James Harrison has had enough, and goes OFF!

[Yam]

Being that is was Sonny, I'm betting the Over, that it was a bit tongue and cheek.

Possibly. He seems the most rationale of you guys so far lol.

Back to Harrison...............he's 39 years old. He's been playing for 21 years. He's earned the right to be honestly dealt with by his coaches. If you believe what he's aying about asking to be released 4 times during the season and that he was told that the coach had a "role" for him, the he was being lied to openly by the Steelers. The fact is, they didn't want to release him and have him lined up across from them in a future game. My guess is that if they had released him after week 1, he'd be wearing a Ravens uniform right now and the Steelers just might be 10-5 right now or 11-4.

The Steelers are just plain pissed that he wouldn't wait around to see if Tomlin would give him a call. BB told him if signed with the Pats he'd play today against the Jets and would be playing in the playoffs. Harrison asked a simple question. "Got a pen??"

I agree he should have been given a straight answer about playing time.

That said, it doesn't excuse the alleged behavior he had when told no. End of the day they were his employer and if releasing him mid season wasn't in their best interest, he should take it like a man and deal with it.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Hard to be angry with "alleged" behaviour.

I think he took it like a man and will play like one when called upon by the Patriots.

I see this as Tomlin and the Steelers disrespecting him.

My guess is that Tomlin and the staff got togther after the last time Tomlin lied to him and made a decision to just cut him before he "really" caused a locker room problem. There was nothing before his release about him causing any problems, it all started AFTER he signed with the Patriots.

I think he "took it like man". And I think he "dealt with it" as he saw fit.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me four times, Fuck You.

I don't blame Harrison for going to ne one bit.

Which is why I think the Steelers were dumbasses for letting him go.

I believe the allegations bc I don't see why players would make it up. We live in a time where if a guy is done dirty, players will defend him vs management.

Homers will defend it bc he's their guy now.

 

[cheerupcharlie]

Francis wishing his thumb was Brady’s well groomed penis.

 

[jarntt]

He was a Steeler banging around women, he does that here, never stick up for him and dead to me.

Come on. I get that line of thinking about missing meetings or being a malcontent in the locker room or being investigated for steroid use with another team. Or if it was an allegation that he wasn't charged by the Police for, but you make a distinction for being proven to have abused a woman based on the fact that he was not on your team yet? I'm a little surprised Sonny. I honestly have zero issue with rooting for a guy who your team has signed and is playing and helping you win even if he is an asshole. We all have them on our teams and we need them to do well for our teams to win. It just comes off hypocritical to word it like that.

But does anyone think Harrison is still a good player for Pitt to be worried about this? I think the players just thought he was a huge dick and not that they feel he is this good player that will impact the outcome of the season in any way. He just wasn't good enough to get reps and at times even dress. I think this is creating a story line that will be a big issue when they likely meet in the playoffs and its all about a guy that just won't do much. Maybe he even gets a sack or a couple of hits on Ben, but probably abused in the run game too.

Whatever you want to say. You obviously have all the answers.

He will still have a ring of honour or whatever the fuck they call it there jersey in Pitt when all is said and done. And if he doesn't it's their loss.

As Krusty the Clown might have said, he isn't just good, he's good enough. And better than what NE currently has on the menu, which is all that matters.

They should worry about him if the face NE in any situation BB decides to throw him out there in.

 

[dbldwn711]

No, I troll Patriots failures to those who live vicariously through them, like the entire fanbase

There is a huge difference

Uh-huh...

I don't have the answers, just an opinion.

And he will definitely be in their ring of honor. Only way that wouldn't happen was if he pullled a 99yard int return off on Ben in the title game to win it. And even that is unlikely to stop his honor ceremony in Pitt.

 

[handicappers]

Um. Yam = yambag.

I said that myself. Who did he "get me to admit who I was"??

He claims I'm lying, but he's stone cold wrong.

Wrong again dum dum. I said you are lying about an admin hacking your account. No fucking way tha lt happened. Prove it by tagging an admin or shut your face

Mid season From the reports he started asking after the first game. Actually before when he was negotiating his contract.

Listening to you is like watching a very boring ping pong match.

How do you know what happened?

You seen awfully invested in something that has Zippo to do with you.

I was joking about the DV because your fanbase defended the shit out of Zeke here, I said before I have no idea if he was coming in late or sleeping at meetings but he seemed like a quiet guy who loves to play and glad to have him here. If it was say Joey Porter or another loudmouth punk, I would find it easier to believe. I don't tolerate women, child or elderly abusers team even if they are part of my family, let alone the fucking team I root for

Ok, change mid season to any point of this season.
"Allegedly when negotiating his contract"....right?

Don't answer that.

You realize he (Harrison) admitted to hitting his girlfriend, right?
