The Pittsburgh Steelers excused James Harrison from practice Wednesday as the Pro Bowl linebacker contemplated retirement, according to his agent.
Basically he is pissed that he got fined $75,000 for a hit he made last game, and now is trying to prove a point. To be honest, I defend him, because the NFL is going to go too far with all these rules, and eventually it's going to turn into the NBA where you have no idea what is and isn't a foul (or in this case a flag).
Saying that, there is 0% chance that he actually retires, and I would expect that he'll be back at practice tomorrow.
***UPDATE***
Linebacker James Harrison has returned to the Pittsburgh Steelers, one day after he threatened to retire because of the NFL's stricter enforcement of dangerous hits.
Yea, shocking.
