The Facts:
In an explosive Men's Journal interview where he lambasted NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Steelers hard-hitting linebacker James Harrison also lowered the boom on a teammate: Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger threw a pair of interceptions in the Steelers' Super Bowl loss to the Green Bay Packers. “Hey, at least throw a pick on their side of the field instead of asking the D to bail you out again," Harrison said. "Or hand the ball off and stop trying to act like Peyton Manning. You ain’t that and you know it, man; you just get paid like he does.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That's going to make a wave or two in the locker room. But Harrison wasn't done. Asked about Goodell, Harrison said: “If that man was on fire and I had to piss to put him out, I wouldn’t do it. I hate him and will never respect him.” Harrison also called Goodell a “crook” and a “devil” and a “puppet” and a “dictator.” Harrison also described Goodell with the use of a “gay slur. ...” While none of this has a ton of Fantasy impact, it's definitely interesting. It will be even more interesting if Harrison shows up for a spot on ESPN's SportsCenter, currently scheduled for 6 p.m. eastern team.
