ProFootballTalk.com - HARRISON INVESTIGATED IN SHOOTING

Posted by Mike Florio on May 2, 2008, 4:31 p.m.

Who’s the last guy in the NFL that you think would be involved in a shooting? Take a minute to write down a name. (And ignore the title to this article in doing so.)

If you wrote down “Marvin Harrison” (and more than a few of you undoubtedly did . . . especially if you weren’t able to ignore the title to this article), then you win.

The Italian leg lamp will be arriving tonight.

Harrison, per our friends (except one of them) at WIP radio in Philly, is being investigated for his role in a shooting that occurred Tuesday night outside his North Philadelphia bar.

Harrison was involved in an argument with the victim at the ironically-named “Playmakers” bar. As the victim left and was walking to his car, Harrison was following. Shots rang out, and the victim was struck in the hand. A young girl was struck by broken glass from a car that had been struck by a bullet.

Ballistic tests showed that the bullets came from a custom-made Belgian gun. Harrison owns one of the guns in question.

Questioned about it at a Philadelphia car wash that he owns, Harrison admitted that he owns such a gun, but that it has never left his home.

Later, the gun was found in a bucket at the car wash. Tests revealed that the gun was the same gun involved in the shooting, and that seven bullets were fired at the time.

Folks, Marvin is innocent until proven guilty. But unless there’s an autistic cousin (or a dog with a thumb) on whom this thing can be pinned, Harrison’s quest for Jerry Rice’s all-time records might be derailed by something other than bad knees.


Didn't these guys pay attention to Pac Man and Vick?

I hope everyone is okay, and I hope this does not affect his playing this season. But of course, I do not think any player's personal life should affect their playing time. No one is perfect.

I heard on the radio that he was just interviewed about it but he was nt a suspect. I can't see Marvin getting mixed up in this. Although it does surprise me he was even involved enough to get questioned.

I can't believe Marvin would be caught up in something like that. That guy is always the most professional player on the field. I'm in shock.

OK, they found HIS gun at HIS car wash, HIS gun shot a man, and it was at HIS car wash that Harrison was questioned. Nice going Marvin. It happened at Marvin's bar and the gun was found at Marvin's car wash. OK, what's wrong with this picture?

What?! You can't be serious. I don't even know how to reply to that statement.

Hey that guy in Austria that locked his daughter in the celler for 24 years and raped her and fathered a bunch of kids with her...hope he still gets to play bridge.

Please say you are joking.
