The Pittsburgh Steelers excused James Harrison from practice Wednesday as the Pro Bowl linebacker contemplated retirement, according to his agent.
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter says NFL players should be on high alert this week for dangerous hits. Anything questionable is going to get punished. Plus, Schefter updates the latest on the Brett Favre-Jenn Sterger situation.
Harrison's agent Bill Parise said Wednesday his client is "very serious" about retiring after getting fined $75,000 for a hit that knocked Mohamed Massaquoi out of the Steelers' win over the Cleveland Browns. Harrison met Wednesday with Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, who excused his linebacker from the Steelers preparations for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
"We wouldn't joke about this," Parise said. "This is a very serious issue. James is very concerned about how to play football. If James is going to be fined $75,000 for making a legal tackle, then how do you go play football? It's quite frustrating to James, to Coach Tomlin, to me, to everybody."
Asked how real these retirement threats were, Parise said, "We're working very hard to make sure that we make good decisions."

The scary head injuries on Sunday should be all the warning the NFL needs not to expand its schedule to 18 games, writes ESPN.com's Jemele Hill. Story
The NFL that Goodell happily inherited in 2006 is showing age spots and worry lines in 2010. And unless Goodell knows a good dermatologist, it's only going to get worse, ESPN.com's Gene Wojciechowski writes. Story
Asked if Harrison would return to the Steelers on Thursday or even at all this week, Parise said, "I sure hope so."
Harrison said Tuesday on Fox Sports Radio's "Into The Night with Tony Bruno" that he might consider retirement.
"I'm going to sit down and have a serious conversation with my coach tomorrow and see if I can actually play by NFL rules and still be effective," Harrison told guest host Judy McDonald. "If not, I may have to give up playing football."
Harrison was not penalized on the plays that resulted in Massaquoi and Josh Cribbs leaving the game with concussions.

James Harrison has got to be the stupidest NFL player on any roster right now.
I can't play by the rules boss!
What do I dew?
Ima retire. Screw the NFL trying to make me play by its rules. I can't play like that.
What a crock and little whiny child this guy is. Sucks I know but the 75k is a message to Mr. Headhunter. Welcome to the 2010 Goodell NFL Mr. Harrison.
Can't hack it? Get your jacket !!
You'll be back, sadly.

I think i can kind of agree with him but not for the same reason, but the reason he should be quoting, the NFl's use of the word intent.
OMG this has gotten the Cowboy base in a furor with the intent on celebrations, and yes the NFL should be exposing the refs on this, BUT THEY ARE NOT.
Now the NFL is going to impose a new rule, and using the word INTENT. And whos intent is this going to be ruled on by? Thats my issue. And if that does become the issue, how long til there is no tackling?
Our guys are going to get bigger, equipment is going to get stronger, so the target becomes at least for me the word INTENT.
And than my second question is why is anyone allowing Goddel WHO flagrantly tossed out the NE evidence and who has not been consitent wtih any punishment and this is the guy you wnat to listen to over this?
I have problems from the get go.
