Get the blinders off guys,Harrison isn't the class-act off the field that you all seem to imagine.Marv has a history of choking kids,he choked a ballboy for the Jets during pregame stuff a couple of years ago.
According to the NYTimes, Marvin Harrison supposedly had his hands around a ball boys neck before the INDY-JETS game.
AST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Jan. 4 — The Jets are looking into a pregame incident involving a Jets ball boy and Colts receiver Marvin Harrison today. Harrison was catching passes from Peyton Manning before warm-ups. Nearby, Jets punter Matt Turk was practicing and the ball boy, Matt Prior, was retrieving balls for him.
Harrison apparently became upset that the punts were sailing near him and Manning, and he confronted Prior, knocking him to the ground, according to Marty Lyons, a former Jet. Lyons, an analyst on the Jets' radio broadcast, reported that Harrison put his hands on Prior's neck before security guards ended the confrontation. The Jets confirmed that there was physical contact between Harrison and Prior and said that the league was aware of the incident.
