		<description><![CDATA[If the doctors think AP is ready to play, which seems to be the case, its better to have him play in pre-season first, and test the knee there, rather than in a regular season game.   I expect he will come off the PUP and take some reps in the last 2 pre-season games if he is to play week 1.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seriously, tease us all you like about our team not winning a super bowl but wishing a player to be crippled crosses the line.  I do not wish that on ANY player on ANY team (including the packers).

No wonder packer fans are the most ridiculed fanbase of pro sports with comments like theirs above.]]></description>

He is only a two down player and is a non factor in the passing game. Reminds me of Shaun Alexander, a great runner on first and second down but utterly useless on third and long. One of the most overrated players in the game.

1500 yards a year and only a 2 down back is prettty damn good to me, oh and while hes doing all of this there are 8 or 9 guys loading the box on him to.. yea seems to be over rated to me to]]></description>

Cmon Packer fans , worry about your own team....stop looking for any post that has to do with the Vikings to make some stupid comment.  You all must be worried about something.....like the Vikings beating you this year !  Now that would make this rebuilding season a success !!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Viking fan here.  Perosnally I think they are rushing the guy back too quickly.  Just my two cents.  Hope I&#039;m wrong.

Now for those Viking fans wishing injury on other players, just stop.  You make the rest of us look bad.  No injury is a good injury.

I don&#039;t mind taking jabs at each other.  That&#039;s all in good fun.  But to wish injury on others is not.  I don&#039;t care what team you like or hate.]]></description>

Oh ib pack fan you hurting me and other vikings fans so deep. I like how you packers fans already had last years ring on your finger before the playoffs even started. Lol. Ooops. And i always see packers fans on Vikings posts stirring the pot. Nothing better to do? I enjoy a simpleton trying to seem smart. Just like every Packer fan in the country. #ugotnothin

-------------------------------------------------

Packers-Vikings are rivals...we&#039;re suppose to take jabs at each other...it&#039;s all part of the fun.

But saying that a player injury is equal or better than a win for your team is pretty pathetic.  I cant imagine an AP or Jared Allen injury being better than a Packer win.  Just my opinion.  I never want to see guys get hurt.

As far as last year, I never had Packers wining it all even before the playoffs started...the defense was horrible and continued that throughout the playoffs.  Bummer.  I can still celebrate and enjoy 2010 season and Super Bowl win though...unlike Vikings and their fans.  #ugotnochampionships]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you follow Chris Kluwe on twitter, he&#039;s been on &quot;Operation Adrian Abs&quot; for a while now, and one of his tweets in his quest for a six pack is that he&#039;s been running stairs with AP.

Now if the man is RUNNING UP BLEACHERS-- and outracing another human at that, I think it&#039;s safe to say he&#039;s recovered considering it was an injury to his knee, where all that stress is pounding step after step.

Obviously I&#039;m not a Dr. and turning on a dime might be a bit different-- but still, the idea of tearing your ACL (my father did that like 6 months ago and is still in a boot) and hauling ass up a flight of stairs over and over again on purpose is damned impressive.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rice and Foster are far better than Peterson, can&#039;t believe this guy is hyped so much...

He is only a two down player and is a non factor in the passing game. Reminds me of Shaun Alexander, a great runner on first and second down but utterly useless on third and long. One of the most overrated players in the game.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;AP has been gifted w the healing power of Jesus. He will be better than ever. Jared Allen blowing out Arron Rodgers knee, now thats music to my ears.&quot;

So Aaron Rodgers scares you that much that you wish his knee to be blown out. I don&#039;t like the Vikings, but I have never wished injury upon someone on the team. Adrian Peterson is one of the greats, and I&#039;m glad he&#039;ll be back on the field this year.
