This has always put a tremendous amount of strain on tissue and finally, it tore. This condition has also limited many muscles that have never been used. When they fixed the Labrum, the tissue not only had to heal, but the full range ball and socked triggered muscle use that had normally stayed dormant and that is why his hip was swelling even though there was nothing structurally wrong. The Hawks wanted to give his body time to adjust to his new found muscle tissue which had again, stayed dormant his entire life and now he has even more power. He is not only as fast as he ever was, but now he is fully healed and is fully prepared for physical contact. All week players (Especially from our secondary) have been tweeting how he is "unbelievable" and at times leaving them in the dust. For Richard Sherman to say that if he beats him with one step, it is over is astonishing. Sherman (and his uber competitiveness) never gives props to individual receivers. Go ahead and stick your head in the sand all you want about Harvin, you won't be laughing Saturday!!
Who's sticking their head in the sand? I never said Harvin isn't a good player.

But for anybody to call him "the best football player I've ever seen" is a completely dumb statement. He's nowhere near the top of the league in terms of best WRs.

A "dumb statement" by his teammate for almost all of his professional career and perhaps the greatest NFL running back in history? I can't think of someone to better attest than Peterson. You guys have a great board and fan base but I am baffled by the Harvin comments.

Anyways, it sucks one of our teams has to lose and go home (Of course for us it would be a short trip). I love the buildup to the game and yet now all the marbles are on the line.

This is a bigger game for you than it is for us. We are playing with 'house' money, if we lose its expected. If your team loses that door starts closing up. You guys are going to have some large contracts to payout soon.

Yes, I would say so. AP is extraordinarily talented, I don't think anyone would say otherwise.

Please don't tell me you think Harvin is on the level of Megatron, AJ Green, or any of those guys. Heck, Harvin hasn't even had a better career than Marques Colston.

Yet AP says he's better than all of them?
