Well, this situation is surely worsening and has truly become a concern or at least a nuisance (caused me to bump him down 10 spots last night in my receiver rankings: http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/cgi-bin/theGridiron/YaBB.cgi?board=55;a ction=display;num=1280628196)... It seems as though Harvin is wanting Brett Favre treatment. You knew someone on the team was eventually going to pull this. The thing many are missing, though, is that Favre has kind of earned it. This kind of treatment is a privilege you earn, something hard to comprehend in this "hand-it-to-me", "what-he's-got-I-deserve" society that we live in, which mind you is not to say that Favre has gone about everything ideally... At the very least he is neglecting his role as role model! Anyway, the report on Harvin from "The REAL Feed":
Reports: Vikings give WR Harvin deadline to report
CBS SportsLine.com NFL News (13.08.2010 23:38)
The Minnesota Vikings-Percy Harvin situation took another odd turn when the club sent Harvin a 'five-day letter,' according to several media outlets.

Uh-oh... Rice injury becoming a plague... Currently atop "The REAL Feed":

NFL.com (24.08.2010 10:12)
The Minnesota Vikings could be without Pro Bowl wide receiver Sidney Rice, their top pass catcher from the 2009 season, for at least the first half of this season, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Tuesday.

Slightly overstated yes. But even in the article itself, Percy Harvin is quoted as saying, "It is a blessing." Considering what he has gone through with the migranes, I think sleep apnea is not too bad. It is a treatable condition that millions of Americans live with and is VERY treatable.
A few of my family members have sleep apnea and they have all indicated that once you get used to the mask(it can take a few weeeks), you feel a LOT better.
