INDIANAPOLIS -- Marvin Harrison often stood silently in the corner of the Indianapolis Colts locker room. He didnt need to utter a word.The numbers spoke for themselves, and he was content playing the quiet, productive guy in a league full of trash-talking, flamboyant receivers.Harrisons low-key, old-school approach fit perfectly with Peyton Manning in Indy and led the wiry receiver down a Hall of Fame path that ends with Saturday nights induction ceremony in Canton, Ohio.There have been some very, very good receivers, but Marvin was special, Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri said of his former teammate. He was one of a kind.On the field, he was a defensive coordinators worst nightmare.Harrison could embarrass cornerbacks with uncanny hips that made every route look the same. Opponents feared the move while Colts teammates often tried -- and failed -- to emulate it.The Syracuse product looked as comfortable going over the middle as he was going deep, and he had a penchant for making spectacular plays seem routine.After making an incredible stretching, twisting, one-handed grab at Tennessee in 2007, Harrison immediately jumped up and simply waved his teammates down the field. In 2006, at rival New England, Harrison somehow spun around at full speed, tipping the ball to himself near the side of the end zone, and made an incredible double toe-tap that induced a rare spike from him.But the public displays of greatness paled in comparison to what teammates witnessed behind the scenes.We saw that every day in practice, Vinatieri said. Some guys, in practice, may be a little different than they are in a game. But for Marvin, practice was it. He made the effort on every single play.Harrison was as unusual off the field.Throughout his career, he avoided reporters, and even declined pre-induction to the hall interview requests. Some believe that after Colts owner Jim Irsay introduces Harrison, the acceptance speech could be one of the shortest in Hall of Fame history.When his name surfaced in a police investigation following a 2008 shooting in his hometown of Philadelphia, Harrison kept mostly quiet. Charges were never filed.He occasionally discussed the notion of stitching the balls from his touchdown catches together to construct a chair, and he said he never watched film.Yet nobody doubted Harrisons ability to be ready when he laced up his shoes.You earn your paychecks in practice, you play the games for free, Harrison used to say.Perhaps thats why so few could keep up with him.Harrison finished his career with 1,102 receptions, 14,608 yards and 128 touchdowns -- all Colts franchise records. He topped the 100-catch mark four straight times, including 2002 when he caught an NFL record 143 passes, a mark that still stands.He made eight Pro Bowls, was a three-time All-Pro, got a Super Bowl ring after the 2006 season and joined Indys Ring of Honor in 2011. Harrison missed only 18 games in 13 NFL seasons.On Saturday, he will become the first Hall of Famer to spend his entire career in Indianapolis.Hes right where he belongs, former NFL defensive coordinator Rick Venturi said. I always thought he was a big-play guy, and if you made a mistake, he could push that post for six (points) at any time. I worried most about him when they would stretch you out across the board.Manning exposed those matchups, time after time, by getting defenders to bite on play-action fakes. Then the five-time MVP would spin around and usually find his favorite receiver sprinting open downfield.It didnt take Manning long to figure out how well they could play together. Harrison hauled in Mannings first NFL pass and sprinted about 50 yards for a touchdown during the 1998 preseason. Over the next decade, Manning and Harrison developed a bond that allowed them to get on the same page with a wink, nod or glance.Harrison was not re-signed after the 2008 season. By then, Manning and Harrison had become the most prolific duo in league history with 953 completions, 12,766 yards and 112 TDs.He and I just had a good feel for one another. We saw things the same way, Manning said. Marvin could visualize a defense when we were talking on the sideline. He could see it in his head the way I saw it. We didnt have to write things on a board.Inside the locker room, Harrison set an example, too. The young players saw Harrison as someone who worked hard, made plays and carved out a Hall of Fame career without needing a publicity campaign.He never talked much, but he taught you how to be a pro, outside linebacker Robert Mathis said. Every day he went 100 mph, and every day he practiced at the same level, and you just followed his example.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ETwaun Moore Jersey .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch.

Jrue Holiday Pelicans Jersey .com) - Manchester City midfielder David Silva is expected to miss the next four weeks because of a calf problem. There are few things so certain in life as death, taxes and Misbah-ul-Haq facing questions about his future before the final match of a Pakistan Test series. While it is hardly unusual for an international captain to be grilled about their motivation to continue - even Alastair Cook, 11 years younger than his counterpart, was asked similar questions in his press conference - at 42, Misbah knows there are many more Tests behind him than there are ahead.And no matter the result of the match at The Oval, the topic will almost certainly be broached once more at its conclusion; such is the reality of professional cricket life after 40.Misbahs captaincy of Pakistan is arguably one of the most impressive in the history of the game: that he has rebuilt a team in tatters after it was almost ruined by scandal, led them to become one of the worlds best sides despite never playing at home and helped them regain the respect of the international cricket community ensures his legacy will be monumental whenever he does decide to call time on his career.While winning the Investec Test series is now impossible, levelling the scoreline would still be an impressive feather in Misbahs already distinguished cap given the current status quo, in which the disadvantages of playing away from home are so difficult to overcome.Yes, of course, it is a crucial Test for us, Misbah said. A win will square the series and it will be really good for morale, also for the team, and it is very important for me also.Obviously they have the momentum in their own conditions, they are confident but we believe we can come back from any position because this is a do or die Test match for us so we have to really play well.Throughout the series, Pakistan have struggled with the balance of their side. They gaze at Englands allrounders with all the envious desire of a child at a sweet shop window. Their fast bowlers - unused to playing more than three Tests in a series, unfamiliar with the burden of extra overs required in seam-friendly conditions - have been worn down by a grinding England.Somehow, Misbah must find a way to pick up his bowlers and infuse them with the enerrgy required to take 20 wickets and inspire his batsmen, both in-form and struggling, to give him something to defend.dddddddddddd But, having banished thoughts of retirement after the series against England in the UAE last year, he maintained he isnt afraid of any consequences for his captaincy should they fail to square the series.I dont have that sort of fear otherwise I would have retired long ago, Misbah said. I am always up for challenges and never thought of the results. I believe in just looking at the challenges and trying hard.Another daunting Test tour looms in Pakistans near future. After returning to the UAE to host West Indies, they will head to New Zealand for two Tests and then Australia for a three-Test series where the experience of Misbah and Younis Khan, in particular, could be crucial. Misbah has been Pakistans leading run-scorer in England, with 267 at 44.50, but would not be drawn on how much longer he hopes to continue playing.Its really difficult for me to leave the team on these difficult tours, Misbah said. Thats why Im here on this tough series. Ill be looking forward to that [Australia tour], but lets see how it goes after this series, and how I plan my future.That could be really hard for someone young - even as a batsman to replace me in Australian conditions - and obviously it would be a challenge for a young captain.Of course, there will always be challenging tours and series and, no matter when Misbah does decide to move on, he will leave an enormous crater for Pakistan to fill. But, in the meantime, there is The Oval, there is a chance to level the series and there is the possibility - albeit a slim one - that Pakistan could become the No. 1-ranked side in the world for the first time since the implementation of ICC rankings.I will keep trying throughout this Test and if Pakistan needs me afterwards, thats another point. I will think about that after the series but for the moment this is important for me and the Pakistan team. I will just go about this Test match. ' ' '
