I guess that's why he's not a QB. Seriously, this would be one of the last guys I would have thought would be in this kind of trouble. I'll definitely give him the benefit of innocent until proven guilty as he hasn't been in trouble before.

Seriously, this whole thing is really fishy. I'm just going to assume he's innocent unless he's convicted.

As a longtime M.Harrison fan and a current R.Wayne owner this is quite the bittersweet tale.

And on this particular day, Eddie Kennison is very glad he's no Marvin Harrison.

I don't know about that. Kennison would probably take the millions, sure selection into the HOF, SB ring for what will likely be probation or possibly a couple of years in the joint.

Don't worry - Goodell is in custody of all of the videotape, so we'll know the truth before too long.
nah. just a conditional 4th that could be as high as a 2nd if he gets 1200 yards and 10 td's.You couldn't have paid that much for a 36 year old WR coming off an injury plagued season, could you?of course this comes out after i trade for marvin in a dynasty league. doh!!!!!11!!!1!uno1!!!

Oh. Man.Okay.... I could have named 1500 NFL players who would shoot a gun at a man before I got to Marvin.

None of us knew who Marvin really was to begin with.And none of us know all the facts of this case. The police don't even know yet.But have fun with that Jump to Conclusions mat. It's a great game.

I don't even feel like I know you anymore, Norwood.
Go to Comcast.net and read what I read. Then add it up. I bet you cant. So yes, I said it. Im not going to be here talking about the Jags finally knocking off the Colts. Dont try to give the benefit of the doubt, thats not up to you or me, but what I do see is that hes a role model and how do you put yourself in a position like this if you're doing the right thing?

I did read it. I There isnt much there. The guy that got shot did noty say who it was. And there is not a source that says harrison followed him out. Its all assumed. As for the gun, just because you own a gun doesnt mean your the only one that can shoot someone with it. There is too many holes. If they had what you APPEAR to THINK what they have, he would be in jail now. They have a guy that was shot that cant ID the shooter and that told a philly radio station it wasnt Marvin. And a gun registered to Marvin in a buckett at a car wash Marvin owns that had been in the shooting. Philly radio said there was massive gunfire like the old west. Plus everyone knows a great place to hide a gun is in a buckett at your own carwash...

So Harrison owns a bar, and he owns a nearby car wash too. Quite the businessman in Philly. 
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world are washing their cars
On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing
As best they can in skirts and suits
They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, the record store too,
Well, they’re nothing like Billy and me, cause
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I’m not the only one...

I like a good beer buzz early in the morningAnd Billy likes to peel the labels From his bottles of BudHe shreds them on the barThen he lights every match in an oversized packLetting each one burn down to his thick fingersBefore blowing and cursing them outAnd he's watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on the floorAnd a happy couple enters the barDangerously close to one anotherThe bartender looks up from his want adsSo Harrison owns a bar, and he owns a nearby car wash too.

There isnt enough to arrest him yet. SO your the one up the river. All things said, it doest look all that good for him but there is some things i question. It sounds kind of like a frame job. I just heard police got a tip of where the gun was at the car wash. Dosnt that sound fishy to you?
PatsFanCT
Footballguy
He was seen beating the crap out of a guy at his bar, chasing him down the road and soon after, shots, apparently from his gun were fired. The gun was found in a bucket at his car wash. The only thing that sounds fishy is the reasoning behind people think it's a frame job.

Did someone already mention "Vick to Harrison"??

Thats in your words. Its not stated anywhere. And if were that clear cut he would have been arrested 2 days ago..If he did it he should be in jail. But there isnt a full story yet. Someone is holding out.

From being a neighborhood guy and knowing people that known him a while and hang around. He isn't the blue chipper everyone thinks.

No, you're the first. However, it would be a long pass from Leavenworth to any PA prison...
This is exactly what I began thinking when I seen the title.
wow, total shocker... I can't believe as i read this. He always seemed so laid back. This isn't even a nothing kind of charge, I have a horrible gut feeling that we've seen the end of marvin in indy and possibly from the NFL. It's hard to believe if they cut him at his age he'd even want to pursue a career with any other NFL team since he is very accomplished with absolutely nothing left to prove. Also, the "bruised" knee might come into a factor if he had to pass any kind of physical.

ESPN has a story on it now http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3378829
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison is under investigation in his hometown of Philadelphia in a shooting that took place earlier this week, a source close to the investigation told Anthony Gargano of Philadelphia's WIP Radio.
Harrison was interviewed by police about the shooting near his North Philadelphia bar this week.
Lt. Frank Vanore said the investigation of Tuesday's shooting was continuing. Harrison has not been arrested or charged.
"He was interviewed," Vanore said Friday. "Why he was interviewed, that is all part of the investigation. No one is a suspect."
After the first day of their rookie minicamp, Colts coach Tony Dungy said he knew little more than had been reported.
"My phone has been ringing, too, but I don't have any details," Dungy said. "I really don't have any more information than you do."
Calls by ESPN to Harrison and his agent have not been returned. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league was "aware of the report, and we are looking into it."
• Read the NFL gun policy
The source said the alleged victim came into the bar, Playmakers, around 5 p.m. and engaged in an argument with Harrison, who was at the bar. The victim then left the bar, heading to his car, with Harrison following. Gunfire broke out, the victim was hit in the hand, and a young girl was slightly injured by flying glass from a car that apparently was hit by a bullet.
Police came to scene, but the victim did not identify a shooter. On Wednesday, according to the source, ballistic tests showed that the gun that had fired the shots was a custom-made Belgian weapon, and police determined that Harrison owned such a gun. A source told ESPN.com's John Clayton that the gun is registered.
Police then went to a Philadelphia car wash owned by Harrison to question him about the gun. Harrison admitted owning such a weapon, but claimed it never left his suburban Philadelphia home.
However, the source said the gun was discovered in a bucket at the car wash, and tests showed that it had fired seven bullets that matched those found at the scene.
The source said police were contacted Friday by an attorney representing a second alleged victim in the shooting, and police are now waiting for that individual to come forward.
Harrison, a prep football star at Philadelphia's Roman Catholic High, has owned Playmakers since July 2004, according to state records.
Harrison has played his entire 12-season career with the Colts and is the franchise's record-holder in every major receiving category -- receptions (1,042), yards (13,944), touchdowns (123) and 100-yard games (59). The 35-year-old is one of only four players in league history to top 1,000 receptions.
But after eight consecutive Pro Bowl appearances, last season was the most frustrating of Harrison's career.
He injured his left knee against Denver on Sept. 30, finished with 20 receptions for 247 yards and one TD and missed all but five games.
Team president Bill Polian said in February that Harrison was recovering from offseason arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and had been rehabilitating the inflamed capsule in his left knee. He was not expected to be completely healthy for the start of the Colts training camp July 24.
The typically quiet Harrison has a reputation for being humble on and off the field.
But he's still one of the Colts' most visible players -- and their longest tenured veteran. Harrison, along with Peyton Manning and Edgerrin James, were nicknamed Indy's triplets in the late 1990s. He was a first-round draft pick in 1996 out of Syracuse and wound up the best receiver in a class that included Keyshawn Johnson and Eric Moulds.
Off the field, Harrison was sued following the 2005 Pro Bowl when three boys accused him of attacking them when they tried to get his autograph. The suit alleged Harrison "violently and physically attacked" the minors, including placing a "potentially deadly choke hold" on one of the boys, but it was later dismissed.

Comments from John Clayton on gun law
While police investigate whether Marvin Harrison was involved in a Philadelphia-area shooting, the NFL's policy on guns is clear: "Be careful and understand the risks."
The league policy says a player can not possess a gun or other weapon performing any service for his team or the NFL. In Harrison's case, he was not involved in any NFL related function. He owns a bar and a car wash.
The policy advises: "If you legally possess a weapon, you must understand the local, state and federal laws that apply.''
Weapons laws are different in each state, and this is where Harrison -- even if he's not involved in the shooting -- could face problems. In Pennsylvania, the owner of a weapon involved in the shooting can be charged in the crime. If police legally determine the handgun belongs to Harrison, he could be charged with at least a misdemeanor.
If that is the case, Harrison could face NFL discipline, which could result in a suspension. According to the policy: "If you violate a public law covering weapons -- for example, possession of an unlicensed firearm -- you are not only subject to discipline, including suspension from playing, but also subject to criminal prosecution.''

I've never thought Harrison was a bad guy, but I've always hated the way he plays. Running out of bounds at the 1 instead of diving in for an easy score. Falling down instead of getting hit. Come to think of it, if his on-field personality matches his off-field, then maybe this isn't that much of a stretch. He's a #####.
