Well, you guys may as well cut TJ Ward now. With the rules changes they are proposing an enforcer type in the secondary will be rendered useless. All the bitching and moaning the xxxxs in this country, especially within the Browns fanbase, looks to be causing the league to crack down on "devestating hits". That means even if a hit is 100% by the rules legal,the player can be suspended if he hits too hard.
This is the fukkkking destruction of the NFL as we know it, and you clowns are sitting around applauding it. We should all have fun talking smack on which one of us has the better flag football team for the next decade. This shit is knee-jerk reaction at it's very worst.
Destruction of the NFL, and we are all witness!

YEP AND YOUR COACH IS GOING ALONG WITH IT! HA!!!
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin favored stricter enforcement of helmet hits.
"I'm all for player safety," Tomlin said Tuesday. "I think it is the proper initiative that the NFL has. I think we need to safeguard the men that play this game to the best of our abilities and make it as safe as we can.
"We've used words like flagrant and egregious and lowering the strike zone and those are words you use as a coach to make sure you're playing within the rules ..."
Tomlin, however, still thinks Harrison's tackle on Massaquoi was legal.

If the NFL is getting to sissy for you, there's always UFC.
EDIT.....
:lol: you guys may as well cut Harrison- that's if the goon doesn't quit first. I ain't said squat about hits too hard, and neither has anyone else for the most part. The league is justifiably going after unnecessary kill-shots before it winds up with another Darryl Stingley on it's hands. Ahem- there's guys who would rather make the highlight reel on ESPN for blowing a guy up than bothering to make a sound, fundamental tackle. Oh and I've seen it happen where the guy launches himself, the offensive player manages to bounce off, and it's six.
Especially Browns fans? Bulls**t. This isn't just Browns fans POed about Harrison. I'm sure Ravens fans are equally up in arms about that sucker blow to the head on Todd Heap. I live in Bengal country, and rest assured, they haven't forgotten the cheap shot Hines Ward delivered that busted their guys jaw. Obviously you haven't been watching ESPN lately- this is NATIONAL news. Or you guys are just in denial. Just wait until Benny Boy or another marquee Steeler player gets knocked out for a couple of games with a similar shot- and I can guarantee you trolls will be singing a different tune.

and for those who don't know the difference between a tackle and a 'devastating' hit:
TACKLE
DEVASTATING HIT

First, let me congratulate the browns on finding a keeper at QB. McCoy looks to be the first good QB the browns have had in about a decade. Secondly, every browns fan, including everyone on this board, gets down on their knees and prays every night that their team will find a linebacker like James Harrison. Period. And I know for a fact that every one of you would be singing the praises of such a player if he was a Brown. What Browns fan's heart doesn't go pitter-patter when they see footage of Jim Brown concussing players with forearm shivs? You all do. Admit it. What browns fan doesn't chortle at footage of Turkey Jones dropping Terry Bradshaw on his head? You all do. Admit it. Who among you didn't pump their fist when TJ Ward laid a stick on Mendenhall with 3 min left in a game that was already over? You all did. Admit it. So what's Harrison's crime?- The same crime that is committed on your team twice a year since forever. He was bigger and stronger, hit like a truck, and he wore black and gold.

Where are the "fair hit" chumps now?Let's hear it.
Sooo wait because the league fined him the hit was heinous? The league fines everything now. Once again frame by frame the Mo-mass hit it was his shoulder not his helmet that knocked Mo-mass out. How many of you have even played competitive football? You are taught to hit under the chin/upper mass. It's ingrained! very earlier in the competitive process. You then add in physics with speed, weight and burst and there isn't a TON a defender can do to alter body positioning. Ad a defender you don't want that guy catching the ball so you try and jar it loose. You all are a bunch of god damn babies. If A steeler got laid out and I watched it frame by frame and saw the evidence I'd say the same. It's the NFL, not two hand touch. Guys are going to get smacked. Funny against the Bengals most of you were applauding Wards hit on Shipley because it sent a message but when Harrison does it no dice? Make up your xxxxing minds. It's because two of your Browns got knocked out of the game. Flip the script and it's a non-issue. The hits weren't dirty and no I wouldn't sing a different song if it were Ward/Wallace/Are or someone else sidelined. IT's FOOTBALL!
Keep crying girls.

I've never seen so much whining from Browns fans in my life. You'd think Harrison pulled out a gun and shot Cribbs and Massaquoi on the spot judging by the non-stop crying going on. If the Browns thought the shots were cheap, they should have taken care of it on the field. Are they afraid of the big bad bully James Harrison? Or that 5'11 200 lbs receiver that has been terrorizing Cleveland for a decade now? Cleveland hasn't had an intimidating player on defense since they came back in 1999. Rogers was the closest thing to that and was responsible for countless late hits on the QB that you guys all celebrated.
The thread starter acts all high and mighty, yet he had an avatar of Roethlisberger down on the ground and injured before changing it yesterday. A couple weeks ago everyone was defending and bragging about TJ Ward. You guys all loved it when the Browns knocked Ben out of the game a couple years ago and when he had his motorcycle crash. The majority of you are nothing but hypocrites. So keep on harping about the big bad Steelers. Nothing's going to change the fact the Steelers have dominated the Browns for the past decade, and will continue to do so because of their strong management. The Steelers have fielded perennial playoff contenders for close to 20 years now.

Hey Steeler fems ... told ya so. Which one of you cliamed to have an NFL official in your back pocket and just knew for sure that he wouldn't receive a fine? Where is the 'my shit don't stink' attitude now? Douche.

Pittsburgh Steelers LB James Harrison fined $75,000 for hit on Browns WR Mohamed Massaquoi
Published: Tuesday, October 19, 2010, 4:45 PM Updated: Tuesday, October 19, 2010, 4:48 PM
Tony Grossi, The Plain Dealer
CLEVELAND -- Earlier in the day, Ray Anderson, NFL vice president of operations, admitted the game officials blew it by not penalizing Steelers linebacker James Harrison for his high hit on defenseless receiver Mohamed Massaquoi in Sunday's 28-10 Browns loss in Pittsburgh.
By afternoon, the other shoe dropped. Harrison was fined $75,000 for the hit by the NFL office.
Harrison's fine was the largest of those given out to players in an eventful weekend of devastating hits. New England safety Brandon Meriweather and Atlanta cornerback Dunta Robinson were fined $50,000 each for their illegal hits.
Harrison's fine was larger, reports said, because he was a repeat offender.
No players were suspended.
In an interview with Peter King of SI.com, NFL Vice President of Operations Ray Anderson said the hit on Massaquoi should have drawn a penalty.
"That call should have been made," Anderson said to King.
Had an unecessary rougness penalty been called on Harrison, the Browns would have had a first down at the Steelers' 41-yard line with 1:55 to go in the first half. They were down at the time, 7-3.
