From catching cases to catching bodies




I'm sure some of you are familiar with or have at least heard of Marvin Harrison's suspected involvement in two related shooting incidents; one in which Robert Nixon, a low-level drug dealer, and a 2-year old boy were injured, and another in which Dwight Dixon, also a drug dealer, was shot and later died from the injuries.

GQ recently ran an article about the ongoing case and, although extremely biased against Harrison, it brought up some interesting points. For one thing, that Harrison's two half-brothers Markwann Gordon and Marvin Woods are currently serving 140 years and a life sentence, respectively. He also has two cousins that have been involved in illegal activities including robbery, drug possession and illegal firearm possession. By no means do these facts alone suggest that Marvin is guilty, but more so they make his rise to one of the NFL's all-time great receivers all the more spectacular; that he was able to resist the temptations of the streets growing up and succeed as a professional athlete. Whether or not those temptations finally caught up to him are up for debate, but read the article and see what you think.


It's been a minute since I posted up some greenery, so here's what I've been working with lately

A majority of the time I drink nothing but water, milk and OJ but this shit right here...quenches that dry-mouth thirst like nothing else
