Good, he clearly lead with the crown of his helmet. He was flagged and now fined.

to the NFL enforcing its rules.

hes been fined 100,000 so far. Which is nothing for these players. He should be suspended

The latest fine was given to Harrison two days after he met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss the NFL's stricter policy. Afterward, Harrison termed Tuesday's meeting "semi-productive.

So much for understanding he shouldn't lead with helmet and hit late.

Dude has been fined 3 times already this season, when does he get suspended? Seems like to me 2 days after a meeting with the comish on the exact subject would be grounds for suspension.

I still don't think that hit deserved a 15 yard penalty let alone a fine.

I know you're just trying to be edgy, but Harrison hit him very late. That hit is the definition of roughing the passer.

Not only was he a step late but he lowered his head to hit Brees in the back with the crown of his helmet

If it drew a fine trust me the league didn't view it as borderline by any measure

Agreed, he went for the knees after the ball was on the ground. But he does hair commercials so, it's acceptable.

Harrison's a piece of shite. He should have gone through with it when he was flirting with retirement.

sorry i still dont think that's a late hit and it's very iffy on the illegal hit. maybe a flag given his reputation and brees' stature, but not a fine IMO.

Brees is standing there without the ball for a good 2 seconds man, clearly late and not even questionable IMO

the ball is out, and brees even has time to down at his receiver to see if he's going to catch it, before he gets hit.

way late.

...and the 3rd dude into the fray that came out of nowhere. that dude was the one that caused JJ to retaliate. Absolute pittsburgh love-fest from the refs that night.

He has his head up and lowers it upon impact to spear Brees in the back. It's not even borderline.

Say what you want about pussy QB protection rules, but spearing has been illegal in the NFL for a long, long time.
