As expected, Marvin Harrison reported to the Colts today for the start of the team’s three-day minicamp.
And, as expected, he neither participated in drills nor spoke to the media. That left his teammates to pick up the slack, not that they were saying all that much. “Nothing’s been…I don’t think anything’s been figured out. Until then, it’s hard to make a conclusion. But for now, I just support Marv,” said Colts tight end Dallas Clark.
“Didn’t have a whole lot of reaction to it. I didn’t talk to anybody personally about it. I have text messages from friends but haven’t talked to coach Dungy or Marvin. I’ve been around long enough to know until I hear from someone who truly knows, I don’t give it a lot of merit,” said Peyton Manning.
What? You were expecting Peyton to pitch a Smith and Wesson commercial starring him and his favorite receiver? Okay, that actually isn’t all that far-fetched for America’s favorite pitchman but, really, there wasn’t much reason to expect anything too exciting out of Colts mouths.
I would, however, expect something more out of an investigation that’s been going on for nearly three weeks. You’d think, in Arlen Specter’s home state, that these things would get done in record time.

No, why would Specter pay attention to a shooting, when he could catch potential cheaters instead?
And why would anyone bother investigating potential tampering with players, coaches and scouts before the free agency period and before the draft?

Marvin will spend the rest of his life searching for the real shooter.

I always knew Marv “The Termite” was a standup guy.
If this was, say Chris Henry or TO, you think it would’ve dragged on for what has it been, 2 and a half weeks?

It’s not like this is an open and shut case. The gun in question is quite commone, and it was found in a back alley, and the bullets don’t match at all……OH, WAIT! That would be in Marvin’s dreams!! Of course, as OJ proved, if you have enough money, you can buy your way out of anything. Hell, even Pacman was able to buy a scapegoat!

Awaiting commentary from Coach Dungy. Obviously no outcome on investigation…..yet, but one would think the high principled Coach Dungy certainly would react strongly and quickly if charges are filed or more info comes out not in Mr. Harrisons favor. We will see if Coach Dungy has double standards!

Nothing will come of this. Of course, if it had been Randy Moss then he would have already been arrested, convicted and sentenced. The whole thing is a friggin joke.

Some of you may have to pull a Boston Herald and come back here to post retractions and apologies when this is all over. It’s way too early to pile on Marvin…way too early. Let’s see what develops.

If the Pats were just left alone we’d probably have this shooting on tape…

Lets see ,a shooting ocurred, Marvin Harrison was found with a gun involved in the shooting in a bucket at his car wash around the corner.Good thing John Tomase doesn’t write for the Indy or Philly papers. Its not over Colts fans, say goodbye to Marvin. I guess the incident in Hawaii which he was accused of slapping a kid never happened.

If half of the “reports*” from the Philly wannabe radio guy were true, then Harrison would have been arrested weeks ago but for some reason he hasn’t been arrested yet.
Time will tell, but the people throwing around WIPP’s information, sound as ignorant as he did during his 13.5 minutes of fame.

“I don’t think there’s any question he (did it)can still do it,” Manning said. “Marvin has told us he will be 100 percent(guilty) and ready to go (to jail).
