EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson says his back injury is "not a big deal," meaning he should play Sunday against San Francisco. Peterson was limited in practice on Wednesday because of the injury. He rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown last week against Detroit, and leads the NFL in rushing heading into the Vikings' home opener against the 49ers. Starting middle linebacker E.J. Henderson missed practice Wednesday because of a shoulder injury. Defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said Thursday he believes Henderson will be fine. Henderson leads the team with 17 tackles this season after missing most of last year with a foot injury.
[h2]'Mount Pain' and 'The Catch' get segments on ESPN this weekend[/h2]

After years of irrelevance, the 49ers are getting noticed again. There are two 49ers-themed reports scheduled for the "Sunday NFL Countdown" on ESPN this weekend.
The show begins at 8 a.m. PT on Sunday. Here are the descriptions of the 49ers segments, as provided by ESPN:
The Hill: The 2-0 start by the 49ers can be traced back to the off-season when new head coach Mike Singletary ordered 2,500 tons of dirt and had a 45-foot hill built as part of the team's new conditioning program. Trent Dilfer visits with Singletary and his players as they discuss the benefit of what they call "Mount Pain" and "Hamstring Hill."
Mayne Event: The Catch: Some 49ers' greats of the past still feel they have yet to get the credit they deserve for their roles in "The Catch" - the historic throw and catch from quarterback Joe Montana to Dwight Clark late in the fourth quarter of the 1982 NFC Championship (Cowboys at 49ers). In this week's "Mayne Event," Kenny Mayne tells the story of the catch through the eyes and memories of these 49ers' greats.

I'm 100% sure that was directed towards me and I didn't say we simply let him go ... if we trade him by the deadline then cool.
Back to Dlands comment on me saying it was a mistake, yes it was a mistake because imagine how much moreour defense would have been if we drafted a player lets say like Orakpo - build around the D and we're loaded.
Take it for what its worth, each fan has their own opinion on how the team they root for should be ran.
It was a no brainer pick at the time no one knew dude would be an idiot.
False.
Going into the draft that was his biggest knock.

What's Graham Harrell up too?

According to Pro Football Weekly, there are five highly regarded prospects who have raised serious red flags to five "high-level league executives" they polled: Percy Harvin, Michael Crabtree, Rey Maualuga, Vontae Davis, and B.J. Raji. And they aren't just a little scared of drafting these guys.
http://One top-ranking official, who said he would not draft any of them, compared the exercise to trying to decide between whether he'd rather eat cow manure, drink monkey urine or ingest rabbit turds.

[h2]Crabtree's prima donna stance turning teams away[/h2]
According to Jim Thomas (St. Louis Post-Dispatch), Texas tech WR Michael Crabtree may have put off several potential suitors with his poor attitude during pre-draft interviews, and could slide into the bottom half of the top ten picks as a result. Thomas is fairly certain that neither the Rams or the Browns are seriously considering Crabtree right now and he has his doubts about Seattle as well.
This does not bode well for Crabtree's chances to be selected high in round one, and it's looking more and more likely that he will be available when Al Davis and the Raiders are on the clock tomorrow afternoon. That would have to be a dream scenario for Raider Nation and the team's front office alike, as Crabtree would immediately give Oakland the premier receiving threat they need to take their offense to the next level.
Then again, this is the same kind of thing we hear every year, as teams are doing their best to one up each other with gamesmanship to keep their draft strategy a secret for as long as humanly possible, so take it for what it's worth. Still, the fact that two seperate teams have come forward with a similar outlook on Crabtree's attitude speaks volumes as to how teams may feel about drafting him so high, and he could slip somewhat as a result.
At any rate, he'll still be selected in the top ten, and will be extrordinarily rich by this time on Sunday, so it's doubtful that he is concerned at the moment. We'll keep an eye on this and all the other news around the league as it breaks, so keep it locked right here all weekend long.
I mean that's just really a glimpse of it, but I remember many analysts putting his character in play due to the people he surrounded himself and of coursethere is a reason why people say he was the #1 ranked prospect but yet fell to #10.
We can go on and on about it, as of today Michael Crabtree isn't a 49er - he hasn't practiced with the team, he's been injured and the team mustthink little of him because he isn't out there with them while they're battling it out.
