Dwight Dixon–the man who accused NFL receiving legend Marvin Harrison of shooting him in 2008–was found leaning against his car in Philadelphia yesterday morning. With seven bullet holes in his body. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Although eyebrows raised yesterday when word leaked that Dixon was shot on Girard Avenue near 28th Street, just two blocks north of Harrison’s bar, Playmakers, investigators said they had no evidence to suggest Harrison’s involvement and had no suspects, sources said.

Dixon’s attorney said that he hoped to visit Dixon in the hospital today. “I have no idea what this could be about,” he said. The attorney said that he and Dixon are pursuing the civil suit they filed last fall against Harrison over the shooting. via.

The suspect was identified as a 6-foot black man wearing a hooded sweatshirt, jeans, and white athletic shoes. What a promising lead. And by the way, Dixon’s civil complaint was reported by ESPN before charges were ever filed. I felt like I had to get that in there.

It’s too bad Harrison wasn’t a white quarterback playing for the defending Super Bowl champs. One suspects that such standing would have made his life a little easier. Not that Harrison was the one that got shot seven times…but you know what I mean.

The Indianapolis Colts got their Super Bowl rings in a private ceremony, and they are symbolic works of art.

"It's more than a fine piece of jewelry," said team owner Jim Irsay, who issued about 275 of the rings to players, coaches, other members of his organization and a few close acquaintances at a private ceremony Wednesday evening at the posh Indiana Roof Downtown. "It represents so much more." 

There's the word "Faith'' on one shank, or side, of the ring. Faith "gives you the strength to have the perseverance to move forward even after many disappointments,'' Irsay explained. 

"Faith," as it turns out, is also Peyton Manning's and Marvin Harrison's favorite George Michael song.  They just can't believe he turned out to be gay.  I mean, who saw that coming? 

There's already been plenty of talk about how Snickers promoted its dudes-kissing ad by having NFL players watch it beforehand and taping their reactions. And finally, it's been YouTubified.

Check out Marvin Harrison: "Mm mm mm mm." That's exactly what I said. Except I wasn't wearing pants.
