Most people were shocked to hear about Marvin Harrison being interviewed in connection with a shooting last week. After all, this is the NFL equivalent of David Robinson being connected to a child prostitution ring. Most people just couldn't comprehend the idea that one of the league's squeakiest goody-two-shoes could possibly be involved in the incident. Well, almost everyone. ESPN's Sal Paolantonio seems to think that Harrison is basically 50 Cent in pads.

The guns bullets were advertised as being able to penetrate...listen to this...48 layers of kevlar [armor] at 50 meters. Now who wears kevlar other than police officers? This gun is designed to be a cop killer.

We'll be the first to admit that we don't know Marvin Harrison from Adam, so it is indeed possible that he committed this crime. We're going to reserve our judgment on that one, but we do have a problem with Paolantonio's comments about Harrison choosing to establish a business in a bad part of Philadelphia. Last time we checked, there's no law against being rich in a poor area, Sal.
