ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – James Harrison has sarcastically offered a solution to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for their disagreement over hard hits: Use a pillow to soften the blows delivered by the Steelers linebacker.
Harrison was fined $100,000 for illegal hits this season by the NFL. He says he feels as if the league was “looking for a poster boy.”
In a deadpan delivery at Tuesday’s media day, Harrison said: “I don’t want to hurt nobody. I don’t want to step on nobody’s foot or hurt their toe. I don’t want to have no dirt or none of this rubber on this field fly into their eye and make their eye hurt.
“I just want to tackle them softly on the ground and, if y’all can, we’ll lay a pillow down where I’m going to tackle them, so they don’t hit the ground too hard, Mr. Goodell.”
