James Harrison, who I already know is an idiot, can't keep his mouth shut. He complains about Roger G, his QB, and the Patriots stealing signals in the 2004 playoff game which he didn't even start and was way down on the depth chart. What a freak'n idiot!

I can't wait for any Steelers troll on this board to try and defend this human piece of garbage for this. You know, this guy could play for the browns and it wouldn't make a difference, I'd still abhor the guy. He's a dirty, thug player who is an absolute idiot on and off the field. It's a shame that a guy like this makes millions of dollars, it really is. I mean I don't like people, but jesus christ these comments. This guy is a huge black eye on the steeler franchise, I'd be embarrassed to have him as a part of my team. IDC what the talent level is.

I said last year when he got fined so much that it was because of his mouth more than his play. When you come out and say: "I'm looking to hurt people" you put a target on your back. This just made the target ten times bigger.
Although I don't necessarily have a problem with people speaking out against the league, I think that it needs to be done the right way. You take little jabs and make innuendos. You don't come out guns blazin' like this. You also don't throw two of your teammates under the bus like he did either. That is the biggest problem I have with his statements. What a dumbass.

It's Men's Journal not Men's Health.
Really, does this surprise anyone. Harrison is a bigmouth and an a-hole but more than that I seriously think the guy has the intelligence and the understanding of small child. Dumb things come out of the mouths of dumb people.
-
The sad part is that this guy is a "home boy". He went to high school almost within walking distance of where I sit right now. Of course, Coventy HS has never been known to be a bastion of academic excellence. When I was in school nearly everyone from Coventry seemed to be a greaser or motorhead.

What a dip shit. I love that he dividing the lockerroom though.
Ruining threads since 1897. -
And for all his hot air, what will it really amount to?
As for his teammates, if the Rooney's don't cut him, you'll hear Ben issue a statement to the effect "I'm upset with the interceptions I threw in the Super Bowl too. I put the defense in a bad spot. James was just blowing off steam. We understand each other, its nothing personal, blah, blah, blah."
The Rooney's have cut players who belched asinine statements to the media before, but he's still a top player. It's unlikely they will do so in this case, but he is pushing his welcome in Pittsburgh. More than likely, you'll hear James make some kind of retraction once the CBA is signed and the Rooney's talk to him, that will go to the effect "my statements were taken out of context..."
The Goodell statements probably won't go unpunished. I'm willing to bet they draw a 1-2 game suspension. Then again he did bring up the collective bargaining so Goodell might be forced to overlook that...as it could be construed as retailation against his collective bargaining rights (even though the Union has been decertified).
As for how they affect the locker room/team...really that type of talk is meaningless fodder for sports media outlets looking for something to talk than anything else.

HomoSnapper is gathering data right now on what he can do to rectify the situation for the Steelers.
Guys like him are an integral part of the Steeler's success.

All I can say is that I am glad he now lives in Pittsburgh and not around here anymore. (Those are probably water pistols)

According to local reports Harrison said that the reporter took things out of context. The report also states that he's cool with both Ben and Mendenhall. However for the sake of argument lets say he isn't. It's not going to divide the locker room because the Steelers routinely shut this sorta of thing down. It's part of the reason why the organization is as successful as it is.
EDIT: And yes to make the comments period in context or out of context about Ben and Rashard was/is out of line. I personally couldn't care less what he says about the NFL dictator.
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) -
How can you take those comments out of context when they are word for word? I just don't understand how he can try to play it off when he straight out said what he said in that fashion. He didn't use words like maybe or kinda or I wish. He basically said xxxx you and xxxx you to two of his teammates on how they performed in a game where he had only 1 tackle!
EDIT: By the way one of my roommates from last year who defended this dick with all of his illegal hits and cheered when he put MoMass and Cribbs out with concussions just said he hopes he gets traded or released because he would be seriously pissed to see him in a Steelers jersey next season.

Don't underestimate what you bring to the table for Steelers success there Sweetums.

HomoSnapper has his work cut out for him. Keep in mind, Homo is the same guy who told myself and a few others how stupid we were to attack Roid Monk's character for batting his old lady around a little---amongst other things. Hmm, probably not a lot of testing going on right now, wonder if good ole James been tapping that juice a little more?
Men’s Journal writer defends James Harrison, blasts “idiot” quarterbacks

Steelers linebacker James Harrison claimed his words were twisted when he was quoted by Men’s Journal as ripping some of his own teammates. But the writer whose integrity was called into question by Harrison is not upset by Harrison’s remarks — and he agrees with everything Harrison says.
Paul Solotaroff, who wrote the Men’s Journal article in question, said on ESPN Radio this morning that Harrison had to back away from some of his comments about teammates Ben Roethlisberger and Rashard Mendenhall to keep the peace in the Steelers’ locker room.
“We talked about 11 o’clock yesterday morning,” Solotaroff said on Thursday. “Look, James is the guy who’s got to live with Ben for the next three years. . . . So as I told James, ‘Listen, whatever you’ve got to say to mend fences is perfectly fine with me.’”
Still, Solotaroff stands by what he wrote and even hinted that Harrison said worse things about Roethlisberger than what appears in the article.
“I filled up three notebooks, I don’t know how many hours of digital tape, and I cut so much stuff from this piece,” Solotaroff said. “There is just acres of stuff James said that’s compelling and amusing and riveting. And that wasn’t the only thing he said about Ben.”
Regarding what may have been the most violent of Harrison’s hits last season, the brutal blow to Browns receiver Mohamed Massaquoi, Solotaroff said that if you’re looking for someone to blame, blame Browns quarterback Colt McCoy.
“Massaquoi is coming across the middle and only an idiot kid quarterback is going to lead his receiver — lead his receiver! — into a zone knowing that James Harrison is lurking back there,” Solotaroff said.
Solotaroff is an unabashed fan of Harrison’s and in his radio appearance he ripped NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for cracking down on Harrison’s style of play.
“I was furious at the way James got done by Goodell last year,” Solotaroff said. “I thought making him the poster boy for this abrupt and arbitrary rule change . . . was about the most wrongheaded thing you could do, particularly since Goodell seemed bent on singling James out.”

Nothing is out of context. Its all on tape. The author of the story said there was much more!
Harrison suffers from lack of filter on his brain! Although his comments about Goodell were dead on, you just can't say it that way. Goodell did attack his character and cover up for the Patriots, but his insults were way over the top! Then to top it off he tosses his own team mates and coach under the bus??? Harrison is a complete MORON!
