These are the typical knee jerk reactions made by people who don't know the facts. Harrison is repentant, he has spent a great deal of practice time amending his play so it's within the rules. Before this incident he hadn't been fined since Nov 30, 2010, a testament to his altered play. The McCoy hit was more unfortunate than willful. Was he wrong last year, in most cases yes, and he paid the fines levied. Was he stupid in calling out the Commissioner during the lockout, yes. Is he being singled out and paying an extra high penalty for these previous mistakes, way over and above what any other player would receive for the same offense, yes. Is this fair, yes, he made his own bed here. But don't say he hasn't altered his play or is unrepentant. For all the gentlemen decrying these "illegal" hits, where were you years ago? We didn't hear from any of you back then. You were all fine watching the best hits of the week replayed on ESPN, cheering the players getting slobberknocked. You're all sheep jumping on a popular bandwagon. And for your information, the league could care less about player health, look at the way they've treated former players and their health problems. The only thing the league is worried about is the massive lawsuits that players could bring to court after the league was made publicly aware of possible long term brain damage from concussions. They haven't done a darn thing for the players already suffering from that damage 'cause that would just be money out of their pocket. Their only concern is future liability and what it might cost them.This is a product folks, packaged and sold from Pee Wee, through High School and College, and finally the NFL. The players are disposable cogs designed and molded to present that product. You are making the players millionaires and the owners billionaires, how many of you have millions in the bank? The players and owners are willing participants in this grab for cash. Why are you the least bit concerned about anything they do?
how?The best they can get is the 2nd seed but it isn't assured.dave
Going into week 17 the Colts will have a longer winning streak than the Packers.
Detroit's games are not generally televised in my market. Other than Thanksgiving, I haven't seen them play. But on the highlights of yesterday's game, Matthew Stafford impressed the hell out of me. His strikes were impressive cause of his arm speed and accuracy. And he showed me he has a good eye for the field. Their defense played sharp, too. Their QB can move that ball. Watch out Green Bay. I guess Detroit will have to get by San Francisco first(?).Jerry Jones seemed to me pretty negative in his post game interview, not just dissapointed.
