Just hours after Steelers linebacker James Harrison delivered a devastating (and illegal) helmet-to-helmet blow to Browns star Josh Cribbs last week — Cribbs hugged it out with Harrison’s mom
This photo was taken at the stadium — roughly 30 minutes after the game — and we’re told Mama Harrison told Cribbs, “I hope you’re OK.”
Cribbs — who played on the same team with Harrison at Kent State — explained that he wasn’t upset with Harrison, because it’s all part of the game.
The NFL has since fined Harrison $75,000 for the K.O. shot.

I think facts are wrong … HE was not fined for the Cribbs hit

“James Harrison delivered a devastating (and illegal) helmet-to-helmet”

Are you serious? Or just a hater? Ok, the helmet to helmet was borderline. But to rule it was intentional and fine the guy 75K, lame.How can you prove intent of helmet to helmet? When some non-player sitting in front of a tv screen replaying it in super slow motion over and over again places judgement on him, it really erks me!

Please leave sports arena alone. The Cribbs hit was legal. Check your facts. Go back to following stupid Hollywood people.

The Merriweather hit was the most blatant illegal hit! He launched helmet first up to Heap. As much as I don’t like the Ravens, I don’t like seeing players go down from an illegal hit. On BOTH of James’ hits you can clearly see him trying to knock the player with his shoulder and arms. In the split second the receiver has to react, most people flinch and drop their heads. How is a player supposed to account for that? Someone, PLEASE tell me.

I just figured out what is going on here, with all of this talk about head shots.
The NFL doesn’t care about these head shots, they’re doing all of this to keep the Brett Favre affair off of ESPN.
Notice how no big stories have been run about Favre’s meeting with NFL security?
This is typical of scummy lawyer tactics, Goodell is a lawyer, right?
It’s time to fire that slimeball before he completely ruins the game of football
