James Harrison...being...well...James Harrison...Men's Journal interview. Speaks on the commisioner and his team.
Here is the original link...
This is the part that has everyone in an uproar...
On high and low hits:
“I get dinged about three times a year and don’t know where I am for a little minute. But unless I’m asleep, you’re not getting me out of the game, and most guys feel the same way. If a guy has a choice of hitting me high or low, hit me in the head and I’ll pay your fine. Just don’t hit me in the knee, ‘cause that’s life-threatening. How’m I going to feed my family if I can’t run?”
On the 2004 season:
“I should have another ring. We were the best team in football in 2004, but the Patriots, who we beat during the regular season, stole our signals and picked up 90 percent of our blitzes [in the AFC title game]. They got busted for it later, but, hey, they’re Goodell’s boys, so he slapped ‘em $500,000 and burned the tapes. Was he going to rescind their Super Bowls? Man, hell no!”
On the two interceptions thrown by Ben Roethlisberger in last year’s Super Bowl:
“Hey, at least throw a pick on their side of the field instead of asking the D to bail you out again. Or hand the ball off and stop trying to act like Peyton Manning. You ain’t that and you know it, man; you just get paid like he does.”
On Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu:
“He’s the one guy in football I respect absolutely, ‘cause he’s spiritual and lives it like he talks it. You know, he gets more flags than anyone on our team but never gets fined for nothin’. He’s so polite and talks so softly that he could tell he could tell Goodell to kiss his ass, and Goodell would smile and say thank you.”
You can read the rest of the article but I want to talk specifically about these parts of it and people's reactions to it.
First of all, it is JAMES HARRISON. When has he NOT spoken his mind? This is the same dude that refused to go to the White House. Pulled the crazy fan off the field. Basically does CRAZY SHIT. All. The. Time. So color me surprised that he did an interview, saying things that most wouldn't say and he didn't flinch. It is your own fault if you are shocked James said these things.
Second, did he lie? I mean, lets go back and look at what he REALLY SAID. I mean did he lie? Did he not say pretty much the SAME THINGS THAT WE HAVE ALL SAID about all of those situations in some shape, form or fashion? Oh... Which leads me to the third and probably biggest point..
You people and your selective 'uncouth' tolerance. Your creed is flawed Jack..
"Everybody wants folks to be themselves and speak out...until they say some shit that you don't like.. As usual. Now cats want him to shut up" - Me on Twitter earlier on this very subject.
I say that because for some of you, when James was speaking on the hitting issues and the fines, you were ALL FOR IT. When he went in on other subjects it was cool because he 'spoke his mind'. You loved it. Now that he does an interview speaking on Ben (right or wrong) or on Mendy (right or wrong) you wanna turn on him. It is your own fault though. See, the thing about condoning folk's unbridled behavior with out holding them to some standard is that is that you can't 'control what they might say. One day the 'verbal gun' is gonna get pointed back at you. Which is why I don't PROMOTE just wholehearted 'outspokenness without thinking' like many of you do. Now you want someone to 'control' him or to 'shut him up'. Don't beg off now. You should have thought about that when you said 'If BEAST doesn't want to see the President he doesn't have to...' or set the standard earlier. Now I am not saying James hasn't always been like this as I have not known hm his whole life. I DO KNOW, however that since he has been in the spotlight, this is his M.O. and not too many who are INSIDE the fan base or a fan of (for lack of a better term) 'asshole 101 speak' (Where you show NO TACT TO THE SITUATION AND SAY EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL AT ALL TIMES. CONSEQUENCES BE DAMMED..) have been outraged. Now that he is calling out teammates, its a problem. Thing is, WHAT EXACTLY THE HELL DO YA'LL THINK THE WORD 'accountability' means when you spout it off after these players make mistakes? We all get on Twitter and Facebook and say things 100 TIMES WORSE than what James said. Hell, if he had called out William Gay I would be ELATED truthfully. Players messed up and he spoke on it. I don't see the big deal. Your favorite player does that shit and it is 'leadership'. James does it and it is 'being an ass'. Make up your minds people. He spoke up. If his teammates don't like it, they will say something to him. (Yeah...yeah..yeah..I know YOU WOULDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO HIM..way to make it all about you again. Good job Champ!)
Furthermore, STOP ACTING SHOCKED when James Harrison says things that maybe 'you wouldn't say'. Isn't that what you demand out of folks? Honesty?
Or are you mad because James Harrison took all the 'speculation' out of what he is thinking and has reduced your 'lol' joke pool? @ those of you use 'speculation' as fodder for jokes. I know for some of you Life is no fun if you can't speculate about what others are feeling. (No, I am serious. I really think some of you have issues with that. Especially some of you dudes. Ya'll say girls gossip and speculate but man.....some of you ninjas is bitches too- Snoop)
In any event, stay mad/shocked about whatever James said. Just remember, this is what he does and YOU ASKED FOR IT. Encouraged it even. Don't get mad now...
*This post was in no way, shape or form MEANT TO be some 'journalistic' view. I wrote what I felt. You can deal with it or.....Oh and I didn't write about Hines because I don't 'know' enough about it to write on it other than the charge itself. Haven't found much really. Enlighten me if you happen to be privy. I would like to know more details myself.
I see Rashard responded to the fumble comments.... here is the hotlink to the ESPN link...

Help your baby brother..This n#ggas melting me...-Lando EP..
That was probably the first time all season I literally fell out laughing. @ that quote.
I did enjoy this episode.
Make no promises and if it gets asked to be taken down, I am gonna pull it. Period. Enjoy it.
I am critical of the show but I can also give credit where credit is due. Well rather, I am critical of the messages and things that people TAKE FROM THE SHOW. The show is just a show and Aaron isn't a demi God.

I am going to let my man speak for me on this 4th of July issue.
Lot of preaching going on today (I love enlightenment like the rest of the world.) But the beginning of this skit pretty much sums up the day when you have kids and what it would be like. Now mind you, my kids KNOW all of the facts that you guys are spitting out today. So it isn't like they are 'blind to the facts' or just being kept out of the loop. It is just the simple fact that they are kids. They are ALREADY on summer vacation so to them, this is a pretty special day. They get to see fire in the sky and possibly eat out and all that happy stuff sometime this weekend. That's it. If you are an adult, you might get a day off. That's it. There is no more to it. Save the history lesson for later...
Now if you don't want your day off due to some events that happened (and are RECOGNIZED BY THOSE OF US WHO DO WANT TO ENJOY THE DAY) be my guest. What you won't do though is throw them lil darts and digs with your 'knowledge' on some holier than shat. Without getting mud flung back at you. You aren't poppin' that shit the other 330 some days of the year (Minus February when EVERYONE likes to pipe up again about 'the whiteman' and such) and you CERTAINLY aren't trying to do much to change the 'lets play the victim' mentality we are known to have by doing all this crying and whining. Yes, I said we. I am black. I can DO THAT. Sorry if you don't like it. Listen, I understand your intentions. I really do. I respect 'em. You just aren't going to continuously disrespect me with the bullshit when all you are doing is being an 'arm chair activist'. Period. You REALLY DON'T LIKE YOUR DAY OFF? Go volunteer. Go help someone. Better still, go out and take it up picket line while on strike in front of your job and demand to be let back into work if it is that bad. I could respect it more. And don't tell me you don't care if I respect 'cause you are the one beating my ears and font off about what you want me to know. So you have to care about what I think. Or you would have kept quiet from jump. I bet you won't do none of that though. 'Cause it is easier to complain than to do.
I know a lot of you are like "What in the HELL is he talking about?" If you don't know, carry on. As you were. lol
Anyway...
