No sour griping here. Harvin didn’t want to play in Minnesota any longer. Seahawks going all in and give up valuable draft picks to close that 30 second gap in last years playoff game. Hope another ex Viking can contribute. Also hoping last years and soon to be this years good draft pickings pay huge dividends in the near future for the Vikings. SKOL VIKES!

What a great signing for the Hawks. this acquisition totally transforms the Seattle offense!! (if Harvin can stay healthy)

Tomorrow: Peterson wants out of Minnesota

Day after: Christian Ponder wants out.

I’m a huge Percy fan and a bit annoyed I bought his Jersey now. I think he is the best all around player in the NFL. However, he suffers from migrains and is a bit injury prone. Both of those are reasons he misses practices and it shows on the field. He has too many penalties. Being lined-up in the wrong place, illegal procedures and unsportsmanlike conduct.

Is anyone surprised that the Viking fans who assured us that Percy isn’t going anywhere are now telling us that Adrian Peterson has no idea how lucky he is to be rid of such a malcontent?

This just gives AD more motivation to train even harder this offseason, not that he needs it! We all know this guy is a class act and can accomplish anything he sets his mind to, lookout NFL, AD has another chip on his shoulder! He will be breaking the NFL rushing record and carrying the Vikings deep into the playoffs, it wouldn’t have mattered if Percy the bi-polar migraine was on the team or not! We got a great deal in the trade and am confident the Vikings will shore up the WR position. I mean, there is no way our WR’s could be any worse than the last few years is there?!

Well Seattle I hope he’s worth it and doesn’t get injury prone like the Rice trade.

As for AP. He’s a team player and this a hard blow to take. However, if Percy was active all season Peterson would have fell way short of 2,000 yards

Percy deserved a lot more than he was receiving in Minnesota. Does anyone realize while only playing eight games he was still the leader in receptions and rec yards at the end of the season? Seattle got the bargain here.

No Adrian, having Christian Ponder QB’ing your offense equals 20 kicks to the stomach vs. losing a headcase for a WR to Seattle.

This is a really good fit for the Seahawks. Pete Carroll runs the place loose like a college campus scenario with lots of rah-rah and emotion. Harvin wasn’t comfortable with the Vikings more formal and character first setting. The Vikes really need to get Greg Jennings and draft a WR as well. Right now we’re the worst receiving corps in the league. We shall see.

Lol Fitzgerald doesn’t wanna go to Minnesota. He already has an idiot for a QB in Arizona. He’d rather be traded to a winner.

Seriously, we have wasted AD’s career! I can’t believe we are giving Zygi a free stadium… Pathetic.

And this tweet just shows how humble Peterson is because according to most anyone’s opinion, Peterson is a better player than Harvin. Much respect

Isn’t his pal Sidney Rice in Seattle? What’s Pete Carroll trying to do? Build a Super Bowl Championship team?

I would have loved to have seen Harvin’s attitude change and for him to have wanted to be here in Minnesota. But the fact is, he wanted out. There was no chance that he was going to resign with the Vikings when he would have hit free agency after this season. Franchising him after this year wasn’t going to be an option either because of the price tag. So instead, they managed to get a first round pick (not to mention a seventh and a mid round pick next year) for a guy they weren’t going to be able to keep and who would probably have been a hold out and a headache this season. No matter how you cut it, this was a great deal for the Vikings. Better than I bet they even thought they would ever get. And if he is healthy and “happy”, Seattle will have made out good on the deal as well. I honestly think the Vikings got a first rounder out of Seattle only because Seattle was afraid San Fransisco was after him as well.

With the way the niners secondary nails people with headshots and never get flagged for it I.e. entire Superbowl this guy will be the one goodell is fearing for the life of. Twice a year means this will be his only and last season in Seattle. You know how loud it is there his brain can’t take that punishment either.

A.D. knows this player well. Hawks have to be happy that former teammate is upset with trade. Perhaps the only issue has been his being recently hurt, disgruntled with his team and wanting to be paid more. Sounds like many other NFL players. Not many have countered what AD was saying about his Talent, though. When the games starts, thats’ all that matters.

Go Seahaws!

I guess getting metaphorically kicked in the stomach is better than getting a weight-plate thrown at you (like Harvin threw at Chilly).

Kind of funny watching the Vikings fans try and tell AP that losing Harvin is no big deal…

Percy’s migraine issues were pretty bad, but he’s addressed his sleep apnea and it has certainly helped. The one concern I’d have as a Seahawks fan, is that some of Percy’s more intense migraines were brought on by tracking the ball against a grey, overcast sky (google it).

I wish the ‘hawks all the best. A commenter said something about “sour grapes” from Vikes fans. He’s pretty far from having any idea of where we’re at today. It was a good trade. We received 3 picks, including a first rounder, for a guy we got 4 years out of and who everyone knew wanted out of Minnesota. We’re feeling pretty alright – and we wish you all the best.

I hate the Vikings. I really do. But you asshammers getting all over Peterson need to get a grip… on something besides your little-boyhood. The man is clearly one of the best of all time, and other than the “modern day slavery” nonsense during the lockout has proven to be a class act.

Harvin is like stephon Marbury. Peterson is like Kevin Garnett. Both great talents but Garnett was the real team player. Wolves were far better off with Garnett than taking a chance on Marbury, and I think Peterson is the right way to go. Harvin brought that offense down with his attitude. did the vikings even bring him home from that game against seattle?

It’s also similar to moss being traded, but Harvin is nowhere near as established as moss was when he was traded, but probably just as talented.

It would’ve been better if he said he felt like he got kicked in the head and now he knows what it’s like to “feel Percy’s pain”.
