"Rodney Harrison, who played safety for the Patriots from 2003-2008 and is currently a free agent, was a guest on Dan Patrick's radio show on Wednesday. The topic of the NFL's rule changes was discussed, and Harrison said he thinks the league has gone too far. A summary of Harrison's comments is posted on SI.com, where the audio to the interview is also available. Harrison told Patrick that "football is supposed to be a man's sport" and "the game is going to slow down and it's going to get softer. It's like patty-cake right now (Boston.com)."
There is a big part of me that agrees with Harrison 100%. Sure he was a dirty player, but I see him like I see Hines Ward...guys who will give everything they have to win. Some of the rules changes have gone too far, and it is going to get to the point that the NFL is going to be like the NBA where the refs can have more to do with the outcome of the game, rather then how good each team plays. The NFL is doing what they think is best, which is trying to keep the star players on the field and healthy, but at some point there needs to be a line drawn, or this sport is going to go down the shitter.
