\"Harrison\" “It’s starting to look like it’s OK to cheat, it’s OK to fight, but if you hit somebody too hard, we’re going to fine you a whole bunch. Maybe it’s because I play for the Steelers, who knows?”— James Harrison on NFL’s fine system<\/cite><\/p>\n

Ray Anderson, the National Football League’s executive vice president for football operations, said today the league is not targeting the Steelers, in particular linebacker James Harrison, for illegal hits… Yet somehow he gets fined every freakin’ week! Just to reiterate I had no problem with a fine for the first\u00a0hit\u00a0on Vince Young,\u00a0as they clearly planted him. EVERY OTHER ONE including the 75K was complete and utter nonsense.\u00a0BTW how does this\u00a0hit on Fitz’\u00a0draw 25K while the fine on Massaquoi(THAT DIDN’T DRAW\u00a0A FLAG)\u00a0drew 75K and the Brees hit which was a complete joke drew 20K?<\/p>\n

Who is determining this? It seems arbitrary and egregious.<\/p>\n

A text book tackle\u00a0as defined by Yahoo is, “…facemask in the opponents numbers and driving through and knocking the legs out from under him, dropping him flat on his back.” Apparently that little tidbit of information is foreign to the powers that be. James Harrison was fined for what looked like a textbook tackle. This is such nonsense!<\/p>\n

Seriously, how do you not feel like we are getting hosed every week by the refs?<\/p>\n

BEER WE GO STEELERS is backing James 100%! Silverback is our hero and he is everything that is right with football!!!<\/p>\n
