From the Desk of President Tom Janicki:<\/p>\n
The James Harrison fine?\u00a0 Two parts to this that I would like to touch upon, first off, the media aspect of the fine, my take is that we need not get it twisted and this has very little to do with James Harrison and everything to do with the NFL trying to cover their asses. \u00a0Fact, we are a litigious society.\u00a0 Fact, the NFL\u2019s retired benefits package is non existent although it is for all intense and purposes the most violent entertainment going when you look over entire careers. \u00a0The NFL is looking into the future to say they did something about it. \u00a0They are the hypocrites, they are to ones benefiting and profiting on these violent collisions. \u00a0They need more James Harrisons!!\u00a0 This fine means very little to me.\u00a0 This fine means very little to James Harrison.\u00a0 I have a hard time believing that this will change the style of play of any Steeler defender most notably our Silverback.\u00a0 We are going to intimidate.\u00a0 We are going to play to inflict pain.\u00a0 It\u2019s in our blood.\u00a0 As for the fine, the best analogy that I can use in every day life is speeding.\u00a0 $75,000 to Harrison is about the amount of money of a speeding ticket to most of us.\u00a0 Does a speeding ticket effect the way you drive.\u00a0 We all know the answer to this question, If you are a person that speeds, it\u2019s in your blood and a fine will not cause change.\u00a0 However, getting enough speeding tickets and losing your license does cause change.\u00a0 In Harrison\u2019s case, let\u2019s hope that suspensions are all talk by the NFL, because I for one do not want to watch a watered down brand of football.\u00a0 Beer We Go Steelers!! \u00a0We need to sustain the excellence and make a statement on this monumentous road trip. \u00a0The time is drawing near to put the smackdown on Miami!!<\/p>\n
From the Tailgate of Captain Tailgate:<\/p>\n
Com\u2019n Man!!\u00a0 All you did was wake up the beast!!\u00a0 Vengeance and destruction will be enforced by the dee!!\u00a0 Could you imagine if that money came to me, that would fuel a good tailgate for like 25 years!!\u00a0 Or I could just go out and buy beer for an entire lot.\u00a0 From my calculations, that fine would buy 132,420 Iron City Beers.\u00a0 Daydreaming\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.ok so I lost my train of thought there for a split minute\u2026James Harrison plays hard and for the most part tackles within the rules. \u00a0I say that some may say he is dirty player and some may not respect him but the man gets held on every play and we are damn proud to have him a member of this great nation of Black and Gold!!\u00a0 Who ride?\u00a0 We ride!! \u00a0Who\u2019s House? \u00a0Our House!! \u00a0Who Dey?? \u00a0We Dey!!!<\/p>\n
