LOL @ Roy Williams.....come on son!
That girl said "what ring?"
LMAO!
Is this dude on the Steelers a lunatic? lol
So deep is the linebacker's loathing for the league's commissioner that he says he'd ignore the tenets of fire prevention if he encountered an enflamed Goodell.
"If that man was on fire and I had to [urinate] to put him out, I wouldn't do it," Harrison told Men's Journal. "I hate him and will never respect him."

My favorite Harrison quote is still this.
"This is how I feel -- if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don't win the Super Bowl. As far as I'm concerned, he would've invited Arizona to the white house if they had won."
I'm surprised Harrison didn't turn down his Super Bowl ring because they would have just given them to Arizona if they won.
lol @ him calling out Ben and Mendenhall when he had 1 garbage time tackle in the game, and got owned all night long by Chad Clifton.
I can remember a time not long ago when the Steelers would never have put up with this guys crap.
What an incredibly stupid ass nigga!!!
After capping a stellar season with a subpar performance in Super Bowl XLV, it’s understandable if James Harrison and the rest of the Pittsburgh Steelers are less-than-happy about the way the 2010 season ended.
But after James Harrison’s comments to Men’s Journal, it’s tough to imagine the mood will be any lighter when Steelers training camp opens this summer. Speaking of teammate Ben Roethlisberger's play in Super Bowl XLV, Harrison said:
"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."
It’s doubtful that the fact that Roethlisberger’s second interception of the game came on a play that started on the Packers 49-yard line, technically “their side of the field” will make Harrison reconsider his comments.

But Big Ben’s unparalleled ability to lead the Steelers out of their own territory in the regular season should.
In 2010, Roethlisberger not only didn’t ask the Steelers defense to bail him out frequently, he was arguably the best quarterback in the league at helping his team reverse field position when backed up against its own goal line.
Roethlisberger completed 147 of 204 passes for 2,094 yards with three TDs and three interceptions in his own territory last season. His 103.7 passer rating here is even more impressive when one considers the difficulty in throwing touchdowns on plays that originate at least 51 yards from the end zone.
Of the 33 quarterbacks who threw at least 100 passes in their own territory last regular season, none had a better passer rating on those attempts than Roethlisberger, and his 10 yards per attempt on these passes was also best in the NFL.
Just three of Roethlisberger’s 204 passes from his own end were intercepted last season, an interception percentage of 1.47 percent. Only three of the 33 QBs mentioned above had a lower interception of percentage in their own territory – Josh Freeman, Tom Brady and Alex Smith.

Harrison also made the comment that Roethlisberger is trying to emulate Peyton Manning with his play in his own territory. In fact, he’s been much better than the Indianapolis Colts future Hall-of-Famer in such situations.
Twelve of Manning’s 17 interceptions last season came on the Colts side of the field, more than all but three other NFL quarterbacks. And Manning’s passer rating in his own territory was 78.4, a full 25 points behind Big Ben’s.
The stats show that Roethlisberger has been a better quarterback than Manning in his own territory. If Harrison is tired of his defense being asked to bail out the Steelers offense time and time again, he should be thankful that Ben is no Peyton. He’s only paid like him.
I'll bet Ben has already started stalking Harrison's sister. She's gonna get it The Big Ben way!

Sorry, but I can’t hate the Eagles: Rival fan’s take
As a New York Giants fan, I feel obligated to hate the Philadelphia Eagles. But I'm here to admit that I just can't do it.
http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/ac/a6/fullj...HzBpg38nTZfA-- How can anybody, even a Giants fan, hate Eagles head coach Andy Reid?
Wikimedia Commons
I can't stand the Dallas Cowboys, I have no love for the Washington Redskins, but there is something about the Eagles that makes me secretly root for them against the other two. It may have something to do with my admiration for Eagles head coach Andy Reid, a real stand-up guy who says the right things, or the swagger of Eagles fans, which in many ways is similar to that of Giants fans. Of course, Giants fans have seen their win three Super Bowls since 1986, but who's counting?
By the way, I have every right to hate the Eagles. They have beaten the Giants six straight times, including last season's epic comeback at the New Meadowlands Stadium in which the Giants blew a 21-point halftime lead before losing on DeSean Jackson's(notes) punt-return touchdown as time expired. Jackson's scamper into the endzone on New York's turf basically killed Big Blue's 2010 season.Speaking of Jackson, that's one dude on the Eagles I can't stand (I didn't say hate), but he can play for my team any day.
I realize that Eagles fans are Phillies fans who take joy in taunting my New York Mets. That's okay. Try sharing a city and the sports section with a team that has won 27 World Series championships. When it comes to being obnoxious, Philadelphia fans have nothing on Yankees fans. As a matter of fact, if there is a rematch of the 2009 World Series in October between the Phillies and Yankees, I've got your back, Philly.
Apparently, there is no love lost between the players on the Eagles and Giants. Earlier this off-season, Philly running back LeSean McCoy(notes) called Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora(notes) "soft" and "overrated." Umenyiora and teammate Steve Smith fired back at McCoy, who the Giants affectionately have named "Lady Gaga." Do I hate McCoy? On the contrary, I love that stuff! It'll be that much sweeter when the Giants tune him up on the field.
No, I don't hate the Eagles, but there's nothing I would love more than seeing the Giants stomp them out this season.

Michael Vick's continued efforts to help end dog-fighting will take him to Capitol Hill today.The Eagles quarterback will join Humane Society of the United States president Wayne Pacelle in announcing support for legislation that would penalize criminals who finance animal fighting or who bring children to such events as dogfights and cockfights.
The bill, H.R. 2492, was introduced by U.S. Reps. Tom Marino (R-Pa.) and Betty Sutton (D-Ohio). It's aimed at correcting the gap in federal law on animal fighting and aiding a crackdown on the crime, according to The Morning Call.

NFL lockout has top draft pick tackling weeds
Birmingham, Alabama (CNN) -- Had this been any other year in the National Football League, rookie Marcell Dareus would probably have been a multimillionaire by now.
But because of the NFL work stoppage, the top defensive prospect, chosen third overall by the Buffalo Bills this year, does not draw an NFL-sized paycheck -- or one at all, for that matter.
Instead, the former University of Alabama standout awaits a resolution to the months-old lockout as the only landscaper in Birmingham with his own trading card.
"I'm really anxious about the season starting," said Dareus, 21, from atop his John Deere riding mower. "I can't wait to get to Buffalo to see the fans. I can't wait to get the whole feeling of the NFL. It's surreal."
There are signs that the lockout could be coming to an end soon; the league's 32 owners are scheduled to meet in Atlanta Thursday where they are expected to vote on a new labor agreement with the players union.
SI.com's full coverage of the NFL and the lockout
Meanwhile, Dareus, a 300-pound NFL lineman, is tasked with manicuring suburban lawns under the scrutinizing eye of Lester "Sarge" Reasor, a retired drill sergeant who barely rises to Dareus' massive forearms.
"This could have been edged up a little better right here," Reasor said, pointing to a patch of lawn.
The fact that Dareus stands on the cusp of fame as a professional football player hasn't softened Sarge's orders.
"I've got to roust him up about 6 o'clock every morning," he said. "(I get) him out of bed to get these lawns cut."
With seemingly every home in the neighborhood belonging to either a family member or friend of the Reasors', Dareus has an endless supply of lawns to cut and hedges to trim.
KJCT: NFL lineman works as river guide
Sarge's boot-camp-style work schedule makes two-a-days at an NFL training camp seem like a walk in the park: After his wakeup call, Dareus' first task each day is to wash the lawnmower before heading out in the stifling Alabama heat.
"(Sarge) likes to wait until noon, when that sun is beaming straight on you," Dareus said.
"My job as a drill sergeant was to inspect and make sure the soldiers were doing what they were supposed to do," Reasor said. "I taught them how to be neat and clean and proficient."
It's something, Sarge says, he tries to instill in Dareus.
Though he gently chides Dareus over his tidiness and weed-wacking acumen, the bond between the football star and the retired drill sergeant is unmistakably one of mutual respect and affection. And it is a relationship that they both needed at precisely the same moment in time.
The Reasor family, deeply involved in service to their community, took Marcell in when he was in high school after chronic illness left his mother ill-equipped to provide even the most basic of necessities for her seven children.
Sarge and his wife, Juanita, whose own children were grown, enjoyed having the gentle giant of a teenager in their empty nest.
The aging Sarge, with all of those lawns to cut, was thrilled with the live-in help.
"God sent (Marcell and his brothers) right here in the nick of time to save me," said Sarge, whom Dareus refers to as his godfather.
Dareus' mother passed away last year before getting to see her son realize his dream of being drafted into the National Football League.
Before she did, however, she entrusted Sarge with fulfilling a dream of her own: for Dareus to graduate from college.
Though he may have left Tuscaloosa for Buffalo, Dareus hopes to graduate by December with the help of online courses.
It's something that would serve him well if there were no NFL.
But Dareus isn't thinking about the lockout. He's thinking about the place he wants to be the most: the football field.
"I really can't wait. I'm just anxious to get back on the field."
The thoughts of the field below him and the man who tends to it also remain close.
"My godfather hates crabgrass. Hates it," Dareus said. "I'm going to buy him the best crabgrass killer money can buy."
Well, at least he has a job. The good thing is that he'll be swimming in money soon.
gotta stay busy and outta trouble somehow. cant go hangin out with Ray Lewis and get corrupted to doing evil things
