Default OT: Marvin Harrison story....

I know a lot of you around here were wondering why this never got more press when it happened.

Unbelievable article - what a piece of crap.

Personally I think he probably did it. That being said....

"Nice reporting and nice writing" -> "Of course, we can never know if its all true or not, but one can easily wonder..."

This is not reporting. Its an editorial piece that is clearly highly influenced by the reporters own thoughts on the case. The first page alone is absolutely ridiculous. It reads like a crime novel. Real reporting doesn't contain lines like

"*Re-created from interviews, court filings, and police reports, and told through the eyes of Robert Nixon."

Personally, I think it looks like its probably going to turn out hes guilty, but until that's decided, any real journalist or real news source wouldn't put out crap like that.

An interesting read? yes. Journalism? no.

Ordinarily I'd think that goes without saying and that GQ is not a news source, but with some of the posters on this board, you just know some people will consider this "report" as if it were a guilty verdict.

who knows exactly what the truth is...what i can say is harrison did something...and that's not the type of guys this league needs

i think its ridiculous guys get off in the nfl...you have a nice job...big company...normal guy...shirt and tie type job..and you do what some of these nfl players do...heck even get arrested on small charges...you're gone...fired....done...don't come back.

you get in trouble in the nfl? suspension, but then, its okay, come on back. i don't get it.

This story alone defines the power of the media. Do you think for a second that if a guy like TO or Moss was involved in something this crazy, that it would be brushed under the rug like this?
