So you make the longest play in Super Bowl history...

[Danger Mouse]

then you decide to earn a penalty later in the game by not only punching somebody that's already down on one knee, but then shoving them on their ass as if to emphasize how much of a dick you're being.
A play for which you should've been tossed out of the game.
Yeah, way to go. :eyes:
Incidentally, the Cardinals should smack around the knucklehead who managed to get three holding penalties, one of them in a critical situation. What a maroon.

[Metta]

1. Yup, he should have been ejected from the game.

And the Cardinal with holding issues, you'd hope he wakes up.

[Danger Mouse]

2. I congratulate the dude on making such a huge play, but...

there's no reason at all to do something that low on the field.

[Metta]

3. Yup, he was totally out of line and unsportsmanlike. He shoulda been tossed.

:toast:

[flvegan]

4. Not to defend his actions, as they were reprehensible, but

he did damn near have his head ripped off a couple plays earlier on a facemask penalty.

But yeah, ejected would have been proper.

[Danger Mouse]

6. There seemed to be some bad blood in that game...definitely punches were thrown more than once.

[Sheets of Easter]

5. That was B.S. And I'm a Steeler fan.

[Danger Mouse]

7. Yeah, when even one of the commentators says 'I love him, but he should've been ejected'...

well, yeah.

8. Sad thing is, the guy doing the beating will probably be on a Wheatie Box

by the end of this week.

[Orrex]

19. I agree. Inexcusable.

Whatever the other guy said to him, Harrison should have taken it like a grown-up. His reaction cost his team big and could easily have been the game-killer.


How many yards did my Picksburgh Stillers lose to personal fouls? I lost count at 1500!

[Sheets of Easter]

21. Still fewer than the Cards.

Add holding to the list, and the Cardinals gave up big yardage.

[begin_within]

9. If the NFL doesn't fine him - and big time, not just a slap on the wrist - then

U.S. pro football can't be considered a "sport."

[MrSlayer]

10. Please. he was holding his block, the play was still going.

And the guy taking the holding penalties had to take them or else Warner would have been killed.

You don't seem to know much about the game.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

11. If you're saying Harrison wasn't at fault in punching the dude, I think you are wrong:

[Sheets of Easter]

12. Like I said in another thread: total dick move. I am disappointed in him.

Totally classless.

[begin_within]

13. Thank you for the GIF. That moment made me deeply ashamed to be an American.

The whole world was watching this game, and that one moment ruined it.

[RetroLounge]

25. "deeply ashamed to be an American"

:rofl:

[Zavulon]

17. Applause, applause.

I'm bookmarking this thread because of your post. Thanks for putting that up.

[Orrex]

22. Oh come on

Harrison was obviously trying to help him up.

[MrSlayer]

23. The open hand shot is why he got the flag, everything else was legal.

His assignment there is to block that one guy and he pancaked him so easily it's like he didn't know what else to do but pound him one to keep him down. It was a penalty but wasn't ejection worthy. Knocking him down after he got up wasn't because he was "being a dick" but because the play was still going on. You have to hold your block and that's what he was doing. You have to play to the whistle.

I hate the Steelers but the outrage level about this is ridiculous enough for me to defend them.

[Career Prole]

24. Damn!

What a douchebag!

[av8rdave]

18. See the video in the next posting.

Good Grief! That player and the officials don't seem to know much about the game!

[Wetzelbill]

14. It wasn't that bad.

I've arguably done a few things worse in wrestling matches. In no way should he have been tossed out, but he did get hit with a penalty and he deserved it. Being a dick while competing kind of goes with the territory, I'd be more surprised if a guy that good wasn't a dick.

[Initech]

15. Oh that was so bullshit.

I'm still pissed off at that play. :mad:

[tigereye]

16. the amount of penalties were over the top!

but I wonder what was said to Harrison to make him lose his cool like that...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. I wondered the same thing...

I also wondered if Harrison's testosterone levels run on the high side.

[RetroLounge]

26. Sounds a bit like sour grapes

It was an OPEN HAND. He didn't punch anyone.

He got a penalty. He deserved it.

Outrage much?

27. it's football...not croquet...and hell croquet would be far more exciting

if people beat each other with the mallets...
