The New York Jets' newest wide receiver doesn't deny he has had some issues. But he also wants to be judged from what he does starting now, not just his checkered past.
The Jets don't cast out talent lightly. They hurl it with great abandon. Harvin is quite talented. But it appears he's even more tormented. And that's probably the part the Jets find more appealing, no matter how appalling.
The Bills had little choice but to try a pass from the 2-yard line with 1 second left in the game. Their top two running backs had been carted off the field in the first half.
Unless Geno Smith has truly turned himself around, the mouthy Percy Harvin will yap so hard that Rex Ryan will look back at Santonio Holmes' last year here as the good old days.
The Seahawks dominated statistically, outgaining the Rams 463-272. But for St. Louis, special teams trickery was the difference.
The Seattle Seahawks were on the verge of releasing Percy Harvin on Friday before the Jets traded for the talented-but-troubled wide receiver, league and team sources told ESPN.
The Harvin trade, if it works, will see Idzik take the lion's share of the credit. It also will show that he ignored this team's greatest need to the detriment of their playoff hopes.
Two people familiar with the trade told The Associated Press on Friday that Harvin, a star in last season's Super Bowl but injury prone through his career, was headed to the Jets.
The Jets are lost, and there's no leadership to help them find the right path.

They never cease to amaze. The Jets have always owned the patent on inventive ways to lose, but Thursday night's defeat was their most maddening failure in some time.

If anything, Thursday night in New England showed how poor this team is -- they couldn't take a game that was practically given to them.
New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan is left frustrated after watching his team throw away a victory with stupid mistakes and penalties.
The Jets suffered their sixth straight loss, the longest streak in Rex Ryan's six seasons as coach, after taking a 19-17 lead with just under 9 minutes left in the third quarter.

This is the last thing New York Jets fans need to hear. But here it is: Tom Brady could have been drafted by the green and white, if only one scout had his way.
The New York Jets are headed in a completely different direction than the New England Patriots in the AFC East, and that needs to change on Thursday night. In a must-win game, the Jets are a little beat-up, but the injury report consists of a lot of names that will play through the pain.
If seeing Darrelle Revis in a Patriots uniform makes Rex Ryan sick to his stomach, imagine how the Jets coach will feel if his former star player scores a touchdown on Thursday night.
Al entered the Allstate Studio on Thursday and rocked the house with his revamped classic. Let's hope Sexy Rexy and his Gang Green were listening.
The New England Patriots are going in one direction and the New York Jets are going in another. On "Thursday Night Football," the teams are going to face off in an AFC East battle that may not be nearly as competitive as it has been in past years. Former NFL quarterback Trent Green took some time to speak with me regarding both teams, injuries, and their direction for the season.
The Patriots turned their season around in plenty of time. It's probably too late for the Jets, especially if they drop their sixth straight game on Thursday night.
Simms didn't get to say goodbye until after revealing, of course, what he is benching these days.
The more it rains, the better the Jets' chances in New England Thursday night become. That was the belief that Boomer and Craig were spewing while opening up today's radio program.
