What has the sports world come to? Have they all lost their minds?
Here stands Marvin Harrison. The leagues quiet, unassuming black man -- their answer to the brash attention-mongers like TO and Ocho Cinco. Everything about this guy seemed stoicly stable and picturesque. Even his old-school mustache screamed I'm a stand up guy -- until a couple days ago.
Marvin Harrison, a Philly native, was home for the off-season, laying low and staying up on a few local businesses he owns. He was in one of his sports bars when a man walked in whom Harrison had had problems with before. The two got into an altercation -- although one witness has allegedly said Harrison just beat the shit out of the other guy -- that spilled into the parking lot. Shots were fired and a child in a car was grazed.
Fast-Forward 20 minutes and the cops show up at another one of Harrison's businesses, a car wash a few blocks away where Harrison has moved on to, to ask a few questions. Harrison told the cops he owned a gun but it hadn't ever left his house. Unfortunately, the gun was found later on, stashed in a bucket at the car wash. Even worse, the gun had recently fired off seven rounds -- the same number of shots fired at the sports bar. The gun is a specially made Belgian hand gun that fires .50 caliber rounds. Jesus Marvin, were you planning on hunting elephants with your hand cannon?!?
With the leagues new no bullshit attitude towards off the field isues Marvin should be expecting a Roger Goodell beat-down in the near future.
