    Harrison fine $25K for hit on Fitz



    PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Steelers linebacker James Harrison was fined $25,000 on Tuesday for his penalized hit on Buffalo quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.

    Harrison has four fines this season totaling $125,000.

    Harrison drew a roughing-the-passer penalty for hitting Fitzpatrick helmet-first during Pittsburgh's 19-16 overtime victory Sunday.

    His Coach said of the fine, he has two kids, that money could have been used for their college education.

      Ryan has a kid and a wife, a hit like that can leave him with mental issues down the road. Thats a bull-**** answer

          With some of the things Harrison has said over the last few years on various issues, I would guess that he's one of the dumbest people in the NFL.

              It's funny how many people are flipping out about this and saying Harrison is the poster boy for the new rules and is being targeted. While that may be true, the hit he put on Fitz would've been flagged and fined no matter who did it.

                That's infuriating! What a horse-*** response. The hit certainly wasn't one of Harrison's most egregious fouls, but he lead with his helmet which is still a foul. It was a great play had he just turned his head. The hit wasn't late or anything like that. It was just a dumba$$ play by a guy who should know better at this point. It's also not asking him to change his game which I've heard. Make the same exact play, but turn your head and there's no penalty, no precious seconds lost in the effort and your kids can still go to college some day.

                  Memo to Harrison, stop leading with the crown of your helmet and the fines will stop. Not too difficult to figure out.

                    Like Harrison knows anything about paying for college education. He probably got his for free...

                      You stole my reply.

                      It's not the fact that he hit Fitz, it's HOW he hit him. By launching upwards with his helmet, catching Fitz under the facemask. At least that's how I saw it on the scoreboard at the game.

                      Harrison is like the kid who gets grounded for beating up smaller kids, but whines about it when he gets caught.

                        I think Harrison was targeted there. It was a violent hit but looked clean to me. He has a bad reputation. That I think had more to do with both the penalty and fine than anything else. That's just my opinion though.

                          If I was Harrison I would learn how to TACKLE like a real NFL player and not with the helmet.

                          He might as well set up a ACH withdrawl from his checks to the NFL becaause from what I see he is a dirty player.....
                          There was 1 play that he directly used his helmet to go after the back of Lee Evans........

                            His problem is that he launches himself and leads with the helmet, making no attempt to tackle somebody - he just wants to use his helmet as a weapon.

                            Sadly, I think the only thing that might stop these guys from doing that will be when one on these "tacklers" breaks his neck when he leads with the crown of his helmet.

                              Even then, who knows? It seems like a lot of these players have the mindset of a teenager - "that will never happen to me, he was just unlucky."
