took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Lawrence Timmons early i

• MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson was a victim, not the aggressor, during an altercation with authorities that led to his arrest at a Houston night club over the weekend, his attorney said Monday. Authentic Peyton Manning Jersey . Peterson, a Texas native who makes his off-season home in Houston, was arrested and taken to jail early Saturday morning and charged with resisting arrest, a misdemeanour. Police said he pushed an off-duty police officer who was working security at the club. An initial court appearance is set for Friday. Petersons attorney, Rusty Hardin, called the charge and the allegation that he shoved the officer "a total fabrication." "He, in fact, was struck at least twice in the face for absolutely no legitimate reason, and when all the evidence is impartially reviewed, it will clearly show Adrian was the victim, not the aggressor," Hardin said in a statement. Houston police declined comment on the details. "Its now a matter for the courts," police spokesman Kese Smith said. Hardin said the Bayou Club owes Peterson an apology after comments from a manager surfaced alleging that Peterson was drunk, unruly and disrespectful to security officers trying to get him to leave at closing time. "He was only in that club for 30 to 40 minutes, was never objectionable to other patrons, and never physically resisted any police officer," Hardin said. "Adrian is extremely upset about these false allegations. These charges are totally at odds with the way he has conducted himself throughout his career, and he asks that his fans and the public at large reserve judgment until they hear all the facts." Aside from the occasional speeding ticket, Peterson has been a model citizen ever since he was drafted by the Vikings in 2007. On a team that has often struggled with players getting arrested or causing trouble off the field, Peterson has taken pride in conducting himself with dignity and representing the franchise in a positive light. "Thank you for waiting for the facts," Peterson tweeted on Sunday. "Truth will surface." Peterson has been one of the most dynamic players in the NFL over the last five years and is rehabbing a torn ACL in his left knee in hopes of being ready for the start of the upcoming season. Hardin represented Roger Clemens in his recent perjury case. Clemens was charged with lying to Congress when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs. He was retried this year and found not guilty on all counts. Authentic Wes Welker Jersey .

The New York Jets All-Pro cornerback still isnt sure, though, if hell be back in uniform for the teams next game at Miami. "Im going through the tests and things" Revis said Monday, "and doing what I need to get back and help my team." And the Jets sure could use him after they lost 27-10 to the Pittsburgh Steelers, with the AFC East-rival Dolphins up next. Revis suffered what the team called a "minor concussion" last Sunday in the season opener against Buffalo when he made a diving attempt to tackle the Bills C.J. Spiller and then teammate Bart Scott accidentally kicked him in the head. He said he felt as though he was in "a fog" after he was first hurt, but has gotten progressively better since. He was cleared to participate in non-contact drills Friday, but ruled out for the game. He had been limited to light running and lifting weights earlier in the week. "I feel good," he said. "I feel pretty good. The only way we can figure it out is the things that Im doing test-wise, what the doctors are putting me through. From those results, theyre showing up great, and Ive just got to keep on passing those tests and move forward." Revis needs to be cleared by the team physician and an independent neurological consultant in order to first practice with full contact and then play. Because of the NFL protocol for players with head injuries, coach Rex Ryan cant definitely say hell have Revis back in his secondary on Sunday. "I dont think you can assume that," Ryan said. "He has to -- to the NFL standards -- pass those tests right now. He looks to be doing well, so hopefully he will be playing." The teams characterization of the concussion as "minor" didnt matter to Revis, who is hoping to feel 100 per cent soon. "Any blow to the head, you have to take it serious," he said, adding that he never experienced any sensitivity to light or other usual side effects. "Mild, seveere, whatever it could be, its still a head injury and thats how youve got to look at it. Broncos Womens Jerseys. quot; Revis said one day of the testing might be better tha
