I don't think Big Ben is going to be sending him any Christmas cards anytime soon.

 

"Hey, at least throw a pick on their side of the field instead of asking the D to bail you out again. Or hand the ball off and stop trying to act like Peyton Manning. You ain't that and you know it, man; you just get paid like he does."

 

 

Also called Mendenhall a "fumble machine". :lol: This guy has lost it.

 

 

Makes me want to see a Steelers practice.

WEll, what can you say? He opens his brain to let the stupid leave him via the mouth. I don't know if he'll be suspended or not, but I bet if he sniffs an improper helmet placement this season on a tackle he'll be parked. He's a genius.

:ohbrother:

Here's the deal, there's not a soul on that team that wants a piece of him.

He'll be on Sportscenter at 6:05.

Lord knows how his statements will be PR'd up. I wonder if his agent loses his mind when James opens his trap?

He'll probably come out and apologize because his agent told him to, and then all will be forgiven. :puke:

 

This guy is going to force himself out of the league with his mouth, it's just a matter of when.

Harrison is out of his head, but it's tough not to understand his position. Goddell, rather than be an arbiter for the good of the game, has shown himself to be a mouthpiece for ownership through this entire lockout. He has no desire to end the lockout for the good of the sport, but to get the best deal possible for the owners. I don't fault him for that, because it's his job, but I'm not going to pretend like I don't see what makes Harrison and a lot of other players so upset with Goddell.

I dare say, Harrison said what many other players think. Not with the same venom and eloquence obviously, but I bet there are many players who echo his sentiment. Even CC seemed to agree to some points.

AS for Ben, and Osama Bindenhall, I'd also say that there are other Steelers in the locker room that feel similarly.

If training camp starts as scheduled, how did Goddell not do a good job as commish during this? We have seen other leagues over the last 15 years lose games, and even seasons when trying to renegotiate a new deal. If this deal gets worked out, the only thing the NFL lost was some Mini-Camps which honestly has no effect on us fans. If this deal works out, that shows he did a good job. Yes he helped the owners, but also still made sure nothing was lost of the season. I am pretty sure if he wanted, he could have held out to what the Owners really wanted, which then could have led to missing games. This is a positive thing that he has done as a commish getting this worked out.

Does anyone see Harrison and think Albert Belle? I think that he'll eventually follow similar life paths after his career.

His tactics left a lot to be desired in the time leading up to the lockout itself. His letter to the players individually encouraging them to petition their union to come back to the negotiating table was a pretty unnecessary divide-and-conquer move and the players definitely saw it as such. He's lost a lot of credibility with the players and if training camp starts on time, I don't think it will be because of him. In fact, his inability to avoid a work stoppage is more a comment than anything done subsequently.

He was not the commish at the time of the last CBA. Most of the media has mentioned how the last commish actually didn't come up with the best CBA for the league. The players in the NFL get more of the revenue of any other league, while I think everyone has realized that the deals rookies have gotten without ever players a down was getting way out of hand. His letter to the players to negotiate was a good thing to do, because guess what is getting this deal done? That is negotiating, we all seen how well it went when the courts were really in the middle of it. They really started gaining ground on this, once they sat down and started negotiating. As I said if things get worked out, and all training camps start on time then how was this really that bad? Other leagues have allowed leagues to miss games, and apparently is not going to happen. If a deal is worked out, then shows both sides got things that they wanted, and without missing any games likes other leagues do. That shows that he has done a pretty good job, he got a deal done that helps the people who own the teams, and still didn't cost the players any games.

Also most importantly didn't effect us fans at all, because we will have our season that we all love watching.
