Yes, you're correct. It's not lethal; however, if you look at his reasoning and his actual intent, he's actually spot on. The guy was never going to go on to be a professor - he's chosen a path that is more dependent on his knees than his well-functioning brain.

Is he wrong to prefer a serious concussion to a sprained knee? In my opinion, not at all. As a football player, you have 6 productive years if you're lucky. And after that, the jig's up. You better pray you spent/saved wisely because that's all you're going to get for the rest of your life. You can tough out your remaining 3 years with serious migraines, but you can't tough out poor knees for your remaining 3 years.

What he said is quite astute, if not poorly worded.

Riiight, better to end up like poor John Mackey did...

This guy is a dunce, pure and simple. And one thing (probably the only thing) not tolerated in NFL locker rooms is publicly throwing your teammates under the bus...especially for a game that he had all of one fucking tackle and got pistol-whipped all over the field all game in. He's gonna have some issues when he gets back.

On this point I think you have to consider the unique spot Ben has brought on himself with his teammates. I don't have the links right now but I'm positive this isn't the first Steeler to call him out publicly.

Now most of that was due to Bens being a fucking rapist and all and this one was purely about his play but as a Steeler fan I really don't think its as clear cut as it would normally be in calling a teammate out.

He's fucking CRAZY.

I seriously believe this is all schtick to set up a post-nfl rasslin' career. Has to be.

I'm not sure how much of it is made up to be honest.

I remember a conversation Barkley had one time basically calling out some current NBA players saying they weren't "go guys" meaning if it came down to an actual fight they really wouldn't go. They just act tough and talk a lot. To be honest I think most of us are, to varying degrees, more to that end of the spectrum than the other where only the true tough guys reside.

Harrison is not only a "go guy" he's that 1 in 10,000 kind of sick bastard that would actually enjoy going out to the alley behind the bar and just seeing who was the badder mother fucker. He'd hurt you, there would be no mercy. Normal people don't really like to fight, guys like Harrison do.

On top of that he's also apparently mastered the art of self deception to where he can instantly transform any action or comment into a perceived direct threat to his family. You look at him sideways and he literally feels you are taking food off his kids plate.

Think about what lengths you'd go to to stop someone from hurting your family if you thought it was a credible threat. This crazy bastard can work up that scenario in his mind almost at will.

That to go with his obviously freakish physical gifts makes for a man with whom I would not like to fuck with.

Nice work on trying to avoid ending the sentence with a preposition.

the third with looks like a preposition here, but it is not actually a preposition. instead, it is a particle, which is part of the verbal phrase; therefore, there is nothing wrong with its ending a sentence.

It's actually just a redundancy: "with whom I would not like to [censored] with". One or the other, but not both.
