Steelers Release James Harrison, I Am Pretty Sad About It

Behind Ben, James Harrison has been my favorite Steelers ever. He was everything about Steeler football I loved, he was tough as nails, feared as shit and just an incredible line backer. He was unapologetic and just played the game the way it should be, physical. If he got fined on the way so be it, but he was just everything to the defense, despite declining stats over the past few years.

Harrison was work out warrior and despite all of his off field comments and the way he handled himself, he is what a linebacker should be. He put his all into everything and made the greatest defensive play in NFL History in the Superbowl against the Cardinals. He was unwilling to take a pay cut, and the cash strapped Steelers had to do what they had to do. The funny thing is with all of the older defensive players being released, I don't think Harrison will get paid what the Steelers offered him at the reduced price.

I sure as hell will miss him and wish him nothing but the best. Whoever, picks him up will have a really good football player on their team.

Titus Young Is A Nut Job

Before last season started I thought Titus Young could be a nice steal in fantasy drafts. Well, now he isn't even on a team and is apparently a psychopath.

He blew up on his team saying he would rather stay home then play for them (Lions). Then asked to be released if he wasn't going to be in their plans. He was sent home several times for different things (punching fellow players, ect), and even stated that he is better than Calvin Johnson.

I think his high school coach said it best about that last statement...

“He did tell me he thought he was just as good Megatron,” Robinson said, according to the paper. “I said, ‘Titus, come on.' I said, ‘Come on, man. Who you talking to?' I said, ‘Come on, you're as good as that guy? This guy is the real deal.' And he really believes this. And he was sincere about it. ‘Ah man, I'm better than him.' I said, ‘No you're not. Be real man. Come on.' So I don't know, I'm hoping for the best for him.”

I mean you want your WRs cocky, but that's just absurd. There isn't anyone close to Calvin, and it's obvious Young is just a moron. Saying that, I am sure he will get picked up, since this league is crazy about WRs now, and he is still just 23 years old.
