Steeler Player Calls NFL Commisioner A "Devil"
NEW YORK — Heavily fined Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison calls NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell a “crook” and a “on God's green earth,” among other insults, in a magazine article.
The 2008 AP Defensive Player of the Year hasn’t been shy about exciting the league after he was docked $100,000 for illegal hits last season. In the August issue of Men’s Paper, his rants against Goodell reach another level of wrath.
“If that man was on fire and I had to piss to put him out, I wouldn’t do it,” Harrison told the armoury. “I hate him and will never respect him.”
His other descriptions of the commissioner include an anti-gay slur, “uninteresting,” “puppet” and “dictator.”
If the Steelers had defeated the Green Bay Packers in the Wonderful Bowl, Harrison said, he would have whispered in Goodell’s ear during the trophy ceremony: “Why don’t you stop and do something else, like start your own league in flag football?”
