Marvin Harrison

[DJD]

I hate the fact that Marvin Harrison decided to waste his talent. A couple of things that pro athlete's, movie star's and famous musician's should never be in trouble for are drunk driving (get a driver or take a cab) or unlawful gun posession (hire licensed body guards)! No reason for either to happen!

Isn't it usually the highest profile players that get caught at this stuff? Why? Is it that they are so full of themselves that they feel they can do what they want? Are they really a victim of their own success with too many fans or crazed enemies after them?

Maybe it's just their lifestyle? Hip Hop Gansta packing his Gak ready to cap a sucka who dithrespeck me?

I am very surprised by this, I always thought Harrison was a squeaky clean type, maybe not.

It surprised me, too. It seemed out of character from what the average fan knew about his personality. But I when I stop to think about it, things like this shouldn't surprise any of us at all. Fans put certain athletes (and musicians, actors, famouse people in general...) on a podium because of the press they recieve and sometimes forget that performance and potential don't always equal character. Its really a shame, as much money as many of the famous professionals make (especially athletes, since that relates closer to Marvin), that they don't take being a role model more seriously and make smarter decisions. We have seen so many cases such as this play out in the sports world, it has to leave a bad taste in any true sports fan's mouth...but I guess we should also remember Marvin Harrison hasn't been convicted of anything regarding the other fella's death...as of yet.
