Steelers' Harrison calls a 'crook' in the interview Goodell

NEW YORK--stark gets fined Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell a "Rogue" and a "devil," among other insults, in a magazine article.

The 2008 AP defensive player of the year was not shy about ripping the League, after he was docked $100,000 for illegal hits last season. In the August issue of men's journal reach a further anger his rants against Goodell.

"When was this man on fire and I piss had to put it out, I would do it not," Harrison told the magazine. "I hate him and never will respect him."

His other descriptions of the Commissioner include an anti-gay slur, "stupid", "Puppet" and "Dictator."

When the Steelers defeated the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl, Harrison said, would have he whispered trophy in Goodells ear during the ceremony: "why don't you stop and do something else, such as your own League in the flag football start?"

Harrison criticized other NFL execs, Patriots enabled commentators Rodney Harrison and Tedy Bruschi ("clowns"), Houston's Brian Cushing ("juiced by his spirit") - and even teammates Rashard Mendenhall and Ben Roethlisberger for their performance in the Super Bowl loss. Harrison ask whether a black player is punished more for a hard hit on a white player than the opposite.

About the insults, Harrison makes some serious points about what he misguided attempts believes the League to increase security. He explained, such as non-guaranteed contracts players make rather too high, hit, because that in the short term a torn knee band is more expensive than a concussion.

And Harrison suggests that is the real way to prevent head injuries to trimming of the season to 14 games later start offseason training and trim the length of the training camp, so that banging "we not brains so much in August;' are here comes from the brain injury."
