You can kind of understand James Harrison's threat to retire earlier in the year. The NFL hates him. I'm not one to be a conspiracy theorist, however this is kind of fishy. The former defensive MVP has now been fined 123K this year, and fined another 25 K last game on a tackle on QB Ryan Fitzpatrick.
That fine and the fine on Drew Brees are completely bogus. The Massaqui fine was far too much also with 75 k. I mean how is it possible that Andre Johnson, who stopped a game by throwing punches at someone's head gets fined the same amount as someone making a hard tackle.
I know he brought a lot of this upon himself by opening his mouth, but hell someone needed too and the NFL is now taking it out against him by fining him 25 k a game basically. It has to be extremely frustrating to being fined for playing hard, and the NFL and Goodell needs to really check it's ego and let the players play. Because as a Steelers fan, it sucks to watch a good defensive team not being allowed to play good defense without being fined.
