Apparently, the Colts have granted Harrison is outright release, saving them a few millions in cap space.

I think this release is about 20% financial, 50% due to age/production decrease and 30% due to his off the field issues. Either way, even if Harrison never plays again, I will always remember him, on the field, as a consummate pro. Be that as it may, since I have Anthony Gonzalez in my keeper league, I couldn;t be happier with this news.

All the problems are the same, but you know instead of all the funny, pithy dialogue, everybody is really pissed off and tense. Marriage is like a tense, unfunny version of 'Everybody Loves Raymond', only it doesn't last 22 minutes. It lasts forever."

A future member of the Colts Ring of Honor, a future first-ballot Hall of Famer, someone whose #88 will never again be issued by the Colts, and a class act and gentleman. This marks the end of an era in Indianapolis.

...Having said that, it was pretty clearly time for him to go, anyway; his production due to age had dropped so much that it was hard to justify keeping him around. I think that apart from missing Marvin's on-field presence as a leader, this won't really hurt us all that much from a performance standpoint.

I like Jamaal Charles & the Chiefs over the Ravens. Jets over Colts. Saints over Seahawks, immediately destroying the Pete Carroll vs Mark Sanchez Super Bowl Dream Match. It'll be closer than most expect, but the Saints still win. Eagles over Packers....
