and to a large extent, it was. He lived up...
PercyHarvin won the Rookie of the Week award. Voting from fans is how the award is decided. Harvin beat out Shonn Greene, Jacob Lacey, Beanie Wells, and Jairus Byrd. Mike Wallace of the Steelers had 3 catches for 72 yards and a touchdown and also ran twice for 18 yards but was not considered for the [...]
I’d say this picture perfectly sums up the first two and a half quarters of the Vikings-Packers game. If you didn’t see this play; Harvin came down with the ball after adjusting and making a very nice catch. He turns around to find three Packers in a heap on the ground. It literally looked like something [...]
... bad. We let a lot of people down today." Under less dramatic circumstances, rookie receiver PercyHarvin would have been Sunday's star after catching five passes for 84 yards and a touchdown and returning five kicks for 175 yards. But Harvin didn't mind yielding the spotlight to Favre. "He's played this game a long time, he sees a lot of stuff that a lot of quarterbacks

... 2, 2009You gotta take risks. Like the Vikings, who rolled the dice and drafted Adrian Peterson and PercyHarvin. The result? Both are paying dividends in Minnesota's 7-1 start this year, Clark Judge says.The Texans likely lost arguably the most valuable tight end in Fantasy in Week 8 and saw the birth of a running back controversy. Our Jamey Eisenberg touches on that and more in his...
... expected out of Alabama, and it probably should have been what we expected of the Gators without PercyHarvin and Louis Murphy. Both teams have the same M.O. right now: grind-it-out offense, excellent defense, limit mistakes. Alabama did finally get Julio Jones going against LSU. His big play turned the game for the Tide, which trailed going into the fourth quarter.But which grind-it-out...
... system, and the early results have been spectacular.OFFENSIVE ROOKIE: Some pro scouts scoffed at PercyHarvin's potential impact in the NFL, but Minnesota took a chance. The former Gators standout has given the Vikings a dangerous weapon at receiver with 28 catches for 369 yards and three TDs. Harvin is also averaging 30.7 yards on kickoff returns, scoring twice and he has...
... the fifth time in seven league games. The solution was standing on the sideline in street clothes. PercyHarvin , a first-round draft pick by the Minnesota Vikings, attended the game along with former teammate and current Oakland Raiders receiver Louis Murphy .
