mike ditka named "joey who" (harrison) as his mid season defensive mvp.

he said he earned it monday night and his performance was "one for the ages".

thats quite some praise and respect. i have heard monday compared to lawrence taylor and the best individual game by a steelers defender going back to greg lloyd vs the browns, if not, going all the way back to man joe.

when you see steelers sports writers say this, you have to raise an eyebrow, and take notice.

i think us as a fanbase have been far too humble and non-homeristic over his accomplishment and dominance.

Ed.B. of the P-G said today that the Steelers knew when Porter left that Harrison probably would have beat Joey out

Porter's release really was a no-brainer. While he played well enough for a number of years to make the all-time Steelers team, and he helped drive them to Super Bowl XL, his play had diminished in 2006 as his knee surgeries increased.

Porter was due a $5 million salary and the coaching staff knew that had they kept him, Harrison probably would have beaten him out of his starting job.

(imagine Joey's attitude if he was still here not even starting in his FA year)

and seeing the article that dean pees coached harrison in college, theres no way we could afford too keep porter and later see harrison walk to new england (vrabel)
