Colts Marvin Harrison questioned in Philly Shooting

Well, it just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover. Because Chad Johnson is loud and brash, it's assumed he's some sort of a-hole. And even though he's never been arrested, charged, suspected of any crime or misdemeanor many woudn't be surprised if this story was about him. Because Marvin Harrison is quiet and professional (even though he apparently almost never joins the team for film sessions and rarely goes into the huddle) it's assumed he's some sort of saint who could never possibly be guilty of such a crime.

Now I'm not saying he is, just saying let's not make assumptions.


There was one episode just a few years ago that does not lend credence to Harrison being the quiet unasuming professional. If memory serves me correctly, there was a story about him reacting violently to a group of teen-agers seeking his autograph. It was noted his character at that time was considered to be out of the ordinary for him as well.

As someone previously stated, the details of this case are sketchy at best, but Harrison may still have some explaining to do. If it has been determined the gun that fired the shots came from a weapon belonging to him, he stated to police the gun never leaves his home but was found in a trash can at the car-wash he owns, something is amiss.

In case anyone was wondering about the gun. I was thinking it was like some old WWII gun that was gold plated or somthing. Those are some pretty serious looking bullets for a pistol.

i never thought marvin harrison would ever be that stupid!

I honestly am not sure if this really is out of character for Harrison. Who here or really anywhere else outside of Harrison's immediate family and close friends is to say that that is out of character for Marvin? Just because he is quite and reserved in front of the camera doesen't mean he can't mess up.

In the media's effort to bash the Hiphop posturing of WR's and the showmanship and oneupmanship they have displayed over the last several years - to make sure the NFL keeps its distance from the more "urban" and less popular NBA - they have elevated Harrison to saint status just for being quiet; a dominant player who never made a fake cell phone call from the endzone. However, as Smoot pointed out, his character has been questionable even on the field, now we are seeing there may be issues off of it as well.

And I never understood why Harrison gets a free ride for disappearing in every playoff game ever.

I'm from D.C. and live here, and I would totally open up a place in South East. A good portion of the people that work on the Hill actually live in South East. But I take it you're referring to east of the Anacostia river, because all of South East isn't that bad.

If everyone avoids the crime infested places, things will never change.

That's exactly where I'm talking about.
