Even Rodney Harrison Thinks James Harrison Is An Angry Person
"That's what we're told by Coach LeBeau — blow through the guy, not to him. When the fines came down he said, 'Don't change a damn thing.' You're doing it the way we do it on this team."
This statement says nothing about allowing hits to the head, it says "Blow thru them", not hit them high in the helmet.
Trolling ? I point out where you're completely wrong and you come back with this?
Why does this matter?
The receiver pulled Harrison off the ground too right, that's why the infamous picture of this hit Harrison is in the air superman style? That's what's wrong with the hit.
Refs aren't going to see everything, and Ben extended so many plays I assure you you'd much rather have gotten what you did rather than having him called in the grasp or sacked the number of times he pulled out of it and made a play.
Ngata was fined for the hit that broke his nose, one of the two fines that I found with all of 3 seconds on Google. Don't know if there were more.
Clearly all reasons to call your boss a (gay slur), a puppet, a dictator, a crook, etc.
Peter King pointed out tonight who it was that knocked on Goodell's door and with news that he had become the commissioner - Art Rooney. He expects at least a 1-game ban imposed by Rooney even if that first game is against the Ravens.
Steelers fans would love for this to be about the NFL rather than their man preaching to a reporter like he's at a hate group rally.
Hey guy, if the guy is not tackled, he's not tackled, that doesn't mean it's OK to hit the guy in the helmet.
Just because your wimpy D guys can't tackle him, thats not HIS fault.
Learn to tackle.
I agree with everything Rodney Harrison said ....
However, I think there are PLENTY of football players that you can call "Angry"
thats what it really comes down to. tackling in today's NFL is non existent. you don't have to go back too far. 80's and yes even the very early 90's you would still see tackling. now its all about launching yourself against the opposition. lets get back to tackling. any fool can launch themselves against another player. what harrison needs to realize is that the commish doesn't really have to do any of this. he could've said Fu** it and continue to allow the escalation in the amount of concussions that we've seen the last few years. but he like many of us realized its getting out of hand. non of us can say that when there was more tackling it was a wimpy ass game. it wasn't. quite the contrary. i think it was more violent in the old days of the NFL. but there were less concussions due to defenses actually tackling an offensive player. so players like harrison who are refusing to adapt to the rules are going to have a hard time in the NFL because there's no going back on this one. yes i agree he was singled out. i also remember him saying after the first fine last season that he will continue to get fined because he wasn't going to change his style. didn't he throw out there somewhere about retirement due to this? he has a huge mouth and he F***ed up once again by saying the things he said which have been repeated already enough times in this thread. my personal opinion of harrison is that he's a moron. the steelers imo have better players on that roster than harrison. he's not no ray lewis either. there's another guy that when he opens his mouth i don't see any excrement spewing out of it unlike harrison. yet if ray lewis can adapt to the rules put in place for their own safety then surely anyone else can do it.
i love the NFL because its a violent game. we love the hits. but i don't want to see players get their brains all fu**ed up due to unnecessary launching like some kind of super hero. concussions will never be completely taken out of the game because injury is inevitable in a game like this but it can be controlled. 4 or 5 concussions in one week is a sign of this issue being out of control.

i agree with him too jim. if there are other players like you say "angry" at least they are not calling all this attention up on themselves. he needs to zip it
Eisen was on Dan Patrick today, and addressed the racism accusation... Just goes to show how poorly thought out the comments by Harrison and others like Polamalu are.

Once AGAIN ....
I never said I agree with what he said about the stuff your talking about,
I'm tired of REPOSTING it, go back a few pages and see what I agreed with,it's easy, it's like the second or third post in the thread.
thats one of the things i really like about ben. the way he can extend a play despite the circumstances
When did Polomalo get in this conversation ?
He's not quoted as saying any of this, at least that I know of.
Apparently you need to read the thread too. You even quoted and replied to me about it. Wow.
How does THIS comment make Polomalo part of this rant that Harrison made ?
Though Polamalu was quoted as saying he didn't understand it was fair that Goodell could give out fines that he then oversees, so if the players don't even understand the process I guess it's OK that many fans don't.
This is ALL I found that Troy has said.
As Eisen explained, the fine process is more than Goodell being judge jury and executioner. Polamalu did not understand that then and fired off his mouth, Harrison, who has recent significant firsthand experience with the process apparently still doesn't understand it as he labeled a process that involves more black people than white biased towards blacks.
For the players to not understand the fine and appeals process doesn't surprise me at all.
WHEN did Goodell set up this appeals team ?
We need to find that out, I don't think it was that way at the START of the season, could be wrong, but you would think that when the whole issue started, Goodell would have pointed that there were others involved right from the get go, so I think maybe it hasn't been that way very long.
Your answer is linked to in the Polamalu article. Like you, I'm not going to repost the same thing over and over for when you finally decide to read it. That information is linked to in the article posted yesterday.
