Philly Sports Anchor: There Was a Hit on Harrison
Gangs, NFL May 7th. 2008, 6:15pm
File this one under, Save it for your anonymous bog, dude: A Philadelphia TV sports anchor went on a Florida radio station last night and made some wild, unsourced claims about the puzzling Marvin Harrison case:
- the man who was shot in the hand went to the bar to put out a gang “hit” on Harrison
- the hit was payback for something Harrison’s father did in prison
- there are people to do ‘whatever is necessary’ to keep Harrison from facing the chargers
So far, none of it checks out. Thing is, we wouldn’t be shocked if there’s a kernel of truth in here somewhere. But it sounds like the anchor is just speculating.

Now that would be a hell of a movie. I would even see that at the theater.

I saw “philly sports anchor” and “wild, unsourced claims” and just assumed it had to be Howard Eskin. SHocked that it wasn’t.

Does this make Harrison a Cobra Kai?

Assuming you guys are west coasters … we’re putting together a ‘comments edict’ that will hopefully clear up some of the issues some folks were having with commenters. Don’t worry, it’s nothing over-the-top, but yes, i expect some backlash.

give us a hint on what it will be like, TBL

And is there food involved?

They will clean up all your talking in a manner such as this
They will make you take a tinkle when you want to take a piss
ANd they’ll make you call felatio a trouser friendly kiss
Is the plain situation
There’s no negotiation
with the fellows at the freakin FCC

I have a doctor’s note that says I am Certified Tourrettes.

And you should listen to him too, he’s a Pre-Med
May 7th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
@Romo: I thought he was Pre-Law?

What’s the difference?

TBL, you gotta make these announcements like they do in big business–make it at Friday around closing time so it gets buried over the weekend and any heat gets thrown at the poor weekend schlub.
This lack of foresight is why you’re still driving a ‘97 Mazada.

A sweet ass 97 Mazda

Why should Marvin not play against San Diego?
May 7th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
@Jax22: nice eye
Then again remember he had a huge fumble against the Chargers in the playoff loss last year.

I don’t do well with rules and structure.
So can we name the rules after someone, cough irish cough, like the Roy Williams or Allan Houston Rule.

nothing major, but we really want to expunge all personal attacks
May 7th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
I really need to read a thesaurus.
May 7th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
I’ll attach YOU with a personal sponge
/ Gives up
May 7th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
i feel like the personal attacks are very minimal here

“- the hit was payback for something Harrison’s father did in prison”
watched a piece on NFL live today that was aired in 2006 on OTL about marvin harrison. They said his father died when he was two…now i understand a payback is a payback, but 30+ years later?

you mean we can’t buy a boat using another commenter’s identity?!?!?!
The terrorists have won.

although it’s probably not a popular sentiment, I’m all for a general decoursening of commenting around the blogosphere. Of course, I am old (or at least outside the 18-34 demo).

@ Odessa: There were no flowers involved, so it couldn’t have been Eskin.

@ TBL: It’s these attempts to discourage personal attacks that indicate you are a hooker. If you weren’t such a bad person, I wouldn’t have to say these things.
Meh. Ad hominem attacks really just murder the credibility of the person making them. Online bullies are probably the lamest thing this side of Eight Belles.
