| | Scout.com: Column: Defending Joey Harrington |
 | | And after four tumultuous, forgettable and pathetic seasons, Joey Harrington finally figured out that even he, the golden boy from Oregon, couldn't save an organization that has only flirted with mediocrity, never approached greatness, and shrouded so far in self-doubt and cynicism that "hopelessly lost" might be mistaken for a compliment. |
 | | When given the opportunity, Harrington declined to criticize the troubled receiver, saying that it would only put him on par with that of cornerback Dre' Bly -- who violated the cardinal sin in team sports by calling Harrington out publicly after Mariucci (a close friend of Bly's) was fired. |
 | | Joey Harrington only gave Marinelli the option of bringing him back because he was still under contract, and was determined to honor that contract through if that is what Marinelli wanted. |
