Dwight Dixon, the man who claimed (without any evidence) that Marvin Harrison shot him last year has been shot again

by Brad Wells on Jul 21, 2009 10:41 PM EDT in NFL General

On the heels of ESPN refusing to cover the Ben Roethlisberger "non-story," we continue to dig up ghosts of ESPN shotty work by reporting (via USA Today) that the man who accused Marvin Harrison of shooting him in the hand last year has been shot again, multiple times. Apparently, unlike the incident in July 2008, this one is much more serious:

A Philadelphia man who says he was shot by Indianapolis Colts receiver Marvin Harrison last year has been shot again.

Philadelphia television station WTXF and the Philadelphia Daily News report that 33-year-old Dwight Dixon was multiple times Tuesday. The shift director at Hahnemann University Hospital said Dixon was in critical condition late Tuesday.

Dixon is a convicted felon with a shady past, it seems. Despite his past (he was also recently convicted of a misdemeanor in January of this for lying to police about the shooting in July 2008), we sincerely hope he can fully recover from this.

Just like last year, Marvin Harrison is not a suspect in shooting Dixon. Any comments that suggest he is will get zapped from the site.

Awful story

Even though he has a checkered past, no one deserves to be gunned down like that.

Unless of course, he actually deserved it.

Yeah, so I sold out, do something about it! Like read my site Colts Chatter.

Have we completely ruled out the “magic bullet” theory", i.e., Marvin has either magic bullets or magic hands with which to aim?

I keed, I keed. Seriously though, sucks for that guy.

I don't know about magic "bullets"...

But Marvin certainly has magic hands.

Nice!

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Man, I need a life...

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: This would probably happen to me if I ever won anything.

Seems like the girl who accused Ben was a little different

read this, which is the accusers official court claim. Seems like the girl was promoted to the executive level and was being fast tracked after working at Harra’s for 5 years. What she doesn’t seem like is someone looking for a hand out that would jeopardize her reputation and career to do it. Of course by the time she came out with it that life was mostly a distant memory, but it seems due to something severely traumatizing. One way or another this looks like it will get bigger whether ESPN wants it to or not.

It took my two years to come up with an avatar and sig
and this is the best I could come up with.

I wish Marvin Harrison would shoot me...

I’d totally be like, “Dude, check it out, Marvin Harrison shot me! Isn’t that totally bitchin’?!”

You're Funny.

It’s a sad day for Marvin fans here in Indy, they took his gigantic mural off the stadium facade. It just hit me, he’s gone.

Nooooo...

Not the mural! That thing was awesome! I wished I had gotten a picture of it last time I was up there. I guess I just assumed Marv was going to be a Colt forever. Sad, sad, sad…

and maybe he would autograph it – could get a tattoo artist to make permanent…

Yeah, it could read:

“Sorry about the gunshot wound, I just assumed everyone could catch bullets.”

Good one.

At my house we call him Marvin “the cat” Harrison. Because my cat makes acrobatic catches just like he does. The cats name is Elvis Peyton. I have a thing for southern men.
