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.
