Marvin Harrison Tale Gets Surreal

Dan Gross reported last week that 6 ABC’s Keith Russell talked about the Marvin Harrison situation on a radio show and didn’t exactly stick to the, um, facts (apparently I missed it on PFT also):

6ABC sports anchor Keith Russell has reportedly supplied wholly unsubstantiated details to a Florida radio station about last week’s shooting linked to Marvin Harrison, the Indianapolis Colts and Roman Catholic football star. [...] According to ProFootballTalk. com, Russell appeared with Jason Jackson on Miami’s WQAM, and said his sources told him that the man who was shot had come to carry out a gangland-style hit on Harrison. According to the Web site, Russell said during the segment that the issue relates to Harrison’s father, who Russell told the radio station was incarcerated.

Harrison’s father is deceased, according to several stories. But, hey, who knows! Maybe his pops is the movie version of the Kingpin and we’ve all been lied to!
