Colts receiver Marvin Harrison has generally avoided the glare of the media spotlight throughout an NFL career that has spanned more than a decade.
So it should come as no surprise that Harrison wouldn’t talk to a reporter who tried to get a comment on the legal issues still hovering over Harrison as he returned to Philly from a mandatory minicamp in Indianapolis.
John Clark of NBC 10 attempted to intercept Harrison at the airport in Philly, but Harrison “suddenly changed directions several times” (maybe his knees have improved) in order to avoid Clark.
Harrison also ducked into an office and at one point “faked running down a set of stairs.”
The investigation regarding shots fired nearly three weeks ago from a gun owned by Harrison continues. Per NBC 10, police are waiting for DNA test results before moving forward.

Hey Florio, in your experience in law, do the innocent run away? Not likely.

If that was Pacman’s bar and Pacman’s gun, he would already be behind bars.
This is ridiculous.

If Marvin can move like that throughout an airport concourse, then the rest of the league, better watch out, because the colts will be unstoppable. Hopefully Marvin gets cleared, so that the media sharks can lay off him and let him move on with his life.

jeezy, just make sure you understand what you’re saying.
Media “sharks” should lay off a man charged with firing a gun numerous times towards live people, threatning their one and only existance on this planet, so that Marvin can move on with his life of playing a football game.
That’s what you’re saying right?

marvin is a good guy, he helps out the community with car washes, detail shops, stores, and restaurants, he donates time and money and doesn’t seek out recognition for it. The media is always looking to crucify and lynch black athletes.

I wonder where we would be now if it was Chris Henry’s bar?
I guarantee you he would already be having talks with Goodell.
but why not Marvin?
while you are asking yourself that, you can also ask why the Colts get ridiculous calls in their favor in the playoffs every single year.

People have turned this Marvin situation into a complete load of bull shit. These comments show how ignorant readers are on this site.
Marvin has always dodged the media, and this is no different. People would rather listen to the media’s hype (The media for god’s sake…) over this entire ordeal because they want it to be true so much.
It’s gotten so ridiculous that people are saying that Goodell would be suspending him if he were Pacman Jones or Chris Henry. Well, no ****ingj duh. If you guys have not noticed, Pacman and Chris proved time and time again that they ARE trouble makers. Marvin on the other hand, he’s always been a good natured man who has never once gotten himself in trouble. So when he says “I didn’t do it” compared to Chris Henry saying “I didn’t do it”, which one do you think is going to get the benefit of the doubt.
I had to make an account just to make a response about this site. It’s horrible. From ‘JaMarcus Russell ballooned to 300 pounds’ to this entire Marvin situation, people have talked out of their asses the entire time.
Get some common sense people.

Marvin is also a trouble maker.
Marvin belongs in the group with Chris Henry and Pacman Jones.
Marvin has choked kids asking for an autograph.

He is a terrible person.

Debacled, he was sued by people who said he choked some kids, but that suit was dismissed by the court for lack of evidence. Think about that for a second.

It was later dismissed after Harrison quietly payed the kid’s family off.
This would help explain why Marvin was so successful at choking come playoff time.

The case was not dropped, it was dismissed. If Harrison paid anyone to make it go away it would have to have been the judge.

Civil Suits are not dismissed by the courts in the same manner as a criminal trial. If the suit was dropped it most likely entailed a substantial cash settlement paid by Harrison to make it go away. That does not absolve him of any wrongdoing.
