Head-to-Head Hits & New Rule Discussion

Steeler troll translation:
"It's boxing ! If I can't bite someone's ear off, then what am I supposed to do? Lose because I'm an idiot and can't box intelligently?"
Harrison's fine was justified. And it's fair for the NFL to warn of suspensions for helmet killer hits.
I also think an immediate expulsion from the game should be required for any flagrant helmet spearing, and I don't care
what team that player plays on.
BTW, the "referees" who didn't even throw the flag on a 75,000 dollar fined player? something has to be done about that.
-
OK, sure, if Harrison's hit had happened 2 weeks ago he probably would have only got a 15-20K fine.
But, the NFL was out to make an example, so he and the other 2 just had bad timing.
As I see it the basis of any appeal they make is just that: that similar hits earlier in the year only resulted in those lower fine amounts, so why should we be made to suffer because of some media histeria?
Fair point I guess. And it may get some of those fines reduced.....for now. But, in the future with this 2X4 warning upside the head, the suspensions and fine probably won't be reduced.

Steeler fan translation:
"Harrison didn't even hit cribbs and Momass... it is just a phoney video, you know, like
Star Wars wasn't real, and like, you know, the steelers have won superbowls, so I became a steeler fan
so I can feel like, you know, I am worth like, you know, at least a buck fifty, and I will lie my ass off because
I, you know, like to support my thugball team, the steelers, because I think, you know, pro wrestling is really, really real,
and you know, you Browns fans don't make any sense, you know?"
-
I agree, he's just grieving.
-
Harrison is a cheapshot whining, ignorant beech. go ahead and retire if you can't figure out how to play FOOTBALL instead of THUGBALL.
-
Yea, right.
He'll see whether he can find another job that will pay him several millions dollars per year, and then make a decision.
Hey James, the job market is pretty tough right now.

One of the few that plays the game the way it was intended.....Turkey Joness would be ashamed of all this crying

Turkey Jones visited bradshaw in the hospital and said "I didn't mean to do it" Harrison probably sent a text message that said "I meant to do it"

Can we stop complaining about hard hits! We have been an embarassement because of losing for years, and now because our fan base is crying about hard hits in professional football.
I want Ward to keep hitting in the secondary. We have a hitter now, lets let him keep this opportunity.
This new rule is going to be referred to as the "Browns Rule" that removed the ability of defensive player to play with intensity and intimidation.
STOP THIS DAMN COMPLAINING!

Nobody is saying anything about "hard hits"!! We're saying headhunting with intent to injure has got to go in the NFL. From a medical perspective three of the four hits that made the ESPN highlight reel Sunday had the potential to induce career ending paralysis. The hit on Cribbs, and the hit on Heap snapped their heads back a good six inches. And the perpetrators in both instances had the opportunity to pull up- yet didn't.
This isn't the Roman Coliseum where it's OK to kill the other guy- and if this kind of stuff is allowed to continue, I'll guarantee you sooner or later, it's going to happen.

He is just afraid to come into Cleveland this Dec .

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.

You complain about whining from Browns fan, yet, this entire post is just you whining. So. uh, What's up with that?

how about he invest in his own name brand. something like:
James's Fried Chicken Shack and the tag line could be Try It You'll Like It (or we'll take you out back and beat the shit out of you!!!)
or
James Harrison Chevrolet and the tag line would be See The USA In A James Harrison Chevrolet (if the piece of shit makes it out of pittspuke first) (yes a reference to the old C. Miller ads i remember as a kid)
i mean the world is an oyster and james can just stomp on it to get it open

I know it's your guy's responsibility to hate everything related to the Steelers (which I understand since I do my fair share of hating on the Cowboys); but he's got a point. I don't think he'll do it, but these new NFL regulations are way too vague and leave too much in the hands of people that don't play the game. I don't like them anymore than Harrison.
-
Maybe Harrison will get a job as a Pittsburg police officer, and go around just shooting people.
"HEY, if I can't just shoot people instead of directing them in traffic, I'm considering retiring. This is stupid, why even carry a gun then?"
-
We lost the game................which is more important?
Wow - a smart Browns fan - I cant believe it.
Regarding the fines - James Harrison and Dunta Robinson hits were clean hits. They were playing agressive and against a moving player with the ball - unacceptable politically correct Cleveland bed wetting politics happening with both of those fines.
The Merriweather hit was a terrible head hunting type of hit - he purposely led with his helmet in order to hit Heap in the head - that should have been the only fineable.
Now back to this smart Browns fan - he is correct - YOU LOSERS are laughing and you dont even realize that you are butt of the jokes - as I have said before - YOU ARE F. U. C. K. ING LOSERS! LOL!

Yeah, cause Cleveland controls the NFL, that's how we got all of our prime time games on the schedule this season, jackass.
If we were the laughing stock that you say we are then no one would take us seriously.
But out of the other side of your mouth you say that we have undue influence.
When you try to stand simultaneously at both ends of the see-saw, you know you are making a stretch!
Here's a resource for you ROCKHEAD20, you could use the lesson.

HAHAHAHAHA. This made my night hands down.
Browns 1, Steelers 0.
Don't try to argue back because there is no point now.
We did win the game though, so Browns 10, Steelers 28
I wonder how much he should get fined

Pretty much his style to only go for hits on the defenseless?
Wasn't that a Browns home game? Couldn't he have left dealing with the idiot fan to the Stadium Security or to even a Browns player? He came all the way from off the Steelers bench to perform this act of machismo?
What if he had actually seriously hurt the guy? Despite the guys idiocy it was not his duty to take corrective action, it was securities duty. If he had hurt the guy bad eventually whatever he was pulling down per year would have ended going to the dumbass fan. ( the funniest part is that the guy said the hit didn't hurt at all.).

And multiple criminals and a rapist. Sorry, but you're a product of your environment. That says a lot about Stooler fans.

Most of you should start a flag football league and leave the real game to people like this:

then stop watching football! goodell is doing the right thing, something he had to do to avoid the nfl getting sued for billions when someone finally ended up a vegetable or dead. no one inside the pittspuke area can see that though because they are too busy defending their goon.
hey james, wanna retire? there's the door. thug.

Looks like our local little rockyhead troll isn't happy. so sad. He said there would be no fine, but
there WAS one. A really big one. Guess that MoMass hit wasn't so rockyhead claimed "legal" hmm?
Now, little rockyhead is trying to get tossed off the board in spite, before his steelers lose to the Browns
later in Cleveland, causing them to cry "no fair, if we could have used hand grenades, we could have won. Maybe
they should just suspend all of us steelers because we're so stupid, we only know thugball. This football is just too hard."
Sorry little rockyhead, we're on to play the Saints. Your whining is old news.
But know this - the evil steelers do will follow after them.
