Vikings first-round draft pick Percy Harvin was admitted to a hospital in Atlanta on Thursday with a case of "extreme dehydration and a virus," according to coach Brad Childress, who addressed the media after Friday's first rookie minicamp practice. Childress said Harvin vomited in the airport in Atlanta on Thursday before he was admitted to a hospital by ambulance. Harvin is expected to be released this weekend, Childress said. The star receiver was on his way to Minneapolis from Florida for the minicamp, and he had a connecting flight in Atlanta. Harvin tested negative for the H1N1 virus of swine origin, Childress said.

Cottonmouth is a symptom of dehydration.

Real question should be how was the party that he went to and how much did he have to drink.

Yet another major Brain Fart by the Vikes front Office. We got Devin Hester's offspring. Sorry Bears fans but i hope he turns out to be a better reciever. Heck i hope they can figure out.....should we put him at Slot......maybe running back.......maybe reciever......what the heck maybe corner or will he blow a knee in a worthless preseason game while returning a punt. he's going to have so many off field issues that it probably won't matter.
