Then Dungy spoke as if reciting something Harrison had told him: "I'm going to give you everything I've got all the time. I'm going to know what to do. I'm not going to make mistakes. I'm going to be dependable. You can count on me to do my job, but as soon as my job is over, whether it's right after the game or right after practice, I'm going to be the first one dressed, the first one gone. I'm not going to be in any trouble. I'm never going to be anybody you have to worry about being a distraction, but you just won't know where I am."
Now, that is the big question. Where was Harrison last week, and was he involved in a shooting in North Philadelphia near where Harrison owns a couple of businesses? Was he using his gun that, according to the Daily News, produced five shell casings found at the shooting scene, or was someone else?
If Harrison, who has not been charged with any wrongdoing, did shoot someone, why would he risk everything he has? Freedom, money, family, reputation, career - it could all be in jeopardy.
Or not.
The thing is, with professional athletes, rarely do we know much about them. Harrison might guard his personal life closer than most, but even outgoing and verbose athletes can have secret sides.
Harrison is an enigma, always has been. Rarely does he let someone into his confidence. He doesn't talk much to teammates, doesn't do many interviews.
During the season, Harrison lives in an apartment by himself near the Indianapolis airport. He is all business at the Colts' training facility. He typically eats lunch in a media relations office. When Dungy ends practice, Harrison is the first one out the door.
Same after games. He showers. He leaves. He picks up takeout for dinner and doesn't socialize in Indianapolis.
