EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Wholesale Authentic Jerseys . -- When Adrian Peterson was talking with his teammates about which quarterbacks the Minnesota Vikings could acquire, Sam Bradfords name wasnt on the list. One could also assume Bradford wasnt one of the suggestions Peterson texted to general manager Rick Spielman, simply because he didnt think his former University of Oklahoma teammate would be available.I didnt see that coming, Peterson said. We knew he was down in Philadelphia, and (we) didnt see that happening. I tip my hat to our GM, Rick Spielman. He did a great job of bringing a guy in that can contribute.The Vikings still havent said whether it will be Bradford or Shaun Hill starting for the team on Sunday in the regular-season opener against Tennessee, but after the Vikings sent a 2017 first-round pick and a conditional fourth-rounder to the Eagles for Bradford on Saturday, it isnt hard to surmise the quarterback will be on the field soon. Peterson found out the news while he was in Houston, watching his alma mater play the University of Houston on Saturday. When a reporter told him the Vikings had acquired Bradford, Peterson said his initial reaction was excitement.Theyre looking out for the best interests of this team, Peterson said. We have faith in Shaun and what hes able to bring, as well, but its always good to have another guy that can contribute and is talented.After the Vikings lost Teddy Bridgewater to a dislocated left knee and torn ACL Aug. 30, Peterson was one of several players to visit the quarterback in the hospital that night. After what the running back called an emotional roller coaster of a week, the Vikings attention turned to finding help at quarterback, which is when Peterson texted Spielman.Im always trying to be in the mix and give my opinion on guys I think you should bring in, Peterson said. He told me, Hey, were going to do whats best for the team. Thats the last thing you have to worry about. Im like, Alright, I know you guys are going to do that, based off what you guys have done here the last couple years, drafting guys and bringing guys in as well. I left it at that, and he proved to be telling the truth.The running back remembered Bradford as a quiet redshirt freshman who didnt say too much at the University of Oklahoma, but Bradfords arm strength quickly stood out to Peterson, to the point he was hoping Bradford would be the starting quarterback during the 2006 season (Petersons last with the Sooners).He looks young now, but he looked like a little kid then, Peterson said. I remember watching him and seeing him throw in practice, and I knew he was going to be good. I wish they could have put him out there for my last year to help us out a little bit. They didnt do it, but it worked out for him there at Oklahoma. He had a great career.The Vikings will use their 12th different starting quarterback in Petersons 10 years with the team on Sunday against the Titans, and Petersons presence figures to be a big part of the teams game plan as the Vikings break in their new quarterback.He had just 10 carries for 31 yards in the Vikings season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers last year, and looking back on it Thursday, Peterson recalled his conditioning wasnt as sharp as he needed it to be before the 2015 opener. He ran a series of sprints before the Vikings next game against the Detroit Lions, during which he carried 29 times for 134 yards and gained another 58 yards on two catches. This year, Peterson said, his conditioning is where he wants it to be -- and he offered what sounded like a slogan that played off his nickname.Thats the big difference going into this week, he said. My legs are fresh. Ive been making sure that Ive been getting my conditioning in. So Ill be ready to run all day.

Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. http://www.cheapnfljerseysstore.us/ . Wilson hit Schenn from behind during Tuesday nights game in Philadelphia, earning a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct. He has a phone hearing with the department of player safety, which limits any potential suspension to five or fewer games. Despite everything that Serena Williams has won and done, her sense of self can still fluctuate based on the outcome of a particular match.Doesnt always seem to matter that she owns a record-tying 22 major singles titles heading into the U.S. Open, which begins Monday with a retractable roof at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the first time.Not necessarily a big deal to her that shes spent the past 3+ years entrenched at No. 1 and is the oldest woman ever to top the WTA rankings.And there are times when the 34-year-old American basically forgets that she transcends her sport and has become a cultural icon away from the tennis court.Williams is devastated when she is dealt a setback, such as last years Did that really happen?! loss to Roberta Vinci in the U.S. Open semifinals, ending an attention-grabbing, pressure-piling bid for the first calendar-year Grand Slam by anyone in more than a quarter-century. Williams acknowledges she measures herself constantly.Unfortunately, I definitely do, which I dont think is normal. I definitely feel like when I lose, I dont feel as good about myself, she said.But then I have to, like, remind myself that: `You are Serena Williams! You know? Like, `Are you kidding me? Williams continued, laughing and leaning forward. And its those moments that I have to just, like, come off and be like, `Serena, do you know what youve done? Who you are? What you continue to do, not only in tennis, (but also) off the court? Like, youre awesome. That really just shows the human side of me. Im not a robot.She is at the stage of her career where history is in the offing nearly every time a racket is in her right hand. So while the stakes are different from what they were at Flushing Meadows in 2015, Williams does have something significant to play for yet again.After equaling Steffi Graf for the most Grand Slam titles in the professional era (which dates to 1968) by winning Wimbledon last month, Williams now can break that tie by earning No. 23 in New York. Only Margaret Court owns more major singles trophies, with 24, but more than half of that total came against amateur competition.Not that Williams was immediately ready to think about topping Graf after pulling even with her at the All England Club.One thing I learned about last year is to enjoy the moment, Williams said. Im definiteely going to enjoy this. Wholesale NFL Gear. Good thing, too, because not everything has gone smoothly since that most recent triumph. Slowed by a bothersome right shoulder, Williams lost in the third round of singles and first round of doubles at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics -- she was a 2012 gold medalist in both events -- and then pulled out of a hard-court tuneup event in Ohio.Williams is assured of remaining at No. 1 until the end of the U.S. Open, which will bring her current streak to 186 weeks in a row, tying another mark held by Graf. Depending on what happens in the tournament, Williams could be overtaken in the rankings by No. 2 Angelique Kerber (who beat Williams in the Australian Open final in January), No. 3 Garbine Muguruza (who beat Williams in the French Open final in June) or No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska.Its definitely intriguing, Roger Federer said about tracking the women vying for No. 1. Its nice to see this race.Federer, who won five of his mens record 17 Grand Slam titles in New York, will be sitting out the U.S. Open for the first time since 1999 as he takes the rest of the season off to let his left knee heal. A year ago, Federer lost in the final at Flushing Meadows to Novak Djokovic. In Federers mind, the top-ranked Djokovic is the favorite this time, even though No. 2 Andy Murrays summer has been phenomenal.One reason: Federer thinks the installation of the new $150 million roof at the main arena will limit the wind even when its open, which will help Djokovic.Not too long ago, Djokovic appeared to be close to unbeatable no matter the surface or conditions, and a buzz was building about whether he could chase a true Grand Slam. But he exited Wimbledon in the third round, then the Olympics in the first round, while Murray won both of those titles.Novak, obviously, the last two years, really, has played amazing tennis. His consistency -- what Ive done for, like, the last four months, hes been doing for, like, the whole year, Murray said. So I need to try and keep that going, and the U.S. Open is always the next big goal.---AP Sports Writer Rachel Cohen contributed to this report.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich White NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale Stitched Jerseys Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Outlet Black China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2020 NFL Jerseys Outlet Youth NFL Jerseys Cheap Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys From China Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys NFL Cheap ' ' '
