MANKATO, Minn. (AP) -Tiger Woods is a role model for golfers of all ages across the world. It turns out he's also an inspiration to NFL kickers. Minnesota Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell lives in the same Florida neighborhood as Woods, and the football player says he took a page from the golfer's relentless workout regimen to get ready for his 11th season in the NFL. ``I would just kind of watch him and watch what he does and talk to him on the range a little bit,'' Longwell said after a practice at traini |

MANKATO, Minn. (AP) -Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Adrian Peterson left Thursday's practice with an injury after taking an elbow to his hip while catching a pass in a drill, but he said it wasn't serious. ``It's not a big deal at all,'' said Peterson, who called the injury a minor hip pointer. Peterson missed the first five practices of training camp before signing on Sunday a five-year, $40.5 million contract that includes $17 million guaranteed.

The beloved assistant, just 35 years old, endeared himself to players with an infectious enthusiasm and a s |

MANKATO, Minn. (AP) -Adrian Peterson already is the biggest star on the Minnesota Vikings offense. So it's no wonder that the team can't wait to see him finally take the field at training camp on Monday.
