Vikings Working to Keep Jerome Felton

NFL fans around the league recognize the name “Adrian Peterson,” as one of the best running backs in the league. There’s no denying it. However, many fans—Minnesotans included—often don’t take the time to recognize the name helping AP shine. That guy is Vikings fullback Jerome Felton. Remember the 64-yard touchdown run Peterson sprinted for in October? A great run to be sure, but it was Felton running loose ahead of the play that created space for the RB to score seven. “ going to be a great back regardless, but all I’m trying to do is make life a...

Kevin Love Leading Despite Injury

The Minnesota Timberwolves currently sit in 10th place in the West with a 17-22 record. They have lost seven out of the last eight and haven’t won back-to-back games since winning four straight in mid-December. Injuries have ravaged the team and game-absences run rampant, even haunting our head coach Rick Adelman. Players are becoming frustrated and angry, particularly Ricky Rubio who lashed out over being benched in the 4th quarter the other night. Losing always breeds discontent. The team is showing signs of seeing the entire season slip away. The team is in need of a leader. Someone to...

AP Reveals Why He Healed So Fast

It’s still unbelievable how quickly Peterson recovered from knee surgery to have one of the best seasons in NFL history. It has been talked about ad nauseum by everyone and their brother, and it still is amazing. Peterson told NFL.com that it’s genetics that has allowed him to recover so quickly. “This is also a matter of genetics,” Peterson told NFL.com’s Jeff Darlington this week. “Look at my dad. And my mom’s side, my aunts and uncles, they’re all ripped. At 50 years old, they’ve got six packs and eight packs. My body just heals differently. I know it has...

Rubio Furious Over Playing Time

The Timberwolves are amidst a horrible midseason swoon. They’ve lost seven out of their last eight games, the latest a 91-83 loss to the Brooklyn Nets at home on Wednesday night. Currently 10th in the West, the Wolves look more like a lottery team of late then they do a playoff contender. Adding to the frustration now is Rubio’s disappointment with being benched last night. A week ago Rubio was pretty candid about his lack of playing time. He told NBA.com that he wants more time, despite recovering from a surgically repaired knee. “It’s hard because I still have...

Vikings Now Sending Six Players to Broken Probowl

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph was named to the Pro Bowl as an injury replacement for for Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez. Rudolph caught 53 passes for 493 yards and 9 TDs in his second NFL season. Rudolph is joining running back Adrian Peterson, kicker Blair Walsh, defensive end Jared Allen, fullback Jerome Felton, and linebacker Chad Greenway (who was added as an injury replacement), as the sixth Vikings player in the Pro Bowl. As we’ve previously pointed out, we are very excited to see six Vikings in the Pro Bowl, but it seems odd to have...

Goldy Wins Gold in National Mascot Competition

  For the second time in three years Goldy has won the national title at the Mascot Competition. This is beginning to be quite a gold standard for mascots here in Minnesota, (pun sadly intended). Held in Orlando last weekend, Goldy faced off against a number of other national mascots, including a few others from our Big Ten rivals. Wisconsin’s Bucky Badger placed third in the competition. Michigan State’s Sparty placed sixth. Ohio State’s Brutus Buckeye landed in the seventh spot. The the poor sap Herky the Hawk from Iowa placed eight. Minnesota’s dance team also won national titles...
