Harrison's response to suspension, 'LOL!'

Even after he became a star with the Pittsburgh Steelers, James Harrison lugged around the equipment bag from his NFL Europe days with the Rhein Fire until it fell apart. The way the story gets told is that Harrison did it to remind himself how difficult the trip had been. In light of recent developments, it also suggests he has a hard time letting some things go.

Not so fast. The Steelers have already been fined at least 13 times for illegal hits this season. They were also the only team in the league to vote against the new collective bargaining agreement in August, unhappy with the appeals process in place regarding fines and suspensions. It was a pet peeve of Harrison's long before that. After previous run-ins with the league's disciplinarians, he has threatened to retire rather than change the way he plays and called Goodell "stupid," ''a puppet" and "a dictator" in the course of an interview with Men's Journal during the lockout. At the last Super Bowl, he used the stage to taunt the commissioner for trying to legislate against the vicious hits Harrison specializes in.

I, too, think Goodell is a moron and is ruining the league with this pathetic crap he's pulling to take hitting out of the game. Its ridiculous.

That being said, Harrison is an idiot as well. Hard hits are great, and they are most certainly part of the game and for Goodell to take them away is completely asinine. However, the way Harrison just rams his helmet into other players helmets, not even using his arms at all.. is also one of the dumbest things i've ever seen and its idiots like him that almost force these new rules to have to be implemented.

Summary version:

Goodell - moron who is ruining the game

Harrison - moron who is ruining the game

He needs to be ban. Between him always trying to hurt people and the steroids. He doesn't deserve to be in the league.

btw, you guys keep harping on Goodell about the new rules, but I promise you. His hand isn't the only one in motion here. He, by himself doesn't just invent rules. It's the entire league doing this.

Whoever has a hand in it is a moron then.. satisfied? lol

I think we're all aware that its not Goodell by himself, but he's the commish, so the responsibility for all these stupid rules that are coming into effect under his term falls to him.

Don't you know? Scapegoating is always to look no further than the top and stick with it despite facts and mounting evidence.
