Marvin Harrison, man in underwear shot at in Philadelphia

Former Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison’s again in the news regarding a shooting in Philadelphia.

According to David Gambacorta of the Philadelphia Daily News, the retired receiver was shot at early this morning while coming to the aid of a man in his underwear.

The report says that around 3:20 a.m., Harrison was driving when he was flagged down by a man wearing boxers who was fleeing an apartment, which two men had just broken into. The guy in his shorts asked Harrison to call 911, and Harrison let the man climb into the bed of his pickup.

That’s when the burglars ran outside, and shot twice at Harrison’s truck.

No one was injured, but one of the bullets hit Harrison’s tire, which went flat shortly thereafter. The victim said the burglars stole $500 from him, and apparently scared him enough to eschew pants.

Harrison has been accused of involvement in two Philadelphia shootings, but wasn’t charged either time. One of the men was later shot and killed near a bar Harrison owns.

I just want to know what Marvin was doing crusin' those streets at the crack of dawn. :

The most humble player ever is sure involved in a lot of shootings.

Not sure if he qualified as humble... He just never said anything to anyone, even his teammates.

Sounds a lot like all these new VSN posters.

It's been talked about before, but Harrison is the closest thing to a mafia don in Northwest Philly. I used to live a couple of blocks away from his club, but he also owns between 10 and 20 other properties and establishments in that area (including a soul food restaurant ran by his mother, that is terrible). Could be more now, I haven't really paid any additional attention to it.

Most of the people of the area really like him, because of how he's given back (which is still kind of a ghetto, either way). Also like a mafia don though, he's pretty feared as well.

This just goes to show that trying to assign morality or put athletes down for their "character" is absolutely ridiculous. None of us know these men personally and the sports media ESPECIALLY doesn't ; it makes for a good storyline that someone is humble and a "good guy" but all we know about these men is what they sold us.

Absolutely spot on!

Very true, all of this Marvin Harrison drama is crazy because all I remember is hearing how good of a guy he was. Do we have any of the Indy fans that can attest to that being true or false?

I know it's a different sport, but I gained a lot of respect for Edwin Encarnacion last week. The game was about ready to start, and he was signing for a group of people and walked away. He saw a small group of four kids who weren't any older than seven that couldn't fit their way into the large group, and he signed for those four. You almost have to look for these small stories and eyewitness accounts when the camera isn't necessarily on athletes to see who they really are.
