An athlete will never win the public opinion when it comes to money. And besides, how come the rest of the NFL players know how to tackle without getting fined? Poor Mr.Harrison. Looks like state college for his kids. I haven't hear the interview myself, but I really hope that Tomlin was trying to be funny when saying that cause I always thought he was a smart guy.

I want to say the NFL is overreacting, but Harrison is having a hard time taking a hint.

He kind of reminds me of Rodney Harrison... which is a good thing. I hope he has something in his contract, like the other Harrison did, that all fines go to the Charity of his choice.

all NFL fines go to charities, regardless. i'm not sure if they get to pick or not though. some charity is thrilled that he's getting all of them though haha

if you've been watching the games, you'd know that most are legal hits. he's just being targeted.

he did himself no favors acting like a baby and thinking about retiring. these guys get paid so much money I have no sympathy for any athlete.

trust me, if it was the NFL just getting deeper pockets as a result of this, i'd be even madder.

Perhaps he should to tackle without launching headfirst everytime. Is it that difficult to lead head first, i mean come on. Even on tackles where there seems to be absolutely no need for it, he leads with his head

Maybe the NFL shouldn't have given him defensive player of the year then. He hasn't changed a thing. When Ravens are standing up for Steelers you know something is messed up. That's not even mentioning if what Ben said was true, Roethlisberger said he noticed something that others inside the organization have brought up privately. He charged that Parry, the referee, went for his flag before Harrison even hit the quarterback. "I saw the ref reach for the flag before it was even coming. It's unfortunate for him," Roethlisberger said of Harrison's penalty and fine. "We really feel bad for him." Video of that would be a big deal, I would think.

Not sure why the music is there, but the ref looks like his hand was in his pocket at least.

And this happened a few weeks ago, but note the lack of flag. That's what football is.

The ref is literally throwing the flag before Fitz hits the ground... Now the second link, that does deserve a flag.
