Harvin Collapses, Taken in Ambulance

In an alarming series of events for Percy Harvin and the Minnesota Vikings, the dynamic second-year receiver vomited and collapsed this afternoon while watching practice at the team's practice facility. The team's medical staff tended to him until an ambulance with an EMT arrived, at which point the team stopped practice and watched the authorities care for Harvin. Once inside the ambulance, the Vikings held a prayer on the field for #12.

Harvin has been riddled all training camp by migraines, and this is the very frightening climax of those troubles. He was scheduled to address the media today for the first time in nearly three weeks. The only bright side to this is that it is not a sudden and unexplainable happenstance. Harvin has suffered from severe migraines since he was 10 years old, and he missed several practices and one game last season due to similar types of symptoms. He said some of the more severe symptoms that arise from his migraines are vomiting and loss of vision.

All ill feelings for the Vikings and Brett Favre aside, I definitely wish a hasty recovery to Percy Harvin. Just because he drives me crazy on the field with his big plays to put Minnesota in winning positions doesn't mean I'd ever wish anything bad upon the kid. He goes out and does his job, works hard. Definitely one of the Vikings that I like. There aren't many of them. But I like the kid. Hopefully he's able to get back to full health and quickly reassume his football life once again.
