Heavily fined Pittsburgh Steeler linebacker James Harrison calls Nfl Commissioner Roger Goodell a ''crook'' and a ''devil,'' among other insults, in a magazine article.
The 2008 AP Defensive Player of the Year hasn't been shy about ripping the league after he was docked $100,000 for illegal hits last season. In the August issue of Men's Journal, his rants against Goodell reach another level of wrath.
''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.''
Harrison suggests the real way to prevent head injuries is to shorten the season to 14 games, start offseason workouts later and trim the length of training camp so ''we're not bangin' heads so much in August; that's where the brain trauma comes from.''
