I had discussion today about Harrison and of course the Colt McCoy incident came up.
In my opinion when Harrison goes out there and makes a play he just goes into it without thinking about it. However that time he knew what he was doing and to say he didn't care is pretty ****ed up.

Anyways, what my friend brought to attention today was how come Harrison makes hard hits and gets penalized, but when Ray Lewis does the same he doesn't get penalized?
I got to say that's a good point. Maybe Ray Lewis is getting too old I would say, but that's really a weak answer. Then I remembered didn't he light up Ward last season with a helmet to helmet. So after just looking it up recently I find this.
“Yeah, I heard from the league and like I said they fined me whatever they was going to fine me,” Lewis said. “The thing is you definitely respect them trying to protect player safety. At the same time, it won’t change not one way I play this week no matter what the fine is. You can’t stop playing defense the way defense has always been created to play. When the receiver has the ball, your job is to disengage him from the ball. You never want to hurt nobody. I’ve been in this business too long. I just think once you start getting into these fines I don’t know how they come up with the numbers most of the time.”
Interesting Lewis, at least he can be modest, but the fact is he did it, that tackle happened, and it goes to show that this is a part of the game.

For me this has been the best topic in a while (no more Manning talk) and many people can weigh in on this. Even if you'r not truly a real football fan. For instance my girlfriend thinks its awesome while my sister thinks it a disgusting act of criminal-ism.
And from what I heard I think it was the Dan Patrick show, they had ran a poll question today: If you're with the defensive team in the locker room and everyone is okay with the bounty system. Would you go along with your teammates or be against it?
My friend told me it was like 60% that agreed to go along with the bounty system. What's everyone's take on that? I'll tell you my answer, after I hear some from the rest from you guys.
