Super Bowl Media Day has transformed James Harrison from the schoolyard bully to the class clown.

Harrison, the Steelers linebacker who racked up fines topping six figures this season, mocked NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell when asked about the league’s commitment to player safety. Harrison joked about players getting hurt as reminiscent of kids stubbing their toes, and he offered a suggestion for how the game could be made safer.

“Lay pillows down where I tackle them so they don’t get hurt when they hit the ground, Mr. Goodell,” Harrison said.

Straight talk from Harrison is always good. Goodell is obviously biased against the Steelers.

Anyone have an audio link? Heard it on the radio today and hearing all of what Harrison says is an instant classic.

James was killing it. He was asked if we should expect hard hits on Sunday and he said "no we don't wanna hit too hard because then we'll get fined."

Between James sounding extremely pissed off and Ryan Clark sounding a wee bit miffed as well, I think our D is getting ready to lay some SERIOUS wood on the Packers' O.


ARLINGTON, Texas -- Hopefully everyone enjoyed Tuesday's Countdown Live coverage of Super Bowl XLV media day (http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post?id=23678&page=espntexas), which remains archived for those who want to read through our conversation. Media day gets a bad rap because there are always a handful of quasi-celebrities who try to make the event more about them than the game. But I find that the chaos of it often compels our familiar cast of characters to say and do unexpected things during the hour they spend in the stadium.

So in no particular order, here is what I found interesting while circulating among the Green Bay Packers (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/gb/green-bay-packers) and Pittsburgh Steelers (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/pit/pittsburgh-steelers) on Tuesday:
