smuvtalker Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10334/1107184-100.stm Wow! They aren't playing around with this guy. Personally I don't care for the dude but dang, he's got to be thinking, "I better chill out". Next illegal hit almost guarantees he'll be suspended...

I'm curious to see what his reaction is. I'm not convinced it was a bad hit.I know the NFL is trying to change but it is a fast and physical game.
PromoTheRobot Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 This guy is a punk who is overdrawing his karma bank. One of these days someone will take his knees out...by accident of course. PTR

CodeMonkey Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Apparently the NFL brass saw the hit the same way most here did.
billsfaninvgs Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Was it because it was helmet to helmet or because he was a defenseless player?

I am beginning to wonder if he will ever get suspended. Seems like he pays a fine almost every week. If he doesn't get suspended how can people be upset that Andre Johson didn't get suspended? Harrison is just a dirty player, plain and simple. Eventually he will paralyze someone or even worse, then the league might wish they did something besides collect his money for charity.

dayman Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 I don't watch all the STeelers games but I know who he is and the controversy around him, watch all the Bills games...and see probably the closest to a dirty hit on Fitz all year when we play him. So...

Quote Steelers LB James Harrison has been fined $25,000 for roughing the passer, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Harrison made “helmet contact” to the chest of Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was in a defenseless position at the time the contact was made. So it was more or less for spearing a defenseless player, not contact to the head. I can see that.

Un-friggin-believable. I hope that fine doesn't force James and his family into a homeless shelter...
Wayne Cubed Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 I wonder if these fines can be payed to charitys and therefore fall under the only pay 50% rule, if it goes to a charity. Then it would only be $75,000...
firemedic Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Harrison did lead with the head; spearing if I'm correct.
