Why James Harrison Deserves Suspension for Vicious Hit on Colt McCoy

Pittsburgh Steelers' outside linebacker James Harrison was at it again last night against the Cleveland Browns. 

In the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh's 14-3 win, Harrison delivered a vicious, helmet-to-helmet hit on Colt McCoy that came after the Browns' quarterback released the football.

An unnecessary roughness penalty was called.  

Anyone else think Harrison deserves a suspension? 

I do. 

He was fined a total of $125,000 for illegal hits last season, but obviously the hits to his bank account haven't taught Harrison anything.

Harrison is following suit with the most immature and coach-maddening trend in the NFL—getting on SportsCenter with a major hit—instead of simply wrapping up. 

Over the last few years, substantial informational strides have been made that have shown the negative long-term effect of head-injuries and repeated helmet trauma.

Don't think it's that serious?

According to the Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot, Colt McCoy told his father this morning that he doesn't remember anything after the hit. Here's what Brad McCoy had to say about the hit:

"

He never should've gone back in the game,'' said Brad. "He was basically out (cold) after the hit. You could tell by the ridigity of his body as he laying there. There were a lot of easy symptoms that should've told them he had a concussion. He was nauseated and he didn't know who he was. From what I could see, they didn't test him for a concussion on the sidelines. They looked at his (left) hand.  

"

Because of that, the NFL has attempted to come down on players who make these highly dangerous pops on defenseless players, especially quarterbacks. 

Harrison still believes he didn't do anything wrong last night, but just about everyone would agree he most certainly did. 

Fines clearly don't work with this guy. 

Missing time will.
