Bears DT Tommie Harris Apologizes For Punch

A day after being ejected for punching Cardinals guard Deuce Lutui, Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris apologized. "Yes, I felt like I hurt my team," Harris said. "I just want to apologize to my fans, first off (and) the little kids out there that saw that action, that I behaved in that manner. I apologize to my teammates. ... I'll make up for it." Harris said he apologized to Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald, one of his friends, and to Lutui. "I was embarrassed, especially for my actions," Harris said. Harris said he anticipated a penalty and fine, but did not expect to get ejected from the game.

Too little, too late..

 

hahaha. he didn't expect to get ejected from the game? what an idiot .......... dude, you can't kick or hit players on the ground. or you will get ejected. period.

 

Now, correct me if i'm wrong but if you swing and miss, don't you still get ejected?

 

I don't know, but he did look pretty stupid trying to punch someone with a helmet on.

 

A 15 yard penalty is stupid enough but what Harris did was even more stupid.

 

I don't know why he's apologizing.

That's the most abuse he's dished out to an offensive lineman in 2 years.

 

He probably apologized because he probably felt like an idiot afterwards.
