With the release of Sweed, he can now be considered the biggest draft flop in recent memory.  In fact, Sweed may be considered the 2nd biggest WR draft flop in Steelers history behind 1st round pick Troy Edwards during the Bill Cowher era.

The Steelers decided to release Sweed instead of placing rookie running back Baron Batch on injured reserve. Batch underwent surgery yesterday to repair a torn ACL he suffered last week.

The Steelers must pay the final year of Sweed's 4-year, $3.3 million rookie contract until his shoulder injury is healed. The Steelers also can retain Sweed and place him on injured reserve if no other team claims him.

Today, Sweed finished his Steelers career with only 7 catches.  Over the past three years, Sweed has been plagued with personal issues especially lack of confidence as well as being injury prone.  This training camp was critical for Sweed to prove his worth especially given his history and recovering from his 2010 season-ending achilles injury.

Apparently, Sweed didn't convince the Steelers coaching staff of his worth.  It's not over for Sweed though.  Another team can still claim Sweed or the Steelers would re-sign him.

Let's not forget that pro bowler James Harrison was once cut by the Steelers.

Calling Roger Goodell the devil... check

Calling out teammates... check

Calling out the New England Cheatriots... check

Calling out Brian Cushing... check

Calling out league policy... check

Harrison should have a "shut up" clause in his contract for real.  The guy is a great player and he's even better at channeling his anger to the playing field.  But come on now Harrison, just stay away from the microphone.  Your not a good talker and you can easily be taken out of context.  The result of this is now the Pittsburgh Steelers will have a greater target on their back this year.

To the media and to opposing teams, Harrison seems to be the center of attention.

The NFL appears to be singling Harrison out with the fines and penalties.

But Harrison believes opposing teams are attacking him. Specifically the Ravens were diving at Harrison's kness with the intent of injuring him.

Do you think opposing teams and the NFL are singling Harrison out?

If I recall correctly the technique is to drive your face mask through the players chest with your arms wrapped.  The hit below looks like picture perfect form to me.  If you can't hit the player in the head and you can't hit the player around the knees, and now you can't hit the player in the midsection then how are you supposed to tackle?

James Harrison Hits Ryan Fitzpatrick

The hit wasn't illegal, it was a clean it.  What is most frustrating is that Andre Johnson and Cortland Finnegan got into a fist fight during the game and ejected but they were only fined 25k. A week ago, Oakland Raider defensive end punched Ben Roethlisberger in the face and was ejected but he was only fined 20k.

James Harrison legally hits Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and he is fined 25k for the hit.

Huh!?!  How do you explain that Rodger Goodell?
