Last Friday, Percy Harvin was traded. AGAIN. This time from the Seattle Seahawks to the New York Jets, and of course this is going to work out well for him, for sure. I mean, if you can’t get along with that pot smoking hippy Pete Carrol, then for sure you’re going to thrive with Geno Smith throwing you the ball. Best of luck, bro.
You know what? I’m still a Percy Harvin apologist. He’s a total asshole, and probably would have murdered someone before he ever got the Vikings to the Super Bowl, but sometimes when it’s your own asshole, no matter our awful it is, you love it best, you know?
Regardless, the Vikings came out OK thanks to the original Percy Harvin trade. In the trade, the received a first round pick (which turned into CB Xavier Rhodes, who’s has shown his career has potential so far), an offensive linemen that didn’t pan out with their seventh round pick, and running back Jerick McKinnon, who is now basically Adrian Peterson. All for Percy Harvin and his headaches. OK!
As much as we give shit to Rick Spielman for being a waffling pussy willow when it comes to hard lined discipline and displays of a plan for the team (Or, more simply, for not know what the f*ck he’s doing), you got to admit he came out on top of this one:
The Seahawks will end up getting a single sixth round pick (which could potentially become a fourth round pick, but, come on) for their trade. I don’t want to say this is Herschel Walker or anything, but it totally is.
I wish Percy wasn’t such a shit head, that his immense talent could be used for the forces of good, and he would have helped the Vikings be an awesome team, but that didn’t happen. Nor will it ever, for anyone basically. So, because of that, the Vikings probably did as well as they could in the ordeal, even though a piece of me is still mad about it.
Imagine Percy and Adrian smoking weed these days? It’d be so cool.
