PITTSBURGH -- 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.

How anyone can put their child in harms way having apparently a pit bull in the house is effing stupidity. Let's hope the child will be OK.

I have completely mixed feelings on the subject. I always felt that pit bulls were fine, like most of you are saying, as long as they are raised right and not trained to fight. One of my best friends had the sweetest pit bull, very smart, and was never aggressive towards humans or other animals. Then my friend had a son. Her dog loved playing with Connor, her son, and was always fine. Then one day, my friend gets up to get a glass of water when Connor was 8 months. She comes back in the room and her pit had Connor's head and face in it's mouth. Granted, it's easy to say that she shouldn't have left the two alone, and that's probably right. But I have my doubts that any of her other dogs (non-pit) would have done the same thing. Maybe the pit was just playing and didn't intend to harm, but it did (stitches on Connor's head and cheek). I guess my conclusion is, pits are fine, you just need to take a little extra care and supervision with them when around children.

Pit Bulls get a bad rap because of stuff like this. If not raised right they do sh*t like this, it's more the owner's fault than the dog's.

Regardless of how my wiener dog is raised she isn't going to be capable of ripping my daughters throat out.

If this proves to be his dog then he should have to answer to putting his child in that situation.

I've had little dogs bite the crap out of me but never had a big dog do it. With that given IMO the breed dose matter. Pits are fine as a pet but they also are very strong dogs and dont understand there own power.

      Panthers Vs Bucs OFFICIAL THREAD

      By Achilles · Posted

      Seems to me that the Bucs have less fight in them now than they had in week 16. The real test is going to be if the Panthers can sustain focus and discipline throughout. With the Bucs being at home, maybe that gives them a little boost of confidence and energy.  Wouldn’t it be something if for ONCE the Panthers came out and dominated from the opening snap and just took this shook Bucs team to task?  If the Panthers see-saw form follows, we are in line for the W. Hard to say we have momentum but we do have a pretty clear pattern of following a loss with a win.  I’m going to say 24-16 Panthers!!

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant
