NFL players and fans laughed under their breath when the Texans’ Brian Cushing denied using performance enhancing substances after being suspended four games in 2010 for violating the NFL’s PED policy. It’s not often that players call out or mock other players for that unless their name is Rodney Harrison. Rumors swirled about steroid use even before the Texans linebacker was drafted out of USC. He promised to go full OJ and find out how the hormones got into his system. We have yet tpo hear back.

Cushing should have gone full Romo and embraced the use of performance enhancing substances instead of issuing denials that would have made AC Cowlings shake his head. Bill Romanowski didn’t deny using them and anything else that would bring out the crazy. His play and antics on the field backed up his statements. Ain’t no one believe that he wasn’t on the juice. The NFL mic’ed up Cushing for the Texans game against the Browns. Watch this excerpt and see if you think he’s clean

If that’s not ‘roid rage, Blaine Gabbert is a servicable NFL QB. You can watch the full clip here. Watch Cushing’s teammates react to him. It’s as though they’re unsure how to deal with him. “Yeah dude, whatever you say. I gotta go stand over there now.” How long until he goes Michael Westbrook on an unsuspecting teammate who refuses to give him an exploding fist bump?

Debo from Friday (Editor’s note: actual nickname from his teammates) Steelers linebacker James Harrison has a penchant for helmet shots, as well as a desire to speak his mind, regardless of the potential backlash. It is precisely his fearlessness that propelled him to be the 2008 AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, as well as the guy who surrendered $100,000 last season to the Shield for devastating shots on Browns receivers Mohammed Massaquoi and Josh Cribbs.

So why should we be surprised at what he said in a new interview released by Men’s Journal (not a gay magazine btw):

On Roger Goodell

“If that man was on fire and I had to piss to put him out, I wouldn’t do it,” Harrison told the magazine. “I hate him and will never respect him.”

His other descriptions of the commissioner include an anti-gay slur, “stupid,” “puppet” and “dictator.”

Sad face for James Harrison. Somebody needs an ice cream cone…or a hug.

Harrison also criticizes other NFL execs, Patriots-turned-commentators Rodney Harrison and Tedy Bruschi (“clowns”), Houston’s Brian Cushing (“juiced out of his mind”) — and even teammates Rashard Mendenhall and Ben Roethlisberger for their performances in the Super Bowl loss.

Harrison calls the running back a “fumble machine” for his fourth-quarter turnover. Mendenhall said on Twitter on Wednesday he didn’t have a problem with what Harrison said “because I know him.” But he also included a link to his stats from last season, which show he didn’t have a pattern of fumbling.

I hate the Steelers as much as any god-fearing Cleveland Browns fan, but the numbers, and facts, don’t support Harrison. Roethlisberger may be a douche, but he delivered a perfect strike in the right endzone to Santonio Holmes to secure a victory in Super Bowl XLIII. The Steelers defense completely shit the bed against Green Bay, and Mendenhall did cough up the rock, but he still had a better game in Super Bowl XLV then Harrison did. But I’m not going to tell him any of that.
