Breaking: James Harrison Is Still A Roided-Up Idiot

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison says he's changed his approach on hitting because of the NFL's new standards on player safety.
"I've really lowered my target area to where it's down around the knees," Harrison said Friday on "Mike & Mike in the Morning." "Situations come along where you could tackle the guy high. I don't do that anymore. I tackle the guy low."
A four-time Pro Bowler and the 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Harrison has become the NFL's prime example of delivering illegal hits on defenseless players, especially those to the head. He's drawn a suspension and has been fined more than $100,000 in his career for hits the league has deemed unsafe.
In December 2011, Harrison became the first player to be suspended under the league's stricter guidelines for player safety after his hit on the Cleveland Browns' Colt McCoy left the quarterback with a concussion.
But despite changing his tactics in how he hits, Harrison doesn't believe it will necessarily enhance player safety. He referenced his hit that caused Denver wide receiver Eric Decker to suffer an MCL injury in last season's playoffs as an example of how things still can be dangerous.
"I could have tackled him high, but if I had hit him high, I probably would have gotten a helmet-to-helmet or something and gotten fined," Harrison said. "So I hit him low and strained his MCL. ... They're saying it's a life-threatening injury to hit a guy in the head and he gets a concussion and so on and so forth, but I think a life-threatening injury is to go low on a guy and blow out his ACL or whatever, and he's not able to come back the way he was before. Now he can't make a living, he can't feed his family, he can't do what he does. That's life-threatening to me."
Harrison also again expressed doubts that commissioner Roger Goodell and others in the league are actually trying to make things safer.
"You say you want to make the game safer but yet you turn around and want to add extra games," Harrison said. "How is that making us safer?
What a fucking Keyshawn.

Now he can't make a living, he can't feed his family, he can't do what he does." and then says that in order to avoid staying away from fines he's "lowered [his] target area to where it's down around the knees,"
Aim for the body, like the rest of the league. It's not a case of either-or, heads or knees, you fucking gorilla.

harrison was born an orangutan with alligator arms. asking him to 'wrap someone up' in a body tackle is like asking a yammukka wearing heeb to wrap xmas gifts.
it can't physically be done.

Just when you think Ghoolie could not say anything more ignorant, he proves you wrong. There is no way any Browns fan would want the Roid Monkey playing for Cleveland.

Yeah, and you'd be sucking his big black nikka cock if he played for the Browns.
You confused me for yourself. Again.

You guys are missing the point he's trying to make. He's saying that regardless, people get hurt in football, and Goodell is cashing in on all of it. James Harrison is a lot smarter than you think, not that you'll ever believe a "big fucking gorilla." Yes, its good to try and prevent concussions, but at the same time, going for the knees will end a career as well. Goodell has taken $100,000 from Harrison's pockets so far. Yes, some of his hits are uncalled for, but Goodell is cashing in on unintentional helmet to helmet hits, and its really not fair to the players. If you've ever read anything about James Harrison, he doesn't like Goodell's policies, and I don't blame him. Also, whats up with the subtle racism on this board? Only in a few people do I notice it, but its really not cool. Don't take shots at someone's race, when you're not out there playing

You're giving the gorilla too much credit. He's saying "Fine, if I can't hit people in the head ill hit them in the knees".
There's no subtle racism, it's anything but subtle for the most part.
I don't care what race you are, if you're dumb, you're dumb. And Harrison is fucking dumb. Give me the same pile of steroids he took and I would easily be out there with him.

Actually, all the fine money goes to charity....and those who are fined get the tax deduction.
So, I am all for Goodell hitting these guys up for fines that go to charity. Better than them blowing it on whatever they blow things on....cars, bling, bad investments.
