Steelers linebacker James Harrison may be in hot water with the NFL again, this time for using strong-arm tactics in a place the league has deemed off limits for its players but not itself – Las Vegas.
Harrison, who turns 39 next month, competed in the Pro Football Arm Wrestling Championship over the weekend along with other players at the MGM Grand casino. The league, which prohibits players from appearing for such promotions at casinos, is not happy about it.
“Had we been asked in advance if this was acceptable, we would have indicated that it was in direct violation of the gambling policy,’’ NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart told USA Today.
