Vanore also said that the shooting took place on the freeway, fwiw. Seems like the final story will be a bit different than the story that broke.

That's the silver lining I see on this cloudy situation.Last I heard he was limping around Chucky E. Cheeses. ... and now he's running down criminals dishing out vigilante justice. There's reason for optimism here.so if Harrison "runs" down an alleyway shooting at a former convict, does this mean his knee is fully healed?No. Because he is an NFL promoted "good guy" and I like people to have heroes that don't turn out to be frauds.Why? Because he's got great hands and has great tippy-toe catch skills on the sideline?Okay. But I'm choosing to believe Harrison isn't a guy to run down an alleyway shooting at another guy. Ne was either set up, or the gun was stolen, or something similar.

You should wait until you see his own special brand of artwork before making any condescending remarks.Wow you are a better kicker than a person, and thats no saying much. Were you in Philly tuesday? Loser

There were a number of threads about the weirdness surrounding Harrison and his injury last year. I cant remember who but a guy with ties to the Colts said that Marvin wasnt that hurt last year but just didnt want to play. He had some tiff with Dungy. Sounds like he's wired pretty tight.
Did he get his ### kicked or did he do the ### kicking? I have seen it mentioned both ways in here.

Man I'm just sick about this, Marvin seemed like such a good guy, but definately one who's marched to his own beat. I hope things aren't what they seem.

If he gets suspended, do you think he officially retires?

Man, I'm really excited about Antony Gonzales now.

Don't be surprised if when all this shakes out Ocho Ocho wasn't even at the scene of the shooting. That's not to say that his gun being used might not be an issue, but these reports smell fishy right now and I'm betting Marvin isn't directly involved.

I just heard on local Indy radio that Marvin's agent said that the report is erroneous. Marvin was not at the club that night and he is not a suspect.
Sorry, no link.
Just reporting what was said, I suspend my assumptions until the facts are on the table.

I'd be excited even if all this is bogus. The NFL is a young persons league. Marvin may start the season as WR2, but it won't take Gonzalez very long to take that spot.

Yep. I had to find a fair way of wording the thread title until we learn more.

I wasn't bashing your OP. Just some of the others' posts in here. It doesn't look good, but I just don't like passing judgement until we have more info. Especially in Harrison's case.

Way to early to assume he's guilty of something. I think there is quite a few scenarios that could have gone down in which Marvin didn't do anything wrong. He's never given a reason to not give him the benefit of the doubt so you just have to wait until more information comes out.

Here is your worst case scenario: guy gets rowdy at Marvin's bar, they exchange words and trade punches. Marvin pops him good a few times, so they guy who has already done time for killing someone heads to his car to get a gun. Marvin keeps a piece there for protection and exchanges shots after the guy shoots at him. Self defense.

well, i dont wanna pass judgment, but po-lice coming to your carwash for questioning and finding a weapon involved in a crime a few days ago soaking in a bucket doesnt sound good. I mean, even OJ at least buried the gloves.
Im a marvin fan, but I think its hard to believe he wasnt VERY closely involved in this, if not the shooter
One things for sure, marvin harrison IS gangsta...anyone else notice him as Avon Barksdale's double in that episode in season 2? I think so

I don't think he shot anybody but my opinion is that he was irresponsible with the ownership of his gun.
Again, my opinion is that this won't end up being much in terms of what happens to Marvin legally. Of course the media surrounding it is huge, but his record is clean and he's done a lot of charity work etc....around that area for a long time, which I think will count for a lot.
Obviously, if it turns out he actually shot someone, this all changes. My assumptions are based on him not being the shooter and someone got a hold of his gun and used it.

I know all the facts aren't out.. but this doesn't look good. And if it is true, do the Colts wash themselves of Marv?

WhyTF does Marvin own a carwash? Aren't there better places to invest your money?

Harrison's been in the league for what, 13 years? He's been involved in how many incidents? Minimal at worst. He's getting the benefit of the doubt here with me. I dont care if some have good reason or any at all to think he's an #####. Arent we all? Id like to see some actual facts and accounts before throwing the guy under the bus.

That's what I'm thinking, too. But the fact that Marvin reportedly told the police that the gun never left his house - right before they find it in the bucket - makes it look worse.If the above scenario is the way it went down, Marvin should have come clean right off the bat. "Look, this guy has come into my bar before & caused problems. He did it again Tuesday, so I went ninja on him. He then appeared to be going for a gun so I fired at him. I was protecting myself". I doubt much would have happened to him (again, assuming what's above is true), but the fact that he reportedly lied to the cops doesn't look good.dotman said:

Still a lot unknown on this story. So far the only real information that we "know" seems to be coming from WIP, not a source that I have a lot of trust in.
All I know, is that if the police really found the gun used in the shooting in a bucket at Harrison's car wash, then he's truly an idiot. That part of the story just seems totally ridiculous.
I think WIP better be pretty sure that they're right on this one, or they're finally going to see a lawsuit.

I'll believe this when he's proven guilty. My cousin is friends with Marvin from high school. I've gotten several opportunities to hang out with him. Always been a very nice, polite guy. I'm by no means claiming to be buds with Marvin or know him very well, but from my own experiences and everything my cousin has told me, I'd be surprised if he's guilty. Last time I saw Marvin was last summer. I'm not likely to see him again anytime soon, but if I talk to my cousin and he's talked to Marvin, I'll let you guys know what he says.

Yes, anything you get from WIP has to be taken with a grain of salt to begin with. Those guys are idiots. I lived over there(N. Wilmington, DE) in their listening area for a year and a half, and couldn't believe some of what I heard coming from them.Another thing is, the location of Harrison's bar is in the northern sector of Philly, one of the worst parts of town and just a few blocks from a highly drug-infested area. Thus, the car wash. Just what kind of "sources" do you think were calling in to WIP to begin with?
Highly questionable to say the least.

Agree. Most people here think I'm an ####### and I've never shot at anybody. Our opinions tend to get pretty heavy on these athelets w/ very little knowlege about them, just 'cause we get to see what they do in a sport for a few months out of the year. Even those opinions are pretty skewed if you think about it. I'd guess the majority of us have played football or some contact sport in our lives. Were you the same person on the field as you were off of it? Marvin has always seemed like a pretty cool cat on Sundays. That doesn't mean he's not a thug. T.O. has always behaved like a ##### on Sunday, but that doesn't mean that he really is. Most of us should be smart enough to keep our polarized opinions about somebody's private life to ourselves until we know more about the person and the situation being reported.As for on the field, give all the one-sided opinion you want. That's what this place is for. We are not auditioning to be prespective jurors (or to be excused).

You should have watched that Real Sports bit about Lenny Dykstra. That guy probably has a 70 IQ and his car washes made him many millions of dollars.

Further reports now indicate that, in all actuality, it's a garage and detail shop, not a car wash.
Which takes me back to my previous post(#195)...
Just what kind of "sources" do you think are offering up this information to WIP?

VERY TRUE... I apologize to everyone in this thread for my earlier comments. I shouldnt have jumped to anything. And I'm a Marvin fan (still) if he is innocent.
