First and foremost I agree that protecting the NFL’s greatest assets, the players, should be paramount to every team. Beer We Go Steelers know all too well what concussions can do! We lost one of the greatest players in Steeler history Mike Webster to a condition likely caused by his numerous concussions. We lost several other solid players as well and they were all way to young!
Protecting the players is the most important thing the NFL can do. But, fining James Harrison $75,000.00 dollars for a hit that didn’t even draw a flag is completely and utterly ridiculous! I made a joke about how Harrison was going to be getting the call after he laid out two Browns Sunday. What I can’t believe is the severity of that fine.
This guy plays football the way it should be played. He plays hard, tough, with ferocity and keeps his mouth shut. He lets his play do the talking and he doesn’t tweet, showboat or do some special dance after he makes a tackle. He is a warrior! He also has a big heart as he expressed some serious concern and didn’t jump on Cribb’s fumble.
While I don’t believe he is contemplating retirement for real. It is easy to see why he would be so upset. I know I speak for the Captain and the rest of BWG nation, we are 100% supporting James Harrison and hope he brings the same fire and intensity this week as he has brought every Sunday since he started!
The NFL needs more players like James Harrison!
BEER WE GO STEELERS, BEER WE GO!
