Congrats to Harrison, but I thought Ed Reed should've won the award. That guy is crazy good.
He's crazy good at playing centerfield for wounded ducks, but Harrison is by far a more complete player.

I have to admit I didn't see the Steelers play except maybe one game this year, so I'm definitely not an authority. But the 3 games or so I saw Ed Reed play, he's a pretty complete player, with unreal instincts when it comes to the ball.
Looking at the stats, Harrison had a killer year. I hadn't heard much about him until now. Sounds like he deserved it.

Chargers' Vincent Jackson arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence
SAN DIEGO — Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Tuesday morning in Clairemont, authorities said.
Jackson, 25, was driving east on state Route 52 near Interstate 805 just after 2:30 a.m. when he was pulled over for an observed traffic violation, California Highway Patrol Officer Brad Baehr said.
Jackson, a 6-foot-5, 230-pound player who has been with the team since 2005, was driving a 2008 GMC Sierra registered to him, Baehr said.
He was booked into county jail and was released by 6 a.m., Baehr said.
Jackson faces the misdemeanor DUI allegation as well as charges that he was driving on probation for a prior DUI, Baehr said. The results of a blood test are pending.
Jackson was at his career best in the 2008 season as the Chargers'second-leading receiver with 59 catches and 1,098 yards. He also scored 7 touchdowns.
Chargers General Manager A.J. Smith issued the following statement on Jackson's arrest:
"We're aware of the off-the-field issue involving Vincent. Obviously we're disappointed. We take these issues very seriously. Moving forward, we will monitor the situation and have no further comment."
After Saturday night's duel against the Indianapolis Colts, Chargers General Manger A.J. Smith called Jackson a true professional and ultimate team player.
“You win championships with players like Vincent Jackson,” Smith said.
The Chargers face the Pittsburgh Steelers in a highly anticipated divisional playoff game at 1:45 p.m. Sunday at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.
The team has not commented on the arrest.

nah....one DUI isn't enough of a rap sheet to make the Dallas practice squad....he'll have to go on a real bender, with at least a sexual assault or a DUI with vehicular manslaughter in order to get Jerry Jones attention

I think it's his second, which is a big deal in California.

Yeah. "Keep" being the word in that sentence. You sign them all and then weed them out.
