He has used some underhanded tactics in the past on the field, but aside from that, he's never been a problem. He's a throwback to a different era of the game. Had he played in the days of Butkus, Lambert, Bednarik, Dobler, even Ray Lewis (who was a douche off the field) et al., he'd be considered a great. Now, if you say guys like that and someone like James Harrison are douchebags, I'll concede your point. I just don't think he's that bad a guy for retaliating in what has been a one sided dirty hit parade affair historically speaking.
I wasn't a big Harrison fan. I didn't hate him, but I didn't really like him either. I think he was a little too rough for today's football. Just like Burfict. They would have been great back in the day, but with the pussified version of the NFL that we get to watch now, they seem more of a liability.
