Ross Tucker: Harrison can't deem anything dirty

Re: Ross Tucker:Harrison can't deem anything dirty

What does using HGH have to do with calling out a dirty hit? The guy seems to think that the one should prevent the other...
 
Re: Ross Tucker:Harrison can't deem anything dirty

I actually thought it was a little stupid of Rodney to say that. He's usually a very media-savvy player who had to know how people would interpret this. I love the guy but let's face it, he's in no position to criticize other players publicly for being dirty. How hgh has anything to with it though is beyond me.

yeah...he should have probably not said it, but it still does not make it not a dirty hit.
 
Re: Ross Tucker:Harrison can't deem anything dirty

Whatever Tucker. You have the right to hide behind your computer and post whatever opinions you want. Rodney has the right to his opinion also. It's called right to free speech. I really get aggravated when MEDIA try to tell anyone that they shouldn't voice an opinion.
 
Re: Ross Tucker:Harrison can't deem anything dirty

Guys, Honestly, Harrison is a dirty player to the rest of the NFL. If he were on the colts, you would all hate his guts! I love the guy, but Harrison calling another player "dirty" is laughable. He has made some shady hits in the past, and to call out this writer for stating the obvious is hypocritical!

Some of you guys are such homers.

It has nothing to do with being a homer. I don't believe anyone in the MEDIA should be telling anyone not to have an opinion about something. THAT IS MY PROBLEM. After sitting here for an entire season dealing with spygate crap from these people, I have no patience for ANY MEDIA telling any PLAYER or whoever, that they don't have the right to comment on something.
I guess that it would have been more acceptable to the media and patriot fans if some other player not named Rodney Harrison had commented on that hit...AND I THOUGHT THAT HIT WAS DIRTY.

I'm drowning in the world's sanctimony lately.
 
Re: Ross Tucker:Harrison can't deem anything dirty

Ross Tucker is making brownie points with his patriot hating colleagues at time warner/SI by knocking former teammates, to prove his journalistic bona fides. The NBC/SI folks made Jerome Bettis and Tiki Barber do the same thing. It's a rite of passage before NBC "journalists" will cut you a check.

I guess a career writing for a dying rag like SI justifies shi##ing on your old teammates. That must be what they taught Ross Tucker at Princeton.

Your a hypocrite, imo. If that same writer was making a case for Rodney you would call him a great journalist. S*hit, your doing the same thing as Tucker....you just don't have a national platform.

You are telling us that writers don't have the right to comment on what a player can and can't say, yet you do the same thing in regards to Tuckers comments. He has just as much right to make comments about a player as you do, and frankly there have been several cases that hits by Rodney could have been deemed "dirty". Most of you want some sort of communist media, that is only allowed to say good things about the pats. This one takes the cake, because there is actually some substance to what Tucker was saying. Again, if Rodney was a Colt, you would hate his guts, and think he was dirty as a gym sock.

Do you see the irony here?

Is this guy a troll?

Why, what was so trollish about what I said. This is why I think there are so many homers on this site. Rodney has made several hits that could be deemed dirty, and I think that if he was on another team people would hate him. I love the guy, but making the point that Rodney does have a little history in regards to dirty hits does not make me a troll. Rodney calling a player dirty, is like a midget calling someone short.

No, he's not a homer. Basically, I don't have a right to have an opinion on the subject because I am a homer. It's basically the same thing he's saying about Rodney. Rodney is a dirty player so he shouldn't have an opinion on a dirty hit because he is a dirty player. I get what he's saying and I will not even argue with him. I can tell when someone doesn't give a damn about how someone else thinks on this board. I learned a long time ago. Don't argue. Let them say what they want and move on to the next topic. I have better things to do with my time than argue with people that I don't even know and who don't know me.

Man you guys are brutal. You don't get what I'm saying because it's over your head. I said that Rodney has a history of "dirty" plays according to a lot of NFL players, and for Tucker to call him out for calling another player "dirty" is not this off-base wild comment that many of you want it to be. It's almost like a writer telling the world that Bill Clinton has no right to comment on those who cheat on their wives. It's not a crazy statement!

The poster in question told me that Tucker had no right to make a comment about what Rodney can and can't say, but at the same time he was telling the board that Tucker had no right to comment on the situation. I made the homer comment, because if this guy was making a case for Rodney all you would be telling us how right he was. Someone calling out Rodney for whining about dirty hits (considering his history) has a point.


Duh.

Re: Ross Tucker:Harrison can't deem anything dirty

If the media puts it out there then we have the right to judge the validity of what they say, their motivation for saying it, and comment on all of it. Maybe it's hypocritical and maybe it's not, but either way most Pats fans are getting pretty fed up with the media annointing itself as The Word on anything and everything they can think of just to stir up *.

There are a lot of people around here who just don't get it, and the 'it' was right there is DR's post. After the handling of Spygate, Bradygate,BabyBradygate, BB's personal life, Rodney's hgh,Walshgate,GODellgate,Tubassegate, (and there's even more that goes back as far as a few years)-I'd say there's a lot of us that've about had it.
And after all that, we're somehow expected to give them a fair shake,especially over an article like this? If Tucker had any brains he'd realize Rodney's exactly the person who's opinion on this topic does in fact have value-much more value than Tucker's, who's never seen as much football as Rodney has and never will. All he can do is write about it and once he does-he's fair game in my book.
 
Re: Ross Tucker:Harrison can't deem anything dirty

Fact: Rodney has a "history", take it or leave it. Fact: Tucker has a "history", as well. We all know what Rodney's history is. This is Tucker's: he was vocally (Sirius NFL Radio) and in writing (si.com) critical of the Pats regarding the videotaping; he was vocally critical and in writing critical of them regarding the practice of working out players after they'd been placed on IR and he has taken other potshots at BB and SP. Rodney has a clear reputation, deserved or otherwise, as dirty player. Tucker deserves a clear reputation as a "hater."
 
Re: Ross Tucker:Harrison can't deem anything dirty

Wow, look at you, you're different.

I think your the immature one. I stated my opinion, and since you don't like it, out comes the accusations and claims that I'm trying to be different.

Just like you think those who booed where wrong, I think those who got upset over the boo's where wrong.

Wonderful country we live in, huh?

Wouldn't Harrison's reputation as one of the dirtiest players in the game actually make him an authority on whether a play crossed the line or not?

Claiming he should keep his mouth shut because he may have done something comparable in the past makes no sense. If someone is an expert on a subject, then their opinion should carry some weight.

That is HORSESH!T and you know it. The fact is that Williams could have ended Vrabel's career with that hit. It was low and from behind with Vrabel in a defenseless position. THAT'S FACT. And nothing about Rodney's character is going to change it.

As I told Mr. Tucker in my email telling him the same thing. If we were to take Tucker's on field contributions and use them as judgement for the validity of his articles, then they'd be 3rd string to camp fodder. In other words, useless.

Sorry, but its candy-arsed thinking like yours that is in no position to criticize people.
