GOP Bill Would Strip Workers Of Overtime, Minimum Wage Protections
Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris was furious last week when Raiders guard Robert Gallery held him up while running back Rock Cartwright hit him in the knee with an illegal chop block.
But Harris says he's used to it by now.
"That's how it has been throughout my career,'' Harris told the Chicago Tribune. "They always come after me."
Harris says he thinks opposing players intentionally go after his knees because he's been injured before, and that infuriates him. And he's certainly correct that Cartwright and Gallery combined to take a cheap shot at him, and should be fined by the NFL. (They were called for a personal foul, but the Bears declined the penalty because Julius Peppers sacked Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell on the play.)
Harris, however, said he has learned his lesson about getting revenge. Last season Harris was ejected from a game for punching Cardinals guard Deuce Lutui, and he says he knows he needs to mind his manners on the field.
"Yes, that was the biggest mistake of my career,'' Harris said. "You make mistakes. You learn from them. But that punch was about more than what he did. It was just frustration with being injured, with playing through all these different things I dealt with.''
Dealing with a cheap shot without getting himself kicked out of a game shows that Harris has matured over the last year.
