Dungy defends Harrison

Marvin Harrison normally comes off as the opposite of self-centered wide receivers, such as Terrell Owens. But some people read into his body language during the Eagles' game, as well as his early exit to the locker room at halftime, as signs of discontent.

Colts coach Tony Dungy defended Harrison on Monday, saying he was "not disturbed" by anything his star wide receiver did.

No doubt Harrison was upset he had only one catch, matching the lowest single-game output of his career. But he remains a hard player to read because he generally doesn't talk to the media and he isn't as visible in other outlets, such as commercials. He always sits at the far end of the bench by himself during games, too, adding to his loner image. The world is full of different personalities, so it's probably best to cut Harrison some slack for his perceived pouting in the Eagles' game. If it becomes an ongoing issue, then Dungy will need to address it.

No opinion on the Colts signing a 38 year old slot reciever? I've questioned management before on some of their decisions and been wrong, but this guy is almost as old as a sports writer for crying out loud. Andy
