Ross Tucker: Harrison can't deem anything dirty

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.

NO. Laughable is people like you who don't get that Vrabel's career could have been ended and Harrison's reputation has no bearing on the situation. Its people like yourself who have turned this society into a farce.

Its not hypocritical to call out Tucker for being an arse and trying to cloud the issue. The issue is the fact that Williams could have ended Vrabel's career by hitting Vrabel low and from behind like that. There was a rule put in not that long ago that was to prevent things like that from happening. It should have been an immediate flag on Williams. Had the flag been thrown, Vrabel wouldn't have taken matters into his own hands and gotten Williams into the pushing and shoving match.

If we were to judge Tucker by his onfield performance, he wouldn't be worth reading at all.

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

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?

What I see is a garbage writer not bothering to stick to reality and attacking the reputation of the person making the comments as if that person's reputation has any influence on the situation.

The REALITY here is that Williams hit Vrabel low and from behind in a manner that could have ended Vrabel's career. Vrabel was in a defenseless position. Does it matter that Rodney Harrison called out Williams? NOPE. It could have been ANYONE and the result would be the same. The Writer would be in the wrong for clouding the issue and you'd be wrong for supporting the writer.

THAT is the issue here. NOT the fact that it was Rodney calling out Williams.

Oh, btw, a great writer would be focusing on Williams' illegal hit on Vrabel. Not on the comments mentioned by Vrabel's teammates. So, please stop trying to tell everyone what their opinion would be in a situation.

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

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.


I dont chug the kool-aid brother.

That is the truth. You don't chug kool aid. You crap on the patriots whenever possibly with your holier than thou garbage and bloviating to try and cloud the issues.

Just because Rodney has a little history of some marginal hits doesn't mean that he wasn't speaking the truth. I have news for you. Players who have been in the league as long as him all have committed hits that were marginal and ended up with the opposing player being hurt to one degree or another.

It doesn't change the fact that what Rodney said was dead on.

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

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!

I get what you are saying. And believe me, you're a 1st grader when it comes to talking. And I have news for you. Rodney's history doesn't mean a damn thing. That is the problem with you. YOU can't be bothered to focus on the fact that TUCKER shouldn't have been calling Rodney out. He should have been calling Williams out for the hit.

Calling Rodney out is clouding the issue. Hell, its not even staying on the issue. THAT'S the real problem.

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.

No, that writer doesn't have a point. Just like you don't. The writer MISSED the point entierly. Just like you did.

You are right. You don't drink the Kool-aid. But you sure as hell aren't an intelligent fan either.

If I may interupt DABRUINZ for a moment

I've often wondered what exactly Rodney has done that is so different from other players, that makes him the "dirtiest" player in the league?

Yes, he always lays a shoulder, or forearm on a person even when the whistle has blown. Even when someone is already tackled. There's been many times I thought he would be flagged for hitting after the whistle. ummmm, alot of players on every team in the nfl do that. So what exactly makes him dirtier than the rest?

Please explain away. You too "patslifer", being that you said he has a history of being dirty.

I have often seen Rodney hit the pile after the whistle. Not as much in the last couple of years but prior to his injury. Would I consider him a head-hunter? No. Is he the dirtiest player in the league? Not by a long-shot.

Rodney is known for late hits, not blowing out knees. There's a difference between the two. Bruschi is the same way.

Well, for one, he did the same thing the Chiefs' safety did to Brady to Trent Green, when Green was with the Rams (Hello, Kurt Warner), during the Pre Season no less. So if you think the guy that hit Brady is dirty then, obviously, Rodney is too. Admit it, if Rodney played for any other team you would consider him dirty.

Ask Trent Green if Rodney is not known for blowing out knees.

Listen, I don't know about the average Patriots fan, but I've been a fan of Rodney Harrison and the way he plays the game for quite a long time. I didn't suddenly believe him to be among the leagues elite at Safety simply because he joined the NE Patriots. I'm only pointing this out since you seem to think anyone who defends Rodney or his argument happens to be a homer, and wouldn't like him if he played for another team.

Getting to the article, Rodney has every right to call another player out for what he believes to be a dirty play. His having a checkered past has no bearing on the situation whatsoever, and I don't believe Tucker should have changed the subject to past HGH use.

In my opinion this would have bean a more worthwhile article if Tucker had broken the play down, and pointed out why he thought Rodney's claims were incorrect.

In that case Ross you can't talk about football because you sucked. or maybe you can talk about football but you can only talk about sucking at it, you can't talk abuot what it takes to be good because you weren't.
