Mystery of "Marvin Harrison to the Bears" Solved

by Dane Noble on Oct 23, 2009 2:20 PM CDT

From the News That Doesn't Matter But Still Interesting To Some Department:

Remember a while back when people were saying that Marvin Harrison was spotted in Lake Forest? Well, Brad Biggs used his super-sleuth skills and figured out what was going on...

It wasn't a hoax. In the light rain at Halas Hall, I just spotted the exact same vehicle in front of the building.

I can promise you that unless he was hiding in the back, Harrison wasn't in the car.

Instead, it was driven by someone Bears fans identify more with No. 95. Yes, Richard Dent, an ex-Colt, had the keys to the vehicle and we had a brief chat before he motored off.

So, the tipster to the radio station was not making something up. It was not a bogus call. Dent played with the Colts in 1996, the second to final year of his career and the year Harrison was drafted by the Colts. He's commemorating that season by using a vehicle with Colts license plates. Go figure.

I wonder if Marvin is still trying to find work, or if he actually come to terms with never playing again...

Quick tidbit on Harrison...

Since the Rams are playing the Colts, I got to hear the Colts media people say that Bill Polian said that Harrison simply asked for too much money, but that the Colts were looking to resign him this year. It never happened obviously, but that may explain why Harrison isn’t signed to date. Even with his off-field problems, someone would take a flyer if he came cheap.

There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

You should practice more...

Your troll-fu is pretty weak.

Be nice. Flag comments that you think are offensive. Use the "reply" button. Drink plenty of water. Compliment others. Rec (wreck) comments and posts you like. Don't call people names. If you don't like someone's comment, attack the comment and not the commentor. Learn the difference in your/you're, then/than, to/too. Exercise. Relax. Stretch often. Find good in the world.

Just because it can be done on Madden NFL does not automatically make it a viable option in real life.
