If there were 5 OT games in week 6 that had a lot of controversy and all of a sudden they're like "we're gonna switch to college football OT rules" after PRo style OT rules for the first 5 weeks, that'd be ridiculous.

But this is different. This is the NFL saying "holy shit, someone in our league is going to fucking die" so we need to make the change RIGHT NOW, not wait til the end of the season like we do on normal rule changes.

Okay, I can understand that. However, if they did that, I'd prefer it if they did it in the "make an announcement that penalties for helmet-to-helmet hits will now be more harsh, potentially to the point of suspension" way...other than Goodell suddenly deciding to increase punishments for it right now without warning. If going into Sunday's games, the punishment was a fine...then guys like Harrison and the dude on Atlanta should be fined. Not suspended because yesterday showed that the threat of fines is in no way a detriment to guys making a shitload of money. Fining a guy like Harrison $15K would be like someone at the office telling me to put a nickel (or maybe a penny) into a swear jar the next time I let the "f bomb" go, so let it be known that these hits will come with SERIOUS punishment...but don't make things retroactive to the week before you made that decision.

Although a part of me is wondering if Harrison ensured he'd be on Goodell's "time to flaunt authority" list with his comments about how if he leaves someone lying, he feels he did his job. Dude...I love you as a player...but every fucking time you open your mouth, I cringe at what stupid thing you'll say.

Wasn't it Harrison that said something very retarded during the Super Bowl week pressers?...can't think of what he said though

Before or after he scored the longest touchdown in Super Bowl history?

Right around the time he punched a guy on the ground

Harrison is the fucking man. I love the dumbass shit he says and how he strikes fear into the other team.

Before...lol

It wasn't even a football comment I think...politics maybe?..hell, I don't know...maybe I am confused.

James Harrison- Baddest mutha fucka in the NFL. I like his quote after the Cribbs hit: ''So much for that Wildcat bullshit''. hahahaaaaa

I don't think any of the players yesterday should be suspended. I think some of their hits would warrant a suspension in the future, but not when the rule is only a fine. Now in week 7, someone makes a bad hit, a suspension should be in order.

We let those fags off the hook.

I totally agree. Tomlin and Lebeau took it easy on them. At anytime they could've put McBoy in the same room as Cribbs and Massquio.

I seem to remember him saying something stupid also. Seems like it was about politics or race. He is a bad ass though. I will admit that.

It was after.

haha...yeah, that is right....stupid yet awesome. I think it was a rather drab week for the media so they only had that little nugget.

It was kind of stupid. Not as bad as I thought it was though.

I think it was the whole "If Arizona had won he would have invited them" comment. No shit Sherlock.
