As if the news of a shooting with his gun last week, an alleged choking with his hands in 2005, and another palms-on-someone-else’s-neck incident in 2003 weren’t enough to justify a conclusion that Colts receiver Marvin Harrison might not be the nice, quiet guy that his on-field demeanor suggests, A.J. Daulerio of Deadspin hints that we might learn a lot more about Harrison, soon.
“According to one prominent national television reporter,” Daulerio writes, “if Harrison gets charged in this case, all of the dirty laundry that many people have been sifting through will be revealed.”
Daulerio also thinks that Wednesday’s conclusions-without-facts rant from WIP’s Howard Eskin could prove to be on the money. “[A]s much as Eskin is a blustery asshole on air at times,” Daulerio writes, “he’s also not reckless and does his due diligence when it comes to stories of this nature. Also, what Eskin said is consistent with some of the stories being corroborated by a few people close to the investigation.”
Maybe what Daulerio meant to say is that Eskin isn’t reckless anymore. (Getting sued and suspended will do a lot to teach a guy not to make unsubstantiated accusations.)

Just because Eskin hates you doesn’t mean you have to bring him up in every story. I try not to think of him!

I am still shocked that Harrison could have done all of this. This is what I expect from Chris Henry or PacMan. BTW, I listen to Howard Eskin every so often, and he has made it clear that he hates this site, along with most sports blogs. Then again, he doesn’t like any other sources other than his own show.

All of which proves that when you take someone out of
a poverty situation, hand then a shitpop full of money
they are going to end up doing all sorts of things that
might not be wholesome and socially acceptable.
Should it be different? Probably.. is it realistic to
expect it to be? Hell NO!!
These are all young men, coming from violent and frequently
impoverished backgrounds, thinking they are going to
live lives that rival saints is naiveté of almost monumental
proportions.
Am I saying it is wrong to prosecute them for their choices?
Not in the least.. I do think it is wrong to expect behavior
other than what their social background and training has
taught them, and no amount of “Turd-watch” points is going to
make a difference in this.

“Eskin is a blustery asshole on air at times”
Those times are 3-7 PM. He was right about Freddie Mitchell not being used enough in the Eagles offense. Freddie is making them pay with his success in… probably Walmart.
Oh yeah, this too.

North Philly is probably one of the worst places in this country. It’s not shocking that violence came back into his life. I’m assuming, a safe assumption, that it was there already.

Remember when Michael Irvin got busted with some hookers, a few dildos and a plate full of coke was considered “shocking”? He’s a boy scout compared to some of the guys in today’s NFL. I blame GTA 4.

Damn, damn, damn. I should’ve know what was coming after he spiked that ball in Mike Vrabel’s face during the 2006 AFC Championship game. Things kind of wen’t downhill from there, huh…?
Come on, now Marvin’s living “two lives”???…on one hand, he’s the future Hall of Fame receiver, the guy who quietly goes about his business and everyone respects…on the other hand he’s Marvin “Dirty” Harr-”y”-son, the quick fingered vigilante, a lean(yes, very), mean(not so much), ass kicking machine who’s somehow related to Rambo?
Puhlease, I’ll believe it when I see it.

Damn, this cat is going to be one bad ass, just watch. This is reminding me of the movie “American Gangster.” He’s going to be the quiet low profile mob boss. Maybe Denzel will play Marvin in the movie? Of course he’d have to lose 30 pounds!

HOME for the summer, yay!
As for this Marvin Harrison debacle (thanks, Emmitt), I just hope it’s all not true and want it to go away. (Actually, didn’t I maybe use debacle correctly there?) It’s a crappy feeling when you put someone on a pedestal (thanks, The 40-year-old Virgin) and it turns out not to be justified.
But the most important thing is that we all find out the truth, however good or bad that may be.
