I dont think the HOF is supposed to be based on anything but your play. So if that is truly the case I would really want him in even if he continues to do bad things. In my view that would speak higher to the excellent play of Hall of Famers. I would look at like wow everyone in here is in here for one reason. Not because they were great guys off the field, or donated money to charity, or did lots of commercials for NFL Play 60, but only because they tore it up on the field again and again.

Another thing is if a receiver got in while Harrison waited indefinitely, does that mean that this receiver might just be a nicer guy off the field and not a better player than Harrison on the field? In my view that diminishes the greatness of the players in there.

If the HOF is also slightly based off of being a stand up guy and not just a great player then I take all that back, im 100% with you. I wouldn’t want him in either.


If he does get in, which I think he will, what will be a huge question will be does he speak at the induction? Does he even show up? Is he even alive by the time he gets in (I bet he gets killed in the next 7 years).

Irvin got in and OJ was allowed to stay, so I have no doubts this will affect his chances. It may affect the welcome he gets from the fans of other players going in but that's probably about it.

If he starts smoking crack now, that won't keep him out of the hall of fame, he is not in football anymore........

Doesn't keep you out if you did it while still playing.


Being racist doesn't affect it either:

That to me was more of a back handed complement if anything. I think the word racist gets thrown around just a little to much.

Yeah suggesting his greatgrandma had an adulterous affair with a black guy, and that explains his mobility because he sure dont look like a guy who can run. Certainly not racist.

While i agree people love to throw around racism, this is one. Anyone see how Al Sharpton been defending that senator Reid, hilarious.

Irvin wasn't being racist and we all know Irvin is not a racist. What he saying is Romo has some color in his game. I actually found it funny. In this soceity it's OK for a black man to say those things. If a white guy says it he gets fired. It's certainly not right but that's the way it is.

[CrustyRedskin]

What does it say? Mu filter wont open it!!!

[BigHairedAristocrat]

it basically says that harrison is a murder, and that he wouldn't have been able to commit murder if the Philly DA had done her job and arrested him for attempted murder when there was a mountain of evidence against him.

[SolidSnake84]

Wow.....i still have my doubts but this seems pretty cut and dry

[Big C]

we've known marvin harrison was a bad guy for a while now. i had the displeasure if meeting him once in a store. needless to say, not the friendliest person. and after all this crap in philadelphia, really proves what a piece of crap he is.

What exactly happend during the incident?

He got in a pro-longed argument with a drug dealer from his neighborhood and ended up pulling a gun and firing at the guy in his car a bunch of times during which he accidentally shot a bystander. Police investigated, found the weapon at Harrison's garage, where the incident took place, and Harrison swore it had been in his safe at home until the day the police had shown up. Despite a mountain of evidence and the serious disbelief of the police the DA decided not prosecute. So eventually the guy he shot at sued him in civil court and magically that guy got murdered about a block away from Harrison's bar. Sounds pretty clear that Harrison and/or his proxies perpetrated some serious illegal shenanigans and the DA did nothing.
