Pretty funny before the NFL became the National Pussy League....NPL.....neither of those hits would have even been considered a penalty.....just the way it is......
please do not let homerism confuse what happened on these plays in neither case was Harrison going head hunting.....but rather trying to make a play
This whole bS may result in destroying the NFL....because if defense cannot play and offense is unabated....concepts like the DAWG POUND are obsolete
which may be a good thing for the Browns since we have no offense

Anyone who has a similiar veiwpoint as Hillis or Scott F. would love the top video on this link.
For those of you who honestly disagree (and not just whining because you hate Harrison and could care less you are being unfair or hypocritical about this topic) with those two don't watch it because it has a former NFL player strongly opposing Goodell's suspension threats and fines.

I love big hits ... but it is very easy for me to believe that 80% of the knock-out hits could be easily avoided. Of the seven or so reviewed hits this past weekend, all but maybe one of them could have easily been avoided and just as effective to the outcome of the play had a proper tackle been applied.

Upset Harrison leaves Steelers practice
FOX Sports
This time, James Harrison sacked himself.
The unhappy Steelers linebacker was excused from Wednesday's practice after meeting with coach Mike Tomlin about the $75,000 fine Harrison incurred for a helmet hit on a Browns receiver. Tomlin felt Harrison needed time to cool off.
Harrison was so upset with the fine - and the NFL's stricter enforcement of dangerous hits - that he said he was weighing retirement, although Tomlin expects him to practice on Thursday.
''I thought it was beneficial for him and for us if I gave him a little time to cool off and give him the day off,'' Tomlin said. ''I excused him at that time and we went on and had a productive day. I'm sure he will be back in the building tomorrow.''
Harrison said in multiple radio interviews that he isn't certain that he can keep playing the way he has been taught, now that the league not only is fining players but is threatening to suspend them for flagrant hits. He was fined $5,000 earlier this season for a hit on Titans quarterback Vince Young. Neither of the Harrison hits that drew fines were penalized.
''How can I continue to play this game the way that I've been taught to play this game since I was 10 years old?'' Harrison said on Sirius/XM radio. ''And now you're telling me that everything that they've taught me from that time on, for the last 20-plus years, is not the way you're supposed to play the game any more? If that's the case I can't play by those rules. You're handicapping me.''
The three-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker also said he might retire, although the Steelers don't seem to be taking that threat seriously. If he quit, Harrison would owe the Steelers a share of the $20 million in upfront money he collected when he signed a $51.2 million, six-year contract in April 2009.
Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley also expects Harrison back, saying, ''He loves the game too much, man. He loves it too much.''
Harrison was the 2008 AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year and has a reputation of being one of the league's hardest hitters. His helmet hits about seven minutes apart in the second quarter caused Browns receivers Joshua Cribbs and Mohamed Massaquoi to leave Sunday's game with concussions.
Harrison was fined, but not suspended, for the hit on Massaquoi because the receiver could not protect himself as he attempted to complete a catch. Harrison appeared to launch himself toward Massaquoi and struck the receiver with his helmet.
Tomlin repeated Wednesday that he is convinced Harrison's hit was permissible.
''This is a very emotional thing for James,'' Tomlin said. ''He's a very disciplined and regimented guy who's passionate about the game of football. It bothers him maybe that he's being perceived as a dirty player. He doesn't desire to be. He simply wants to play the game and play it extremely well.''
After the game, Harrison said he tries to hurt opposing players because it helps the Steelers win, although he doesn't try to injure players. Tomlin wouldn't speculate if those comments may have led the NFL to increase its fine. Harrison has since backed off those comments, saying he doesn't try to injure anyone.
The absent Harrison received considerable support from his teammates, with guard Chris Kemoeatu saying that the linebacker's relentless attitude motivates the offensive players, too.
''He is a really big influence to us,'' Kemoeatu said. ''We look up to him and we see his style of play and we want to be like him and hit like him and run like him. I don't know how he's affected by it, but I know he's disappointed. I think he's going to work things out and I think he will be all right.
Told that Harrison was contemplating retirement, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady joked that he hoped it was true.
''I'd love to for him to retire,'' said Brady, who plays in Pittsburgh on Nov. 14. ''If he retired, it would make me very happy.''

If I did my math correct, of Harrison's $51.2 Million Contract, this $75,000 fine is the equivilent to a guy making $55,000/yr getting fined $80 .... which is less than a speeding ticket.
BoHoo ... I can't work today Boss, I'm too upset over the speeding ticket I received making a sales call.

And you wonder why the stereotype of Browns fans being whiny, bitter idiots who say stupid things for the sake of being assinine sticks. Unless of course you were talking about Ryan Tucker, a player who actually takes roids.

All he's trying to do is make himself out to be the victim and its a complete joke in anybody's eyes that isn't a steelers fan

For precautions, I hope Mr. Harrison receives the care he needs and let's pray that the Steelers take consideration of Mr. Harrisons postpartum depression on the day after such a vicious $80 fine. I heard that some women require up to three months off after such an ordeal. Let's all hope that Jimmy can weather these most difficult times.
In ther news, I wonder what he had at IHOP after skipping practice.

He magically has collected $80,000 in fines this season, yet never drew a single penalty flag for any of the infractions.

Really .... So Mike Golic ... Darren Woodson....Trent Dilfer ....Tommy Waddel ... Mark Schlereth are ALL Steeler fans ?? Because they Have ALL Publicly said Harrison's hits were clean. Also Several Prominent ESPN Radio and TV personalities. In Fact , beside Jaworski and maybe one or two other Public NFL Figures I haven't heard ANYONE Said this BS is right. Dumb-asses like you , live in a Bubble or Bitter hatred and Pity. It HAS to suck...

Hmmm... Perhaps because in the REAL World of NFL Football ON The Turf ... they are Playing and Officiation FOOTBALL. Not all this Posing the NFL Headquarters is involved in. You wont be so joyous next time TJ Ward draws criticism... and He will because he is a Beastly Player and players like that ALWAYS destroy. He is a Player....

Funny how Cleveland players have shown support for Harrison for both of his hits.
yeah, well they are wrong. just like you. just because they play for the browns doesn't mean everything they say is right or smart. we'll leave that to you guys and your players who you defend through thick and thin.

You're a moron. It's the principle of the matter not the money. It's changing the game. Go watch Mark Slereth's rant via ESPN. He throws the league under a bus, runs it over and backs over it again and it's deserved. The ruling is ridiculous and I haven't heard one player endorse the new ruling. If they want to protect players they shouldn't consider extending the NFL season two games.
AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month) -
Funny in those 2 College videos not a WORD about the "Terrible" Dirty ...Hits ! Yet no different that the weekends events. NFL Going insane man... America home of the Soft ??? I Hope not....

dude are you even smart enough to understand? i said i agree with what the nfl is doing to prevent helmet to helmet hits. if you don't fine. if most of the players don't fine. what would you tell little timmy when his hero hines ward is folded up like a cheat suit on the ground looking like a dried up raisin getting carted off the field, only to find out he'll never walk again. little timmy sees him on the sidelines in a wheelchair being operated by a tube in his mouth. "Oh timmy, it's football. it's just the way it is. there is no way to make it safer by banning helmet to helmet hits. but let's go get hines's autograph. oh wait.......... HE CAN'T MOVE!!!!!!" man i'm up on current events. i know most players don't agree with it. so what? most of them can't even speak the english language. do we want them making decisions for us?
