Agreed. Also surprised by how little coverage Harrison's retirement has gotten compared to someone like Jerry Rice.

I'm shocked this hasn't gotten more attention as well. As a Colts fan, it's really amazing how his different on and off field personna's have come to light in the last couple of years. As Bill Simmons wrote today "There's a chance the 'classiest' (at least on the field) receiver of his generation leads a double life as a gun-toting nightclub owner in a rough section of Philadelphia. " Just bizzare.

Little early for that ... tons more facts would have to come to light for this thing to truly blow up in the media....Jebus, for almost his entire career in Indy, Harrison appeared to the model of class from over here. Did Indy fans and insiders know about Harrison having this kind of stuff under the surface?

I'm not, remember when Michael Irvin stabbed that dude in the neck with some sissors in the locker room? Yea nothing happened with that one either. Stars are protected in the league as long as it's just man on man crime

That does Harrison no good now. I'm the police will have no problems hanging him out to dry should further evidence come in.TommyGilmore

Me too. One of the comments under that story said "Harrison is obviously untouchable in this town."

How did he accuse Harrison if he never regained consciousness?Update:

He hasn't retired yet. The writing is on the wall - but he hasn't read the writing yet.
He was probably more aloof than anything. Didn't think he'd be linked to this - but these days it is really hard to be surprised if any famous athlete gets in trouble in some way.

Supposedly the first officer on the scene claimed that Dixon identified Harrison before losing consciousness. However, the Philly police have backed off of that claim in the most recent articles. (But maybe that's because they're building a case against Harrison?)RudeDog said:

I'm more surprised that people seem stunned that Harrison isn't a model citizen. You don't know these players you just see them for 3 hours a week on Sunday. It's a mistake to solely judge them for good or bad just based on how they handle themselves with football. I'm not at all surprised about Harrison owning and frequently the bar in a questionable area or being involved with thugish types. Just because a guy is soft spoken and business like on the field doesn't mean that's who he is.
No conflict. The guy was shot. Prior to losing consciousness, he made an accusation. He lost consciousness. He died. The accusation, true or not, isn't a problem for Harrison unless the police have more evidence. And if they do, they are the best cops in America at keeping a story from leaking to media.RudeDog said:Anybody see any conflicts in these stories ?TommyGilmore said:Update:

Not really... note the "Moments after..." There can be an amount of time between shooting and loss of consciousness in which he talked to police (which seems to be what the top article claims).RudeDog said:Anybody see any conflicts in these stories ?TommyGilmore said:Update:

thankfully Harrison didn't fight dogs or this would be HUGE news
as it is, just one dead guy, not a big deal

I read the title and sub title and had to comment.
Anybody curious as to the wording?
Remember the guy who Harrison shot? #1 HE'S DEAD #2 HE SAYS HARRISON HIRED THE KILLER
Maybe we could switch those around. After reading the first linked story it makes sense, but seeing it on the board the way it is written sounds strange.
My question for that linked story is if the police officer was close enough to talk to the guy while he was still alive, how did he not see the shooter? Depends on the length of time he survived, but that timing is questionable. Speculation.
If this statement turns out to be true, it will be interesting to see the other info about Harrison.

As a Philadelphian, you would never know Harrison even lives in the city.
Other than this bizzare shooting story, you never see him or hear of him.
Very strange because most athletes you hear of sightings in restaurants downtown, or them doing charity events. Not saying Harrison doesn't do those things, it's just never publicized.

If he's arrested for this, it will be a big deal. Not as big as Vick since Harrison is not currently playing and isn't the face of an NFL franchise now.

Ditto here in the city of Indianapolis. You hear various rumors about other players and their alleged extracurricular activities, but never once have I heard a peep about Harrison. Just a strange situation in all regards.
I wouln't trust a word a Dixon says...or said.
Dwight Dixon, the man who claimed (without any evidence) that Marvin Harrison shot him last year has been shot again
by BigBlueShoe on Jul 21, 2009 10:41 PM EDT in NFL General 16 comments
On the heels of ESPN refusing to cover the Ben Roethlisberger "non-story," we continue to dig up ghosts of ESPN shotty work by reporting (via USA Today) that the man who accused Marvin Harrison of shooting him in the hand last year has been shot again, multiple times. Apparently, unlike the incident in July 2008, this one is much more serious:
A Philadelphia man who says he was shot by Indianapolis Colts receiver Marvin Harrison last year has been shot again.
Philadelphia television station WTXF and the Philadelphia Daily News report that 33-year-old Dwight Dixon was multiple times Tuesday. The shift director at Hahnemann University Hospital said Dixon was in critical condition late Tuesday.
Dixon is a convicted felon with a shady past, it seems. Despite his past (he was also recently convicted of a misdemeanor in January of this for lying to police about the shooting in July 2008), we sincerely hope he can fully recover from this.
Just like last year, Marvin Harrison is not a suspect in shooting Dixon. Any comments that suggest he is will get zapped from the site.

Because he hangs out in North Philly, and the media and FBG posters... don't.

Way to many people believing this guy in here, unless before shooting him the killer told him Marvin paid him (which I doubt), then you're just blindly believing the word of a convicted felon who has no way of knowing if it's the truth.
Could Marvin had paid someone to do it? Sure.
Could being a low life in North Philly led to him getting killed for any of 100 other reasons? Absolutely, and I think that's the more likely of scenarios.

Or carried a gun into a nightclub.

You obviously think a lot more of Marvin than I do. I think Marvin is one of those "low life" people in North Philly. A guy with a pending civil case against Harrison is shot with no apparent motive or suspects, one week before another alleged shooting victim of Harrison's is going to file a civil case and... nothing? Sure there's no proof and likely never will be, but it's was already an ugly situation and this "unrelated" shooting sure seems convenient.

The whole city is in chaos. North Philly, South Philly, West Philly. The Irish from Kenzo, the Italians down south, the Muslims across the whole city.
Anybody doing dirt can get shot at any time.
To me, it seems like the victim was in too deep with the wrong crowd of people. He could have gotten it anyway, which way.
Too sad too.
Pennsylvania state-wide is a wreck.

Most athletes don't spend their offseasons putting out hits on people. Or living in North Philly, I bet.

If he has no value anymore playing with one of the best QB's of all-time, with whom he played for a decade (?), he's worthless.You can safely drop Barry Sanders and Burress too.comfortably numb said:
So I guess Harrison is guilty before being proven innocent?
I don't know the guy personally and I assume no one else who posted comments on this does either.
Give it a rest people.
Believe it or not this still is America and we shouldn't "hang" people without THE FACTS.
my two cents.

We don't know if he shot those guys, but we know it was his gun, we know he lied to the police or at the least made misleading statements and we know he knew where the gun was hidden after the shooting. That certainly doesn't mean that he shot those guys(on a street with plenty of completely unrelated people within range and danger) but somebody shot those people with his gun and he must have known about it. Some people keep acting like the fact that Harrison wasn't arrested means he's innocent. It just means the DA didn't think they could get a conviction.

Facts:-Harrison got in a fight with the guy.
-Someone somehow got Harrison's gun and went outside and fired multiple shots hitting the guy and another guy and almost hitting other people.
-Harrison made false or misleading statements to the police.
-Harrison knew the whereabouts of the weapon used in the crime after the fact.
-Harrison, his friends and employees at the bar and the car wash claim to have no idea who got Harrison's gun and used it to commit this crime or how it got back in Harrison's possession after the crime was committed.
To the best of my recollection those are the facts of this case. It might not be enough to convict Harrison, but it's enough to know there's was something very shady going on.
