Have you seen the Test Thread?
We have never spoken of scrapple.
Have you seen the Test Thread?
Does this guy seriously think that anything he does even has the slightest chance of affecting anything the team does?
One would think Petersen would know more about whether he was going to be a pursuit of the Cowboys without some day dreamer tweeting him to let him know how his life was about to change in the NFL.
One would think, but this is the all powerful, ever connected Hos we are talking about. He has ways of making things happen that you don't even know about yet.
Just for grins I pulled up a @AdrianPeterson timeline on tweetdeck, he's getting a mention from fans couple times every minute. Seriously doubt he even noticed the tweet from a nobody like Hos
Once AP becomes an Own poster like Lebron, you will understand the true power of the Hos side.

Hostile said:Please keep this on this forum only.
First of all let me point out some circumstantial evidence. No one high up on the Cowboys is talking. If they are talking they do not mention Adrian Peterson. Other than a tweet when he was reinstated, no one from the Vikings has mentioned him either. Ask yourself why.
Simple answer...if news of a deal leaks it will cause all kinds of headaches that neither team needs or wants. They are purposely trying to keep this quiet so there is no added pressure.
There are certain guys who talk to me. At times when they have to keep stuff quiet and I ask questions, they go completely silent. By not telling me anything, they tell me I'm not far off. These particular guys are sure being quiet right now about my pointed questions. It tells me there is something going on. Have no fear, other people are talking.
I already told you that Ben Dogra was given permission to negotiate a contract in an effort to facilitate a trade. Period. Point. Blank. No team was or is going to trade for Peterson with that contract number, and they never were. Common sense tells you this. The DFW media (and some bloggers) fretting over his number was and is ridiculous.
New bit of news from me that to my knowledge is not out there anywhere and should stay here. I can confirm for you that Adrian Peterson, or his agent, upon contacting the Dallas Cowboys AFTER being given permission to do so (thus avoiding tampering charges), did in fact tell the Cowboys they would negotiate a new deal in order to come here. I was further told that if he is traded it will be to Dallas, and only Dallas. Forget the Raiders, Cardinals, and Jaguars stuff. Remember when I told you he was only going to negotiate with us? I was right. They have not contacted other teams at this point, because there is no need to.
Are you excited yet?
If you are then you're being a little premature. I have more. I repeat for the third time please let this info stay on this forum. Tonight I was told that a deal in principle for a new contract has been reached.
Note the words "in principle." Folks, this could all still fall apart. I don't think it will though.
The inevitable question following that bit of news is how much? I am told it is $8 million a year for 3 years. No idea on guaranteed money. I do not know how accurate this is yet. Only one person is sharing that with me right now.
Okay, so this begs the question. What's it going to cost to get him away from the Vikings?
Do you remember when Bryan Broaddus said he heard our offer was this year's 2nd and 3rd? I am hearing that may have been real. I also hear that is off the table. If it is, I hate to say this, but it probably means we are sending pick #27 to Minnesota for Peterson. I'd rather not, but I won't care if we win a Super Bowl, and I think this makes us the easy favorite to do so if we pull this off.
I was told earlier today, and I think I shared it here. The Vikings are going to make one big final push to get him back before they make any deal. I do not know as of right now when this is going to happen, but once again there will be a meeting with Peterson and Vikings brass.
Prediction...he is not going to change his mind.
If he does, I was told tonight to not be shocked if our pick at 27 is Tevin Coleman of Indiana. So for those of you rooting for him over Peterson, do your voodoo. Why him? The brass believe Gurley and Gordon are gone before we pick and this is the guy they will take after his 4.35 time at his pro day. He reminds me of Murray. It makes some sense.
Now, what does this mean for the news I have shared with you about Marinelli's passion for O-diggy? I suspect it means if we truly want him we will have to replicate the DeMarcus Lawrence deal of last year and package the picks we intended to use on Peterson to get him. Not saying that happens. Just that it isn't beyond the realm.
Yep, move me to 90%.
wonder if jerruh threw in Jason Ferguson

Hostile said:I said from the word go that Murray was my number one TB option I wanted.
I think Peterson, for cheaper than Murray is a coup, even if it costs a pick to acquire him. Murray was better last year. That is the only time in his career that he ever will be, and had Peterson not been suspended who is to say it wouldn't have been a really tight race? I can't. Peterson is a rare talent that I can't ignore.
Hostile said:That is fair.
Let me ask you this. With Peterson on board after signing Hardy and our other moves, do you see us as the Super Bowl favorite in the NFC? I do.
Now, would you with Murray instead of him? That is where I am iffy.
To me this is a go for it move. That is why I like it so much.
Angus12 said:Pardon my ignorance, but these two posts have left me confused. If you think Peterson makes us the Superbowl favorites and you're iffy if Murray would, why would you have rather kept Murray?
Hostile said:I genuinely like him as a person and a player.
I now know why Hos had the outlandish prediction Coleman at 27 for us. Eatman released a mock yesterday with us taking Coleman in the first. First mock I have seen with him going in the first. Maybe Eatman is Hos' source?
