Roger Goodell took to the podium at the NFL owners' meetings in Indianapolis on Wednesday to address the lockout and the new rule changes in place to improve player safety. Unfortunately, no one asked him specifically about James Harrison hopping on Twitter Tuesday night and calling the NFL's rule-makers "idiots." Harrison tweeted: "I'm absolutely sure now after this last rule change that the people making the rules at the NFL are idiots," Harrison was referring to the new "club accountability" rule the NFL announced Tuesday. Under that rule, teams with a certain number of players (currently undetermined) who violate player safety rules will be fined a certain amount of money (also currently undetermined). Harrison wasn't the only Steeler who took umbrage to the NFL's recent decision. "Thoughts on "the Steelers rule"??? lol im sorry that im not sorry we hit 2 hard," LaMarr Woodley tweeted Wednesday morning. Source: CBS Sports
Think Goodell is keeping a tab on who to fine the day the lockout ends? After all he can't contact them right now.
Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette unloads on Harrison over this one: Cook: Harrison's remarks out of line
i know most of you hate harrison and any steeler when they speak, cause i do too for the most part but i cant really disagree
Harrison goes in the category with all the other morons with twitter. Another athlete that shouldn't have a Twitter account. For the record, I love when the Steelers speak...most of the comments are Comically idiotic. Not only that, but all the haters come out to play.
