Harrison has been signed by Cheats

[Drink IRON City]

I've had my disagreements with Omar lately, but I can't really see why anyone would attack him for his name... That's just jumping right off the edge of juvenile and pretty much throwing up your arms and saying "I got nothin'. I'm going to make fun of your name!"

If you got nothin' say nothin'. It will work out better for you.

Omar has his moments just like the rest of us but he is and will be a BROTHER of arms in my STEELERS world, thank you OMAR for all your contributions here and abroad.



Salute the nation

I can't stand cheating. It isn't a "grow up" element.

I like you as a poster. But you border sometimes on extreme viewpoints. It is my view or you are a ******.

Some might say flaming posters is childish. So perhaps throwing a grow up label at me, isn't taking in account how you are acting.

This is one of those times you might want to take your own advice, and again take it down a notch. People are allowed to dislike teams and cheating.

Most people do.

Harrison was acting like a spiteful child throwing that pic up, he knew what kind of reaction he would get. As well as his complaining to the point he was released. He came into the league acting like a *** and is leaving the Steelers acting like a ***.

If you are ok with that that is your view. If someone isn't that is their view.

Slash, you're right. I apologize for being an ******* about it.

Sounds like we have a dog worshipper here amongst us. I dont wanna pay vet bills so I'm "poor" lol. This coming from one of the stupidest ************* to post on this site

You said you can't see yourself comfortable paying for food and vet bills, that's because you're poor. A few hundred dollars here and there for vet bills and food is so insignificant to me I wouldn't have even brought it up like you did. That's why you talk so much **** on here because you're a loser.

The whole thing is just sickening.

The FO shouldn't have signed him to a 2 year contract if they didn't believe he could play. And once he WAS signed, I still refuse to believe they couldn't come up with defensive scenarios where Harrison's strengths could be an asset.

I can easily see him being a ******** about his playing time. Much like Lloyd, he wasn't hired for his disposition. Still, who want's Deebo pissing and moaning 24/7 on the sidelines either. The entire fiasco just stinks of poor player and FO management. If they didn't think he could play, why the **** make some half-*** statement that "James Time Will Come." Particularly when you either have no plan whatsoever of actually using him, or if you have no idea whether or not your going to use him.

As for transitioning old less productive players out... The Steelers have made it something of an art form. See Hines Ward, and Troy Polomalu for the latest examples.

I just hate the way it was handled. If Harrison wanted out because he wasn't being played, fair enough. If the Steelers felt he was SO useless that they could let him go, fair enough. Hold a ******* press conference and have an amicable split. Say, Geez, we appreciate James' contribution and we really want to give him the chance to compete with a team that has roster space and a need for his extraordinary skill set.

And James say, I'm sorry things didn't work out in Pittsburgh this year. I love this town and I wish you all the best, but I'm born to compete and right now the team is pretty set at my position so we've all agreed to let me go out and try to find a team that will let me do what I do best.

See, everyone is happy. Or as happy as they can be and it's a PR WIN instead of a Class A Goat ****.

I am wondering how much playing time he will get from Belicheat.

Cause I can tell you the WORST thing that can happen for the Steelers from a PR perspective is for the cheaters to come up with a scheme that isolates Harrison on a TE or Tackle and allows him to just rush the QB at will. If James comes out and has a huge game against the Jets sealing the 1st seed for the P*ts, it's going to look bad for the Steelers FO.

Ironically, if he comes out and does nothing, it won't be considered unusual as he's only been with the team for a few days and wasn't expected to produce much. This week is pretty much all cake for Harrison with a huge chance of "egg on the face" for the Steelers.

Do the Steelers even HAVE PR people? Are they hiring?

Agree 100%

and now all this sudden airing of all the locker room "dirty laundry" to the public - just to keep Tomlin from being embarrassed.

Disgusting, We have become the Bengals.

 

[wig]

I imagine Hoody will want to see what he has in Harrison before the playoffs. And assuming the Jets game is not going to be too difficult for the cheats, it's a perfect time to get him out there and get him some game reps.

Harrison asked for his release and they gave it to him.

 

[wig]

It's not Tomlin so much as the entire FO.

I mean, yes, Tomlin ultimately had to pull the trigger and say, "Ok. Go ahead." But it takes a village to make this big of a clusterfuck.

 

[wig]

Harrison asked for his release and they gave it to him.

Yes. And again. That's fine. But you don't release a legend from your organization without a little ceremony. You certainly don't shuffle him out the back-door like a dirty secret. That's what I'm irritated about. Not so much THAT it was done. Just HOW and WHEN it was done.

Edit, I suppose the WHEN doesn't even matter so much as it seems Harrison did in fact want out. But the "WHEN" being right before a HUGE playoff run, means the HOW you handle it becomes very very important.

**** James Harrison.

This isn't exactly an uncommon practice.

 

[wig]

I did read the quotes by Pouncey and Gilbert. They are both angry that he went to the P*ts. Something both of them would do in a skinny minute if they were released and offered a contract by a #1 or #2 seed at this point in the season.

The only guy who's quote is valuable in the mess is Dupree's and the irony is that he's probably worse than Harrison right now even though he's 16 years younger.

He was a malcontent. Probably should have been done sooner....they probably were hoping he would come around. Everything they are saying on the talk shows is that he didn't help any of our LBers and sulked around doing his own thing. Just be happy for him. He is happy now.

 

[Tibs]

You have got to be kidding me. So now Pouncey, Dupree, Gilbert et al are 'play acting' when speaking to reporters to cover for Tomlin. I think you're starting to lose it, big guy.

Disgusting, We have become the Bengals.

I hate to say I agree, but when you say 'we' you're really just talking about yourself, given your recent posts. Truly Bengalesque.

I find it funny how you keep saying Pouncey or Gilbert would look for work else where....Just might be true. Their dipleasure I believe is they are in the middle of a run to the SB and Harrison made it about HIMSELF and not the team. That they would not have asked for their release hence they wouldn't have been looking for someone else to sign them.

 

[wig]

Just be happy for him. He is happy now.

Good advice for everyone.

Obviously, but I doubt either one tries to get their way out during the season.

 

[stillwright]

Good advice for everyone.

I agree. I hold no ill will toward him. If he didn't want to be apart of this team ...good riddance. I don't want a cancer on the team. Go to the Pats and get a few snaps per game if that is what makes you happy.

 

[chipped ham]

Hey!

Did you hear the Ravens are cutting Suggs right before the playoffs, and the Steelers are signing him?

No?

That's because the Ravens aren't ******* morons!

Yes, the ravens nog cutting Suggs would have nothing to do with his 12 sacks, and pro bowl nod, right? I'm sorry, Spike. You're a well-known poster on this board, and definitely deserve a bit of respect, but this is as ridiculous a comparison as they come. Suggs is performing at an all-pro level; Harrison has made one play, and looked bad at other times, and has been a whiny-***** in the locker room. The Steelers are 12-3, and have played solidly on defense for the better part of the year, all without but one contribution from #92. Let the *ats take him, and watch as his age continues to affect his play; he's their problem now.

 

[Chiba]

Assuming James has nothing left, the only reason the Cheats would have to sign him is ... to protect their legacy.

Think about it. Who has been one of the most vocal critics? Who accused them of cheating?

Why not take that player at the end of his career for a few meaningless snaps, DONT give him any of the secret information that other "star" (and by star I mean * ) players get, and after the season is over he will say "I was wrong, they don't cheat in New England."

And there you have it. A cheap way to try and get the stain off their record.

 

[SteelerFan448]

You don't believe this, do you? They have no depth at linebacker and needed a pass rusher. Pass rushing is about the only thing Harrison may still be able to do at this point so they went out and got the best available option. They couldn't care less about their legacy as they are sitting in their homes at night shining their many Super Bowl rings.

ha ha

You mean you believed that "airing of laundry" wasn't orchestrated? A team he gave everything for now wants to stab him in the back?

riiiiiight

And when has Maurkice Pouncey ever said anything good about somebody other than Aaron Hernandez?
