Fair Play Lessons By Rodney Harrison

Good one, right?! As some of you might expect, the title is full of irony. Even though he tried his best after New England's embarrassing blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Harrison got worked up over what he thought was a dirty hit by Miami's Ricky Williams against Mike Vrabel. Williams laid a low block on the Patriots linebacker on Ronnie Brown's 62 yard touchdown run in the second half. The block might have been dirty, maybe not. But what am I even thinking about it, let's rather hear what the role model for fairness himself, Rodney Harrison, had to say: “There’s no place in the game for that. (But) it’s part of the game. You have to protect yourself. It’s disappointing that guys don’t take care of each other, but we’ll just have to be on guard, because there’s some dirty stuff out there.” Oooohh, sounds almost like a conspiracy from which the Patriots out of all teams have to be protected. If you haven't broke down laughing as of yet, consider this: Here we have Rodney Harrison, a well known late hitter who got voted as the "dirtiest player in the NFL" by not only the players but also the coaches, complaining about dirty play against his teammates. Pretty funny I would say and well, Rodney Harrison doesn't look like the smartest guy around whining about something with which he made a living for years. But hey, it's all about fair play! We'll wait for more lessons from Mr. Harrison...
