BBS already skewered this Yahoo piece, so I won’t bother going into it more. The piece has lots of problems, most notably the weird assertion that Harrison and Manning didn’t get along (based on some random comment from 2006). What really weird is this line:
Harrison has been deemed to be just as much a diva as a number of other receivers – without the high-profile public displays. That said, it allegedly annoyed plenty of people, which is why the Colts ultimately cut ties with him in the offseason.
That’s just untrue. The Colts cut ties with him because he was due $6 million. They tried to work out a deal. The rumor was that he turned down more money than he was likely to make with another team. That may show he was diva, but it’s no evidence that the Colts were sick of him.
