Dirty POS James Harrison blows the whistle on Tomlin's rulebreaking?

...Harrison complained about the fine at the time, suggesting that he may retire. He didn’t. But something else, according to him, did happen.

Appearing on the Barstool Sports “Going Deep” podcast (via TMZ.com), Harrison claimed that coach Mike Tomlin had a gift for Harrison.

“I ain’t gonna lie to you, when that happened, right?” Harrison said. “The G-est thing Mike Tomlin ever did, he handed me an envelope after that. . . . I ain’t gonna say what, but he handed me an envelope after that.”

It could have been $75,000. It could have been the after-tax net of the $75,000 that Harrison lost. It could have been any amount, if it indeed happened. Harrison says it did. NFL rules are clear that fine amounts must come from the player who is being punished, with no reimbursement from the team or anyone else...

 

...The Steelers have not responded to a text message from PFT seeking comment on the matter. The NFL separately has declined comment.

Given that the incident predated the bounty scandal — and in light of the fact that the NFL poured cement into an obvious rabbit hole of proof that other teams had done the same thing — chances are the NFL won’t poke around at a long-healed scar....

I don't fucking care... and any money changing hands doesn't change that Harrison was a Grade AA Piece of Shit when it came to dirty plays.

Loved Harrison ... only time he hurt me was when he slammed VYs head into the field.......and no flag was thrown.  It was a different time, I suppose.

Harrison greatly disrupted the careers of Colt and Vince.

Harrison seems like the kind of guy who would be pretty anti-snitching.
