I was totally ready to bag all the comparisons of topical sports people and everyday household objects to Michael Vick, but that was all before James Harrison’s pit bull took a bite out of the Pittsburgh Steeler’s kid. At least Vick had the decency to fight dogs against other dogs and not his own children. Which begs the question: would such a dog vs. child bout be refereed by a dog? Or by a human? One couldn’t give any indication of bias; that’s bad for business. The only fair way to answer would be “robot” or “chimp.” But I digress:
Steelers linebacker James Harrison’s young son is being treated at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh after being bitten by an animal — apparently Harrison’s pet dog, WTAE Channel 4 Action News has learned.A source told reporter Ari Hait that the injuries to James Harrison III are severe, but not life-threatening.
Neither the Steelers nor the hospital commented on the hospitalization, and nobody’s 100 percent sure that it was actually Harrison’s dog. And Harrison almost certainly isn’t operating nor a dogfighting ring as I jokingly suggested. That said…pit bulls are a scary breed of dogs, and I don’t know why you’d own one unless you wanted it to fight another pit bull or eat your two-year-old child. I don’t really have a funny way to end this, so after the jump is a link of this guy that went to anti-terrorism school. And we were doing so well today…

Another reason to own a pitbull is for them to attack cops when they come to arrest you for selling crack.
Also all those guns gave me a hard on.
Now we know the real reason Harrison wasn’t going to the White House; ever since Cheney left vicious pit bulls are canine non grata.
Harrison III I bet they call him something cool like “Trey”.
Kid had it comin…
I’m really curious as to what’ll happen with the dog. I guess it depends on whether little Trey wants a rematch…
@Punte, I’m sure Michael Vick will be willing to adopt it. The dog, not the kid.
You can take the NFL player out of the ghetto, but you just can’t take the ghetto out of the NFL player.
@ Ready – if you could, the NFL wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining.
@ Mrs. – Naw, I bet they call him JaTrey, or something like that.
Harrison had a statement about the incident:
“James Harrison is ok with this. The dog would have bit anyone had they come up on his shit. If the Arizona Cardinals had come up, the dog would have bit. I respect that.”
After watching that video with the anti-terrorists training with guns, I just had a thought about solving the Guantanamo prisoner problem.
I am a pit bull lover and I can say that they are really just big babies. Babies with ferocious killing power, but babies nonetheless.
I’d rather have seen Larry Foote get bit on the ass, oh wait…the door already hit him there.
James Harrison III will never again question that dog’s loyalty to James Harrison.
One good reason to own pit bulls is that they’re great dogs. Like any breed they can be taught to be attack dogs, but that says something about the owner not the breed.
Own a Pit Bull this happens, never hear of a killer collie or a shitzu that went nuts and tore off someones face. anyway the agent for this guy is the best….There’s no reason to believe that this is anything other than something that sometimes happens to children,” Parise said. “The child should be fine.”
pit bulls have animal instincts which is why they are only good for guard dogs…thats it.
