This is an unexpected turn of events...
"More fallout: Steelers LB James Harrison was excused from practice today and his agent said Harrison is contemplating retirement."

If you're the type of person who would just up and quit on your team in the middle of the season because you're not allowed to be a dirty player anymore, then you're probably doing your team a favor by retiring.

I'd hate to see him retire in this manner.
Quiting on his team mates.
Not the way I'd want to be remembered.

Maybe he doesnt believe he is a dirty player. Just because a few fans view him as such doesnt mean he looks at himself that way. For all we know he could just see himself as a physical ballplayer unfairly singled out. We dont know whats going through his head right now.
There's no excuse for quitting on your team in the middle of the season. If you feel like you're being unfairly singled out, why take it out on the other 52 guys you play with? Suck it up and try to play the best you can within the rules.
Sorry, it's hard for me to feel sorry for a guy who gets paid millions of dollars to play a game and whines about not being allowed to play a certain way. Life's not always fair.
I would agree but again he's losing a lot of money playing the way he thinks football should be played. We may not agree with his methods nor his comments in the media but to him maybe thats what football is about. I personally wouldnt quit but i would be hard pressed to consider it if i was going to lose a lot of money for what i thought was just physical play. Maybe he is just venting who knows.
"Screw you guys, I'm going home."
I don't think he retires either. I think he's just whining and being overly-dramatic about it.
Oh cry me an f**king river. I saw a stat this morning on either ESPN and/or the Mike and Mike show that indicated that of the 3 people fined, Harrison was losing the smallest percentage of his pay or salary due to the fine while Merriweather was losing the most or biggest percentage of his salary. I am not defending or justifying what Merriweather did, but he is a FIRST time offender while Harrison is a REPEAT offender. Nonetheless, Merriweather loses a larger percentage of his pay when he is fined. Now that is Bullsh*t!
Too bad she doesn't cheer for the Patriots dressed like this
