Anyone catch this story?
Titled (on main page):
"Steelers Harrison says he's out to hurt people."
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5699976
Now, we know James Harrison has had an eventful weekend. He had two HUGE hits (helmet-to-helmet) in the game vs. the Browns yesterday. In the article posted, there is NO quote from Harrison. In reading it, I was kinda puzzled. I went through some of the user comments, and I guess there is another article in the Pittsburgh Gazette that explains Harrison's POV. I just don't understand why ESPN would have this article on the main page without having Harrison's actual quote...

"I don't want to see anyone injured," Harrison said, "but I'm not opposed to hurting anyone."
Say what?
"There's a difference," Harrison said. "When you're injured, you can't play. But when you're hurt, you can shake it off and come back. I try to hurt people."

Terrible journalism by ESPN, and they did a good job in taking the actual quote out of context.....
*Title changed"Steelers Harrison OK with dishing pain"
