Yeah it's bad.  I was one of the few here who didn't have a problem with the majority of what James Harrison did.  

This whole thing of not taking into account the fact that receivers can lower themselves turning a hit to the chest into a hit to the head is ridiculous.  I didn't see the Gay hit outside of that little clip, but if they looked at the (do they really have jumbotrons still LOL) to make a call, they should be fired.
