Chip Scoggins of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune caught up with Percy Harvin after an autograph signing Saturday and had a few nuggets to report.
1. As the kiddies say, Harvin is getting swole. He’s added ten pounds of noticeable muscle in the offseason and is up to 207 pounds. He says he’ll play 5-7 pounds lighter.
2. Harvin can’t shake his migraines and probably won’t anytime soon. “It’s off and on,” Harvin said. “Still working them out. Hopefully we’ll
keep working at it. My mom has had them for 30 years. They come here and
there. It’s just something that hopefully I can contain. But I’ve
talked to a lot of doctors. I don’t think there’s too much that can stop
it.”
3. Harvin was non-committal about attending the team’s voluntary offseason conditioning program, which starts Monday: “I talked to coach. I’ll come up and workout a little bit. But we’ll
talk and figure something out.”
he needs to “wake and Bake” with Santonio! That will cure it!!! lol……
And Percy will continue to give the Packers migrains. In a related note, Mr. Favre will continue to give the Packers and Ted Thompson migrains as the Vikes will sweep Favres former team of ingrates again in 2010.
Theres plenty you can do to get rid of the migraines…
He can’t smoke the ganja unfortunately…that’s what helped me rid of my migraines….I feel you Percy, I feel you.
anyways, there are plenty of different techniques to get rid of migraines….used by ancient cultures of chinese/japanese same thing you get the point….
go the natural way!
oh and GO EAGLES.
If the migraines are monthly (which I suspect they are) Midol may help with Percy’s “monthly bill”.
@fedorthechamp
You have no idea how right you are.
I have gotten migraines for the last 35 years, where I’ll go partially blind, followed by an enormous headache.
Smoking reefer helps so much more than any medication, it’s crazy.
Come see me. I’m a Packers diehard, but I can treat you for REALS. Acupuncture school. The Pack will smite you WITH or without. Bring it Percy!
The Nerd will treat you! I’ll even pay. But you’re still not as good as Greg Jennings!
No bullshit dude. I bring the CURE. Liver heat BEGONE!
YO, Justin Harrell, I’ll get rid of that shit too!

Yeah, it’s too bad medicinal marijuana is kept out of the reach of most by those in government of a certain political persuasion, those who ironically claim to hate any government intrusion into their daily lives. Lousy hypocrites!
I am not sure he is allowed to miss voluntary conditioning programs, did he clear that with Brat Favre in advance?
As for his migraines, the other posters are wrong, wacky weed is a viable option, its not like the Vikings are subject to the same set of rules as the rest of the NFL when it comes to testing, they have the state courts on their side.
I would have migraines to if I had to put with the Favre sage!
Personally, I believe this migraine crap is all in Percy’s “head”.
LOL!

You are a fargin icehole. You need to experience the problem you freakin jerk.
He has migraines from our beatdown we gave out on January the 24, 2010.
Harvin is in the NFL’s substance abuse program for illegal drug abuse.
09/24/09 and 9/25-09 – Harvin misses practices again with a mystery illness that the vikings refuse to discuss. No one will say if the illness coincides with the scheduled extra drug testing he is required to undergo due to his prior failed test.
1) 02/22/2009 – Arrives at the NFL combine on drugs with full knowledge and prior warning he would be tested for drug abuse. Tests positive for marijuanna. Placed in NFL’s substance abuse program. The NFL is now spending extra resources monitoring the player.
2) 5/1/2009 – missed rookie practice do to severe dehydration, cause unknown, called in sick.
3) 06/29/2009 – Arrives at the NFL required rookie symposium and then tells medical personnel he is too ill to participate and is sent home.
4) 06/30/09 – Harvin ordered to attend the 2010 rookie symposium. Like the kid that flunked first grade Percy has to attend next year.
5) 07/31/09 – Harvin fails to report to Training Camp on time.
6) 08/04/09 – Harvin’s contract with the Vikings is disapproved by the NFL for rules violations.
7) 08/14/09 – Harvin is “hurt” (shoulder) and misses his first game, the preseason opener.
9) 10/29/09 – Harvin misses practice again due to “illness”.
11) 11/25/09 – Harvin misses practice again with unexplained illness.
12) 12/7/09 to 12/12/09 Harvin misses a whole week of practice and stays away from team facilities for unexplained nonfootball reasons.
13) 12/14/09 – Harvin inactivated and misses a game. He is not missed and Brad Childress doesn’t care.
Harvin’s problems happen on a monthly cycle.
i want to pass this blunt i’m smoking right now to percy miracles
@ JimmySmith: You are absolutely right, the Vikings are above the law and don’t have to play by the same rules as everyone else. And you know what, its freaking awesome.
“And Percy will continue to give the Packers migrains. In a related note, Mr. Favre will continue to give the Packers and Ted Thompson migrains as the Vikes will sweep Favres former team of ingrates again in 2010″.
And Ted Thompson will continue to flip Favre and the purple Zero-Time World Champs a fat middle finger when Favre ends yet another playoff game with an untimely pick with 18 seconds to go. Enjoy that, Gramps. LOL.
Bob, do you have a life?
Look at all the time Bob Nelson puts into writing his posts about Vikings players. He has the dates and everything about what occurs. He must surely love the Vikes. Either that or he is an inbred son of a bitch Packer fan, who isn’t working his shift at McDonalds today so he spends his time trolling on Vikings stories..
FYI, It is common knowledge in the bodybuilding area that you can’t add 10lbs of (pure) muscle naturally in 3-4 months. It would be hard pressed to add that naturally in a year…

I assume this is experience talking because nobody sounds like a sore kitty more than you…maybe that’s why you like former Packer “Blood” McInally so much.
Also, here is one more date for your chronlogy
1/6/2010 – Harvin wins NFC Rookie Of The Year award.
Percy Nugz says: the Vikings are above the law and don’t have to play by the same rules as everyone else. And you know what, its freaking awesome.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ah, another brain-dead Viking fan that doesn’t believe in karma. Nobody likes a cheater, just ask the 18-0 Patriots heading into a Superbowl, or how about last year’s Vikings outgaining the Saints by over 200 yards. Karma is there to level the playing field. Instead of winning the game and heading to a Superbowl, the cheaters do not get the benefit of the PI calls in OT and head home for the year. Cheat all you want, you will never win a championship, and to rest of us, that is freaking awesome.
How about this one ,eventhough Vikings double
Saints offensive output they still can’t win that first Superbowl.Add another best team to NOTwin the Superbowl trophy to that trophy case full of those!

These sad Packer trolls are the real life versions of Patton Oswalt’s character from the movie Big Fan.

Make up your mind, slapnutz.
Do the Vikings lose because they cheat and karma catches up with them or because they are an incomptent organization. You blow back and forth on this topic like you do when the Village People come to Wisconsin and you have choose between the Construction Worker and the Indian.
In either case, why is it that the Packers lost twice to the Vikings last year — because the Packers are more incompentent or that they have done something worse.
Either way, the two losses are friggin awesome….
Harvin will show up when he decides if he wants to play another year or not.
Vikings fans can get off whatever ‘clever, funny shots’ they want.
But, the ‘no SB trophies in 44 tries shots’ will always trump whatever clever remarks you make.
You may have a great season going, leading a division, 10 possible pro-bowlers, but it means nothing until you get a ring.
So until you get a ring, you are irrelevant. Christ, even the freakin Saints have one now.
You guys are wallowing in the mud with the Browns, Lions, Cardinals, Bengals, etc.
Maybe one day you can get off the porch and run with the big boys, but it’s not going to happen if you try to jump start your program with the geritrol crowd.
Why is this news? Is he the only player in the NFL with migraines, or is this simply an attempt to forewarn everyone by providing a ready-made reason for “burning rope” when he next (inevitably) gets caught?
wow nothing means nothing till you get the ring? what kind of childhood did you have. or are you still a child. maybe there is still hope for you.

If that was your team administering a beatdown, then your team just isn’t all that impressive. The Vikings fumbled six times, losing three of them and were picked off twice by your defense, yet you were tied with the Vikings at the end of regulation and needed some help from the officials in OT to barely eke out a three point win. So that is what you call a beatdown?
Sheesh.
I actually feel bad for the guy as I have bad migraines and it is absolutely killer.
I mean….killer
You can’t move, think, or do anything when they hit
I remember Terrel Davis playing in the superbowl with a migraine suck it up pussy
