"I’m a falcon fan and I agree...the NFL has it out for the steelers"

I don't think the league has it out for the Steelers. I just think that they are really targeting James Harrison for some reason. If you look at the fines he's getting, he got fined 50,000 for a hard hit that I thought was legal. It was hard, but iffy. Could have been a penalty, but not a fine. Yet look at what happened last week in that fight. They both got fined 25,000 for throwing punches, yanking off helmets and fighting after the whistle. Now you tell me which one was the worst offense? It's just ridiculous!

BTW, your team looks to be the best team in the NFC. Their path to the Super Bowl is being paved.

Depends on what you mean by "worse." Harrison's hits had a greater chance of causing injury, so the league, apparently, thought that they were worse.

If James Harrison doesn't like the rules, he's free to quit or go start a no-holds barred professional football league.

Yeah...falcon cb Dunta Robinson was fined 50 grand on a viscious but clean hit on Desean Jackson...yet Andre Johnson gets fined 25 grand for the fight. It’s ok if it’s an offensive player doing the hitting...I guess.

Yeah my falcons are looking good. After 38 years(I’m 43..same age as the falcons and an Atlanta native)...I’m just glad to finally have an legitimate NFL organization from top to bottom.

BTW...I watched Hines Ward play HS ball at Forest Park. Saw 5 of his games.
