Re: Harrison interview with NESN - Rodney to be honored
Congrats to the three of them. I was little young for the Chiefs days here but I still love him.
Rodney and Pedro though have a special place in my heart.
If I created a top ten list of my Favorite boston athletes both would easily be on it and likely in the top 5. Pedro might be the only non-Patriot on the list.
Re: Harrison interview with NESN - Rodney to be honored
He threw Brady under the bus last year before the SB, so I will have a sour taste in my mouth for a while about his lack of loyalty in the name of "honesty".

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.

When/how did he do that?
And who cares anyway - he has a job to do now. He's paid good money by NBC to provide insight. Loyalty to his past employers & co-workers should not come before that obligation, that would be awfully unfair of him.

He'd have said that when he was here. He was a safety after all. Defensive players all feel that offensive players are over protected and QB's most of all. And part of the reason Brady's relationship has always worked with his teamates on both sides of the ball is he gives as good as he gets and he accepts whatever they attempt to dish in his direction in the spirit within which it's being given. Those two in particular appreciate that neither one of them is as likely to have two of their rings without the leadership and playmaking ability of the other.
Re: Harrison interview with NESN - Rodney to be honored
I thought the title of the article was humorous:
"Harrison thinks he could play 20 years under the new rules"
Harrison could have played six games under the new rules before he would have been suspended indefinitely, if he played the way he played in his first five years.

Harrison is a paid analyst by NBC. He can't be a complete Patriots' rump swab (although most Patriots haters will say he is). He is paid to speak his mind, not to have Brady's back. If he criticized Brady and the criticism was valid (I don't know what you are talking about specifically), I have no problem with him throwing Brady under the bus.
Re: Harrison interview with NESN - Rodney to be honored
Rodney could teach semimars on what "it" is. He both got it and has it, much like his QB and HC.
Quote:
"Junior Seau is directly responsible for me having the career that I had. As a rookie, I looked at Junior Seau every day at practice and I said, 'Junior, why do you practice so hard.’ He’s running around, a muscular guy, and he said, ‘Rodney, I get paid to practice. I’d play the games for free. It’s easy to go in front of 60,000-70,000 people and play. You don’t need motivation [for that].' But to come in and practice every single day and practice like it’s a game, that’s what Junior Seau taught me. I implemented that in my program and I did that over the course of my career. When I retired, the biggest compliment I got was when Bill Belichick said, ‘Rodney was the best practice player I had in 31 years.’ That’s what it’s about, because that sets the tone. I don’t care if it’s business or sports, when you come with that positive type of attitude, you come with that type of energy, it’s electric. People catch on. People want what you have. You don’t have to be a great athlete. But if you have your heart, the will to win, dude, you can accomplish anything you want. I was a decent athlete. I wasn’t great. But I had the will."
He also talks about why he probably transitioned better. He ultimately wanted out. He didn't want to live his entire life under the stress and with the anxiety inherent in players. Said his wife had predicted earlier that year he'd have to be carried off the field for him to retire, and said it hit him as he was being carried off the field that this was it, that is why he was waving. Teams did inquire, he was done.
And more from Chris Price where Rodney talks about criticizing his old team and why he does it and how he believes they are on the right track and what they need to get back to the SB.
