The reason the story hasn’t “gotten legs outside of Pittsburgh” is because pretty much everyone not beholden to the black and yellow feels that while the hit on Cribbs (Harrison’s college teammate) was questionable but probably legal, the hit on Massaquoi was a textbook example of a violation of the helmet to helmet rule. Harrison’s crowing about knocking out Cribbs didn’t help his cause either.

It was the intent. Josh Cribbs is sports god to Cleveland fans, for his hard play and connection to the fans. Those hits were much more than part of normal hard play; they were about taking out the two players that could most lead the Browns to victory.
