Percy Harvin Has Been Located

With the Vikings set to learn a new offense under Bill Musgrave and WR Sidney Rice currently unsigned, it would do well for expected starter Christian Ponder to spend some time with WR Percy Harvin. So far, it hasn't worked out. From ESPN 1500:

Percy Harvin has been located.

A week after missing a microcamp with his new quarterback because he allegedly lost his cell phone, the Minnesota Vikings' leading receiver was in Sioux Falls, S.D., on Thursday for a charity banquet and told KELO-TV he may be seeing Christian Ponder soon.

Based on past experience, it wouldn't seem like Harvin is eager to join any offseason workouts either:

Harvin's absence wasn't entirely a surprise, even though he went to college at the University of Florida -- Ponder went to Florida State -- and does most of his offseason training in the state. He missed more than 40 practices last season because of a variety of issues and didn't come to the Vikings' organized team activity practices last spring either.

Lots of players don't care much for the offseason activities, which are often voluntary but in recent years had nearly complete attendance, so this isn't a big problem. But he's not been a major asset either.

Percy Harven

Just seems to me that Percy does not care about winning as much as receiving a paycheck. If the players were on strike I’ll wager a bet that he would be one of the first scabs to cross the picket line. I’ll take Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings or Donald Driver any day. They show up to mini-camps and have a winners attitude.

Just reading it...

I lost my phone once. You can call your cell phone company to locate the phone if it has GPS.

Yeah, I just lost my phone today somewhere near the Golden Gate Bridge

It sucks. I actually have a little sympathy for Harvin, though that excuse was probably total BS. The reason I haven’t gotten a new one is because I’m hitchhiking, and about 2000 miles from home, and no idea where a cellular store is. I somehow doubt Harvin was in a similar situation.

…or if you are making millions a year you can just go buy another one without batting an eye.

I know how to locate Percy Harvin

Take two puffs and pass. (Got that little bit of advice from Redman, but I think it might work on Harvin).

Not true at all

Ricky Williams will show up first and end the joint before Harvin can even smell it.

Harvin is a beast

Even Charles Woodson thinks Percy will be one of the best wide receivers in the league.

microcamp

Is that what they’re calling these player-organized workouts?

"It's a great day to be great, baby!"

and they ask me to pick up a piece of paper.
You call that job satisfaction?
'Cause, I don't."
