What better way can you invite criticism than to not only fail on your part in reaching your own goals, but to have that which you cast aside aid in achieving the goals of another group against which you compete? I struggle to think of a more profound scenario to bring down righteous indignation.
Unfortunately, that is where the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves, though it would be a much different story had that not failed on their own. In a season filled with so much drama, one storyline in particular has attracted a certain segment, that being the saga of James Harrison and how it came to be that he was chasing down Blake Bortles not for Pittsburgh, but for the New England Patriots.
