Default Rodney Harrison writes forward in Davd Tyree's book

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...fseason/1.html

As noted in Peter King's column. My apologies if this was already posted.

Tyree's written a faith-based autobiography - and in a very classy move Harrison gave his perspective. I'm pretty pleased by this as most Patriots fans I speak to have been pretty classy in giving the Giants the credit they deserve in their win - and haven't defaulted to excuses like nearly every team/team fans the Patriots have beaten over the last 8 years.

Here's what Rodney said in response to why he wrote it:

Quote:
When you lose, Harrison said via text message Sunday, learn from it, congratulate [the opponent] and move forward. They won. They beat us. It's part of the deal. God has blessed me through the whole ordeal. I think the message of faith, belief and trust in God needed to be heard. That's why I did it.
And for what it's worth, King lambastes Asante Samuel, not Rodney for letting that catch happen.

Very Classy move from Rodney.

As well he should have. King is a moron, but even he has eyes. Samuel could have blasted Tyree and jarred the ball loose. I liked Asante but the one big problem I had with him was that he was afraid to hit. While his other talents may have won us a few games, his one major deficiency helped lose us a Super Bowl and the greatest single season record of all time.

The best piece of work Peter King has written in a long time... maybe forever.

I might be wrong but I don't think Asante was near the play....I remember James Sanders being close but not Asante.

Now Asante could have held onto the pic though.

He wasn't on the screen but he was in the area. Close enough to zoom into the camera's view and take Tyree's head off. And yes, he could have held onto that pick as well.

Leave it to Mr. Double Standard King to say that the Patriots should cut Kaczur.

Quote:
2. I think it's hard to believe the Patriots will have Nick Kaczur on their roster at the start of the season, unless this sordid OxyContin case is still in the early stages of litigation. I find it hard to believe he'll be on the team at all this year, what with the nearly unprecedented PR troubles the Patriots have had.

You don't want to throw a guy out with the trash if he's got a painkiller addiction, true. (And it is only an allegation now, though the Drug Enforcement Administration claims Kaczur cooperated in a sting to catch a painkiller dealer who sold pills to him at least three times, each transaction being 100 tablets of OxyContin for $3,900.) But there's got to be some discipline coming from the league, and the Patriots have to know every team in the league is going to be looking at them to see how they handle Kaczur.
Mr. Double Standard first ranks on the Patriots for viedotaping when he has evidence that other teams do it, and he makes barely a mention of the other incidents.

Now he wants one man, Kaczur, held to a higher standard than anyone else. The NFL already has a drug policy. Kaczur has obviously run afoul of it. Why should Kazcur be held to a higher standard than, say, Shawn Merriman or any other player? If this is his second offense, the league will punish him. If it's his first offense, Kazcur will be on the field on opening day, no matter how much Peter King wants to hold the Patriots to a different standard.

Who is Asante Samuel? Is he even on our team? I thought he plays for the Eagles.

And who is that Adam V fellow I keep hearing about on this board?

If you were smart, you'd hold yourself to a higher standard and not read King.
