Be happy, Harrison: NFL crackdown backs Steelers' 'nasty' rep

[stillers4me]

I'm James Harrison or any other defensive player on the Pittsburgh Steelers (http://www.nfl.com/teams/pittsburghsteelers/profile?team=PIT), I'm not complaining about the fact the NFL is singling out me or my team for the flagrant hits we deliver.


I'm embracing it.

Hey, guys, the NFL has gone as far as to establish legislation (http://www.nfl.com/goto?id=09000d5d81ffd6cd) -- calling for teams to be fined for players' repeated rule-breaking hits -- that for all practical purposes bears your name. And when anyone mentions the "Steelers rule," the first word that comes to mind is "nasty."

And when anyone mentions the "Steelers rule," the first word that comes to mind is "nasty."Or if you're one of the butthurt multitude of Steelers haters, you equate "nasty" with "dirty." After ironically bitching and squawking how the Steelers have the refs in their back pocket as the league implements yet another rule nicknamed after the Steelers, of course.

We've had this reputation since the 70's. And every commissioner tries to outlaw us out of the league because it's not fair. Boo hooo................Nothing new to see here. Mel Blount rule, Hines Ward rule, Steeler rule. And we still have more Lombardi trophies than anyone else. Next.
