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.

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
