It's time for Easterbrook's annual All-Unwanted All-Pros list, which is generally an interesting read, but this year his criteria for inclusion are head-scratchingly inconsistent. Namely, this is the first season that James Harrison has been disqualified from the list. Says Easterbrook:
"In past seasons the undrafted James Harrison has made the All-Unwanted All-Pros. This season Harrison seems so determined to convince people that he is not much of a human being that he has been disqualified from consideration."Presumably, he's talking about how Harrison insulted Roger Goodell and his own teammates in Men's Journal this past summer. Yeah, that's bad. But who does makes the list but LeGarrette Blount, who got kicked off his college team for punching an opponent, then signed with the Titans and punched his own teammate, then signed with the Bucs and punched an opponent again. Now, I don't think either player's conduct is that egregious, but it's inconsistent, at best, to disqualify one and not the other. I mean, it's not like either of them beat up his wife/girlfriend. Not this year anyway.
That's right, remember when James Harrison was arrested for domestic violence in 2008? That didn't disqualify him from Easterbrook's 2008 All-Unwanted All-Pros list.
