Made him look like he ran the streets late @ night doing who knows what. Its not right to judge someone based on that, agreed. But we know what image that presents. You don't equate that look w/school teachers, doctors, wallstreet mavens, firemen, accountants.... family men..........

That wasn't my point. My point was, years after not seeing him on ESPN for causing trouble, not seeing articles posted here talking about him getting in trouble, how can you still consider him a thug?

How can you consider Marvin Harrison a stand-up guy now?

What I found interesting is the article linked in the article. About how when Edge needed to get his game back, he started training at crazy hours of the morning. And, according to him, the only people up then were crackheads. So he'd give them 20 bucks and buy them breakfast and they would train with him for the day. Kinda crazy, kinda cool.

"Made him look" as in past tense.

It's already been established that everyone in the thread considers him a positive role model and stand up guy.

The whole issue, right or wrong, is that it was perception based off appearance.

Did you just hear that?

That was the sound of his point flying right over your head.

I already responded to you 2-3 pages back.

The comment you just quoted was a response to grunt.
