James Harrison, Ryan Clark say the Patriots got what they deserved
Any bets on how much they get tagged for this? I'm betting at least $20K each.

They probably will, because God forbid someone talk ill of Der Kommissar's favorite team. But I bet most fans outside of New England will agree with them.
Don't put a target on your back. You don't have to say everything you're thinking.
I don't think they will get fined though. If Harrison can say what he did about Goodell without issue, then this shouldn't be a problem.
Little late for that. But of course it's perfectly OK for a lard-assed employee of the league's network to diss an entire fan base on Twitter (see Warren Sapp's recent comments directed at Steelers fans after the Broncos game).Quote:

It's not just this board "harping" on it. They are hated by many of teams' fans for it. Dark clouds never go away. Facts are facts: They are 0-2 in the Super Bowls since Spygate. Period.Quote:

i don't know for sure but we had hope & porter then.
either way, it is what it is. it's a fact they cheated just the commish blocked the years of tapes from getting released so it's fair play to talk about. hopefully brady & belicheck never win another, i believe in karma!
They wont and shouldnt.
Didnt the Pats beat the Steelers in the AFC Champ. Game that year? The Steelers were 15-1 but didnt make the SB.Quote:

I know they wont get fined, because they were telling the truth as they believe it, and that truth is documented by the fact that the Patriots were punished for in fact cheating.Quote:

Oh man how quickly we forget!!! Yes they came into Pittsburgh with a huge winning streak on holloween and we destroyed them, then went on to beat the eggles the very next week on the next biggest win streak. Then in the championship game they turned the tables on us. Hines Ward said it was like they knew our plays before we ran them.Quote:

Harrison insults Patriots after Super Bowl
http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/pos...ter-super-bowlQuote:
Harrison has a long reputation for cheap shots on the field, many of which can defended by his old-school mentality of playing football. But there is no defending this cheap shot. It was a low blow, and Harrison should know better.
Can we start a movement to get this clown out of there? At least James Walker made somewhat of an attempt at journalism. It's like Tim Lumber is now running the AFC North blog over there. Like FS 76 said, Where was the outrage at Sapp's insults aimed at the entire Steelers' fanbase after the Steelers loss?
Don't forget Arians was at the helm and everyone knew the plays we'd be running.Quote:

I'm not worried about it and neither are Harrison and Clark. They know what they said was 100% the truth and if a fine did come out of it would they care, probably not.
Yes, since when can you be fined for telling the truth?
Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if GODell does step up and say something to Harrison, but fining someone for the truth would be crazy.Quote:
