Should James Harrison be suspended?
#21
i watch the video and it happend pretty fast,first time i watched it ,i thought he still had the ball, listen he is dirty but honest the nfl is soft, there are so many bs freaking fines and what not,its a contact sport ,dont wanna get hit move on , not like those guys dont make big bucks as it is.dirty yes, but if he keeps the ball what is it? some guys grow up leading with there helmet, just how it is.he will get his *** handed to him with this fine for sure
Most of the notorious players actually budget an amount of money for fines. If spending 150k per year will give people second thoughts when running your direction, it is probably worth it to them.
As far as thnkning the league is too soft, I think the QBs have to be protected. They are obviously the most important player on most of the NFL teams, and knocking one of them out for the season could completely alter the course of the season. Just look at the Colts without Manning. A cheap shot on Rodgers could destroy their playoff hopes.

Come on guys! this is suppose to be the NFL. At the speed that these guys are moving what do you want these guys to do? I know JH has been playing a bit dirty for a while, but this hit wasn't that bad. You can not get the qb jittery back there without hitting him. It's football.

I agree the fines are chump change.. They pay fine, go on tv say sorry and next week play dirty..
I'm all for contact sport but cheap shots are not called for at all!
Bet if this was texans or cowgirls qb y'all would be really upset!

Well Colt is from UT so its a bit different for me atleast but I don't care who the qb is I'd still feel the same about this situation. I've thought Harrison was a POS for quite some time as is quite a few players on the Steelers roster, they're only second to the Eagles thugtastic lineup.
