James Harrison Suspended For 1 Game

PrintWell the NFL has finally decided to handle its James Harrison problem.
Harrison was suspended for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Colt McCoy Thursday night. It is the second time that Harrison has had a helmet-to-helmet issue with the Cleveland Browns. Last season he was fined $100,000 dollars for his hit on Mohammed Massaquoi. His fine was later reduced.
James Harrison is a complete turd. He has never respected the rules of the NFL and has claimed that he will quit rather than change his game.
I guess James figured out that driving a bus doesn't pay millions of dollars. The sooner this turd is out of the NFL the better.
Hat tip to Les Fleurs Du Mal and Gabe Durrant
I still need more words. So I guess I will go ahead and make sure I get my point across.
James Harrison is a criminal who should be in jail. James Harrison is a criminal who should be in jail. James Harrison is a criminal who should be in jail. James Harrison is a criminal who should be in jail. James Harrison is a criminal who should be in jail. James Harrison is a criminal who should be in jail. That will do.

BS suspension and call:
This is such BS….this is coming from a non-Steeler fan more-so! A QB that is out of the pocket WITH THE BALL TUCKED is not a defenseless WR nor do they fall under the protected QB rule!!! As soon as he left the pocket he was a runner! You can’t tuck the ball then at the last second throw it then blame the dude for taking his head off!!! (which is exactly what he’d do on a running back) That’s garbage… If it’s Tebow, Vick, Vince Young, Big Ben, or any other QB and they run for a first down on him and he DOESN’T take his head off the Steelers coaches would be PISSED. That’s a b.s. call…

What you must not realize is that it’s not about the fact that Harrison attacked Colt McCoy or a Cleveland Brown as opposed to any other player on a different team. The problem Harrison has always had is that he attacks players with his head against their head which is obviously against the rules. He puts himself in that position to take out an opposing players head because that’s the kind of poor sportsmanship that he plays with. What you’re supporting is that it’s okay for a player to attack another player by spearing the other player in the head with his own head. In today’s NFL that’s just not right.

You’d think after he broke his face leading with his head he may have figured it out, but no. This is also why I say the Rooney family is full of shit. They act like football ambassadors and all around good guys yet condone this crap and rape. Hope we end his career next game so he can stop threatening to quit.

Starting at North Coast Flea’s comment above, people were showing support for smoking weed. Athensdawg mentioned his support for that position, and since Athens (the town, not the poster) and Ohio U. are known for partying in general and partying with weed in particular, I posted, “Go Bobcats!”.

To me this “punishment” is way too lenient. It is VERY obvious from Harrison’s actions and words after every single one of these dirty plays that he isn’t going to get his act together. He should be suspended for the rest of the season and have his pay for this season revoked to send a strong message to him that he can’t ignore. Or even better, outright ban him to send a message to the rest of the league that this shit is not cool.

He laughed about it on his twitter account. He should have been suspended for the season. The NFL is acting very weakly about something they’re supposedly taking seriously.
he mocked this on twitter? SERIOUSLY??
are you kidding me?
After the NFL announced the suspension he tweeted LOL and then something about appreciating his supporters, blah, blah, blah
He later said the “LOL” wasn’t for the suspension, it was for the fact that people thought it was a dirty hit… or along those lines. What a liar. He flat out laughed in the NFL’s face again. What a turd.

I’m really sick of all his apologists and their BS, saying it was “bang, bang” play (it wasn’t), saying that’s he just plays too fast (he doesn’t) or that he is just aggressive (he can be as aggressive as he wants, just don’t use your helmet as a weapon).
The fact that he outright says that he is not going to change, and that the NFL doesn’t indefinitely suspend him until he agrees to change tells me the NFL doesn’t really care about head injuries at all.
I agree. Because he is a repeat offender he needed to be done for the rest of the season.
by jonnyphoenix on Dec 13, 2011 4:35 PM EST up reply actions
Clearly his behavior in the offseason and now just shows that fines aren’t working. A one game suspension is too lenient. He doesn’t care and isn’t learning. I say the rest of the season at a minimum for the suspension is at least closer to appropriate but still not enough.
Even Doug Dieken admits Joe Thomas is the real #73
Should have been more. He’s a piece of shit.

I don’t understand why Harrison got less of a suspension than Suh for his actions against Green Bay. Both were repeat offenders trying to intentionally hurt another player. I’d argue that Harrisons was worse given his history of helmet to helmet hits and fines for such.
Stop arguing with this T.Holmes guy. If you can’t convince female Steelers fans that rooting for a guy with a patern of sexual abuse is wrong, you’re not going to get through to this guy either.
What does that MEAN - TO PLAY US OUT?!!?!?
It’s because Harrison is a Steeler. They are allowed to play dirty because they are The Steelers. This BS has been going on in the NFL for over 20 years now!
I disagree. I think Suh got the hammer because his victim was a Packer, and because he was stupid enough to do it on Thanksgiving with the entire nation watching. Harrison only got one game because his victim was a Cleveland Brown.

Suh’s penalty was much more blatant because it occurred after the play was over. The was no question of having to make a split-second decision, etc., nothing that he could point to as a mitigating circumstance.

I think the league is a little biased towards their most popular teams whether they know it or not. Steelers and Cowboys are popular, Browns and Lions, not so much. Teacher tends to let stuff go when the popular kid does it.
That said, Suh was banging the guys head into the turf before he stomped him. It was potentially more dangerous and definitely more controllable.
the team for which the offender plays may have something to do with the punishments, etc., but the team against which the offenses occurred do not, in my mind.

I think the big difference in the suspensions is that one was during a football play and one was after the whistle. Both are bad, but the after the whistle one stands out more.

Don’t agree with this. Anyone remember earlier in the game when mendenhall got BLASTED in the helmet at the LoS and the announcers made an emphasis on him not being protected from helmet to helmet?
I think everyone who saw the McCoy play thought he was going to run it, and he pulled out the ball at the exact last second. Can’t really blame Harrison for not letting up.

that's right
He could tackle correctly. There’s a right way to tackle and a wrong way to tackle. His is the wrong way. There’s no debating this. They have tapes teaching players the right way. This is wrong.
Exactly. Watching the replay it clear the he was aiming for Colt’s head no matter what. Its like the hit on Cribbs last year where he just dived in with his helmet and didn’t even try to wrap him up. He could have creamed Colt with a regular, legal tackle. And don’t give me that crap about having an aggressive, tough, football attitude. Its playing dirty, plain and simple. You can play tough while still playing within the rules.
I don’t remember the exact play, but when I’m looking at a runner going into the line, he usually has his head down, ready to absorb contact. with the head down, it is very difficult from a straight on line to form tackle to the chest without catching the helmet. in McCoy’s case, he is straight up, not looking to put his head down to gain yards. that is where I see the difference

Are you talking about Gocong on the Goalline stand? The difference is the fact that McCoy IS A QB. The NFL already explained that as long as the QB is behind the LOS and has released the ball he is still protected by the same rules. Now watch the play again : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyyhMGwF-NY
You can clearly see that Harrison’s head is still up (he sees what McCoy is doing) when McCoy throws the ball. Then he ducks, loads up and gives him the head shot. It was dirty. It was blatantly dirty. And it wasnt done on accident. He is a dirty piece of shit.

i was listening to a bit of football on the radio this weekend, and in one of the games a defender was penalized for hitting a qb above the shoulders while that defender was blocking said qb after an interception. that’s a new rule, too. and while it may be a bad rule, the point is that it is 0.0% mysterious whether or not hitting the qb in the head at any point in time is ok. and to spare you the suspense: it is not.

The guy needs to learn how to stop leading with his helmet, plain and simple. But he is apparently incapable of making any adjustment to his techniques due to his utter lack of discipline, and so he just lashes out in stupified frustration whenever he is criticized or penalized.

by burntorangeandbrown on Dec 14, 2011 10:14 AM EST up reply actions
Is it discipline or knowing that going to head to head is worth the penalty for what it does down the road. He’s trying to scare these guys because he knows they play twice a year. He’s a bully and until the Browns players stand up to him he’ll keep doing it. If he does it again next time the Browns D should just come out on the field and beat the living snot out of him.
Exactly why I make no apologies for my comments in the "I demand a ‘bounty bowl’ " FanPost regarding teaching the asshole a lesson. He needs a little taste of his own medicine. A slice of humble pie. He needs to be the one taken out on a f*ng stretcher writhing in pain, preferably inflicted by one or more Cleveland Browns football players.

This is bullshit, and you know it. It’s a classic example of your “I’m gonna argue for the sake of arguing” philosophy. The guy was leading with his helmet whether Colt threw the ball or he didn’t, which is clearly against the rules.
Any respectable, decent guy would also be apologetic after the fact, given that he made an illegal hit. Not Harrison though, he just mocks the league and continues to play the victim. He’s a classless douchebag, and that point should be hard to argue even for you.

A serious, critical mistake by the NFL
I don’t think the NFL realizes how serious this is. With all the news that’s coming out about the lethal and degenerative effects of seemingly minor concussions, parents are not allowing their boys to play football. Some football fans want their sport to be what they consider to be bad-a$$ed, but most of those same fans would never let their 7 year old boy to play football.
This needs to be fixed, and this guy is a repeat offender with no remorse. If Suh can be suspended 2 games for stomping on someone in a fit of temper which occurred after the play, then this deliberate and calculated hit to the head, which may permanently damage the other player, deserves a 4 game suspension.
Harrison has no intention of letting up in his style. He has no intention of learning to tackle properly. If someone dies on the field, or as a result of plays like this, football would be OVER. NFL over. You want your multi-billion $$ industry to die? Honestly, if they don’t fix this problem, it will deserve to end.
This is really serious. And that rule about running backs? That’s got to change too. Helmet to helmet tackling has got to go.
There’s 5 feet of body on Colt McCoy that’s not illegal to hit. I’ve never played NFL football, but it seems to me that it shouldn’t be too hard to hit that big of a target. Harrison is a dirty playing son of a b.
I believe in battling for genuine progress.

A text book tackle would have Harrison lowering his level and placing the face mask directly in Colt’s chest and driving him six feet into the turf… He does that and its legal and punishing… Harrison may still get the roughing call, but does not get the suspension or fine. Harrison is a turd for sure and probably deserved an ejection, as a one game suspension and fine only helps the team he is suspended against and not the Browns
GO BROWNS, GO TRIBE, GO BUCKEYES
So at this point I think he needs to be banned. The point of the fines/suspensions is to teach these players that they need to alter their game. If he isnt going to change and he is going to keep hitting people helmet to helmet ever game then he needs to not be on the field anymore.
And it wasnt his only dirty hit on McCoy in the game, it was just the only one called. Someone pointed out in the game thread that earlier McCoy was wrapped up and Harrison speared him helmet first again. As much as I hate Ray Lewis and the Ravens (And I hate them more then I hate the Steelers) atleast on the field they play a very clean, physical game. Since Omar Epps has started coaching in Pittsburgh the team has gotten very dirty.

Most of the Steelers don’t tackle correctly. They’d rather go for the big hit, than wrap the person up correctly. Palomalu does the same thing as Harrison except he aims for the knees and gets kneed in the head repeatedly. In 15 years most of the current players on the Steelers defense will be the subject of these concussion tests since they will all be drooling vegetables in the hospital for refusing to learn how to tackle and inflicting just as much punishment on themselves as they inflict on other players.

Don’t know if this was deserved or not, but in the senior lounge at my high school today this was on the TV and when they were showing the replay of the hit everyone went quiet and you could hear a “oooh” when Colt got hit. That hit was definitely dirty, but not necessarily deserving of a crime.
But that’s beside the point, because James Harrison is garbage
It’s not just the single hit. It’s his history of dirty hits and saying how he doesn’t think they are dirty.

I think there is something that is being missed with the rule book discussion.
- A runner does not have his helmet protected from contact while he is running. That is true and always has been. McCoy was a runner, so a shoulder to the helmet would have been a legal hit.
-A defender never has the right to hit another player with his helmet. It’s not about McCoy, it’s about Harrison. If he spears McCoy in the gut with his helmet, it is still an illegal hit according to the rulebook. It’s not helmet-to-helmet, it’s leading with the crown of the helmet. Harrison clearly led with the crown of his helmet. He shouldbe suspended. He should have a every game reviewed and he should have escalating suspensions for every time he causes a player to fail a concussion test because of his helmet hits.

McCoy was not a runner. He is not a runner until he tucks the ball and crosses the line of scrimmage. He was behind the line of scrimmage and had just released a pass. The fact that he was no longer in the pocket is totally irrelevant.

Tucking the ball to run is the important point. All players behind the line of scrimmage with the ball in hand could pass, but they have to be in a passing situation to be considered a passer. McCoy did tuck the ball to run. The fact that he stopped and passed makes it a complicated situation as far as being a passer versus a runner.
It’s irrelevant.
Harrison’s hit is illegal at any time anywhere against any player.

lets be honest here while we’re talking about it:
the nfl has done wonders for this manchild. If it weren’t for him shooting his caustic spittle at the nfl in rants and temper tamtrums, we all know that he would be out in the world murdering people. And therein lies the reason why the nfl allows him to play in their league.
let’s face it, the nfl, although taking a “soft” stance on this issue, is doing the world a great deal of good by allowing this would-becriminal to run around the field hurting people instead of shooting, drive-by shooting, stabbing, shanking, curb-stomping, masticating, hanging, thug-beating, crow-barring, strangling, drowning, lethal injecting, HIV infecting, vehicular homiciding, etc.
Thank you NFL for making our streets safe!

He’d be dead on the street for being a punk bitch. Give professional criminals credit. They have more brains than Harrison. That’s why he plays a thug in magazines and not real life.

Public mastication is by far the most horrendous of these acts, yet it goes unpunished every day.
