    well either i am gay, in wich case this isn't much of an insult, simply fact.......while you're showing yourself to be completely ignorant and discriminitory.

    or i'm not gay and you calling me gay shows that you know i'm not or else it wouldn't be an insult.

    i won't tell you either way, i'll just let your brain try and comprehend that catch 22 and hopefully you'll stroke out.

  • but as i stated before, if mack had some testicular fortitude he would have confronted Harrison on the field and not in the media like some internet

    tough guy.

  • Harrison, who threatened to retire after the NFL’s crackdown, was fined for his tackle of Browns receiver Mohamed Massaquoi(notes), who suffered a concussion. He also had a hard hit on former college teammate Joshua Cribbs(notes).

    On Friday, Cribbs told his friend not to change the way he plays, and that Harrison’s job is to simply “knock people out.”

    Cribbs, who played at Kent State with Harrison, believes he helped persuade Pittsburgh’s big hitter not to retire.

    I'm glad at least one Brown is an old school tough guy that likes to play football.

    I guess like the Bible says "to forgive is Divine"- but that shot could have broken your neck Josh. And show me the object was to "try and knock players out of the game?"

    Old school tough guy? Hey, I'm real old school- so old I even remember when these were LEGAL. So here's the new rules of Arena Ball (as in Roman Colosseum). The Rosters will be expanded to 100 players- the following will be permitted. Head Slaps, other flagrant blows to the head, spearing. Grabbing the facemask is allowed and encouraged. Crackback and chop blocks are fine. In addition to the current scoring rules, One point will be given to the defending team for each horse collar tackle. Three points will be awarded for each opposing player knocked out of the game, and that will increase to six if it is the opposing team's quarterback. Current timekeeping will be retained, except in the event of a team being able to cause an opponent fatality, in which case the game will be declared over, and the team causing the fatality being declared the winner, regardless of score.

    FYI, Glad you brought up testicles- Mack got flagged for retaliation earlier in the year when a KC Harrison wannabe tried to rip his family jewels out of their sockets.

    Considering how lousy that game was being called, I'd say it was a smart decision.

  • it doesn't make any difference to steeler fans who like to hang out here. they will run off a list of players that disagree. they'll bring up it's football and blah blah blah. they'll say ben didn't do anything wrong because he was never charged. in other words they will never admit to any wrong doing by any of their players. it's like they signed an agreement for being thick-headed and deaf, dumb and blind as long as they root for the steelers.

    oh BTW harrison is back at practice. so much for his threat to retire............too bad. goon. i knew he liked spears.

    Without the last sentence you coulod be talking about the Steelers fan reaction to Pig Ben's reoccuring problem. You forgot to add one more thing that Steelers fans say to trump all arguements, "Who won six rings?"

    There are a dozen or say players that prove the $75,000 check was wrong. What's your point? both sides of the issue have evidence for support. You can't just ignore the other sides while saying all of use is proof.

    To me this is bigger than one fine for Harrison. The only dirty hit this past weekened was the one on Heap. No other player should have been fined. I for one don't want a game where players get suspended for big hits, that aren't dirty......And before you start whining about Harrison's hit being dirty answer tyhis one question. Who has the more right and credibility to decide where the line for legal or illegal should be drawn, fans or the players who actually are effected by these rules.

    When you try to say Steelers fans support Steeler players no matter what you come across as a whiny idiot. Must Steeler fans I know show more loyalty to the actual team as opposed to an idividual player. If a player is hurting the team in any way we want them dealt with accordingly.

    OK, Spunky go watch the video the NFL sent to the teams, and keep on singing your erroneous tune. No more shots to the head, always been the rule. The Refs blew the call on the Massaquoi hit, and the League office said so. End of story. Notice the only thing Browns fans have said about TJ Ward is he led with his shoulder- and that doesn't matter anymore. Your boy can't headhunt anymore, sorry about that.

    Again, you people who obvious have no ability in reading comprehension, it's not me saying it, it's the NFL players. It's your own players. Don't think by ignoring this fact it will go away.

    Again, you people who obvious have no ability in reading comprehension, neither me nor none of the are supporting cheap head shots. Goodell threats to suspend players for any helmet-to-helmet contact. As long as the league remains tackle football helmet-to-helmet contact will happen. Players don't want to be suspended for playing tackle football.

    I don't know if you guys are doing this on purpose or honestly don't understand, but what you guys are trying to criticize me for isn't even my point of view. I've always been against cheap head shots on defenseless receivers. What Goodell wants to do goes far behind just punishing those kind of hits. Both me and players all over the NFl don't want those types of plays punished.

    Accusing me of wanting all head shots legal or wanting intenional head hunting just makes you guys look stupid because I've never said anything like that.

    It's the player's game. They are the ones who are effected by the rules. Why do you guys think your opinions mean more than the actual players?

  • How is it that these squeeler fans can get away with coming here and whining about what we think and at the same time tell us we whine to much? I think im going to open a psychiatrist office in pissburgh. I'll make a ton of money from all these inbred, self centered, cry babies. It's no wonder they gave you all yellow towels to cry into. None of you can take any criticism but you sure can dish it out huh. You trolls would make great dictators.

    Pointing out most of the players in the NFL disagree with what this board thinks is whining? I would make 3 times as much money as you if I open up a school in Cleveland.

    Okay Dr. can you help me with this feeling of Deja Vu i'm having?

  • Cribbs knows that Harrison lowered his helmet to deliver a knockout blow.

    It comes with the territory.

    "In the game, you're not saying, 'Oh, I'm not going to hurt this guy or I'm not going to hit him like this'," Cribbs said. "He's like a heat-seeking missile. I have the football and he's targeting on me. He's not like, 'I've got to hit him properly, let me aim at his legs.' He's just trying to get me down any means possible. And I would do the same. I came at people like that as well, heat-seeking missiles. Cribbs believes he had an impact on Harrison's decision to return to the field after a one-day absence to consider his future.

    "I think it meant a lot for him to hear me tell him, 'Hey man, go out there and play and ball out.' And I told him as well, 'Remember, we play ya'll again, so don't think I forgot. We're boys off the field, but when we step on that field, I don't know you, dog'."

    Cribbs said he didn't suffer any memory loss from the Harrison hit, which came after the Browns' Pro Bowler took off on a running play out of the WildDawg formation. As he neared the line of scrimmage, Cribbs was being wrapped up by Pittsburgh's LaMarr Woodley when Harrison came flying in from the side.

    The league said the shot was legal -- a claim the Browns dispute -- and Cribbs found it within reasonable limits as well.

    "I had the ball and was going down and he came in to clean me up," Cribbs said. "It's his job to try to put me out of the game. If I was a linebacker, you try to knock guys out. That's what linebackers try to do for the most part. You have to follow the rules, but that's their job."

    Harrison was branded a villain by Cleveland fans, and he became the poster child this week for the league's attempt to reduce head injuries.

    Browns center Alex Mack said Harrison was using his helmet the entire game -- and not just on the publicized hits that rocked Cribbs and Massaquoi.

    "If you watch the game film, [Harrison] was doing that to everyone on every play," Mack told The Associated Press. "People would be on the ground and he would try to spear them. There's a play on film where [running back] Peyton Hillis is tackled and he comes up and spears him. It's like you're being cheap, you're being dirty."

    Cribbs said he respects Mack's opinion, but that if Harrison wore an orange helmet and not the Steelers' black and gold, the perception would be different.

    "If [Harrison] played for our team we'd be applauding his efforts," Cribbs said. "I'm just trying to be honest. If he were on our team we'd be rallying behind him, just like his team is doing for him. He plays to knock people out. Wouldn't you want a linebacker like that on your team?"Cribbs won't change his game because of the league's stricter stance on helmet hits. He believes last weekend's rash of hard knocks around the league was "a fluke." He appreciates what's being done to protect players' safety, but wonders if the league hasn't gone too far, too quickly.

    "They're making the right strides in trying to protect players but at the same time, the NFL's walking a fine line between just changing the game and changing players' abilities," he said. "This is the NFL. Everybody can't play and everybody's not able to play. You have to be able to take these hits and get up. That's why we get paid the way we do. It's a tough sport."
