        <body>The OJ case. The legal system worked EXACTLY as it is supposed to. Just because the verdict wasn't &amp;quot;popular&amp;quot; does not mean it was wrong.</body>

        <body>In my opinion, that couldn't be farther from the truth. With one, you have a credible X's and O's guy that breaks down a play better than anyone in any other pregame show, plus he gives you a coach's viewpoint. And in the other, you have a no-B.S. former player (All Pro, champion) who gives you a player's insight. Weakest part of the show, really? I love Dan and Keith immensely, but catch-phrases and calling highlights will only get you so far. Dungy and Harrison give you profound substance. I don't want some crusty old coach or some dusty former player talking to me about &amp;quot;how the game used to be.&amp;quot; I'd rather have two recent personalities who know the game as it is played now. I'd rather have these two.</body>

        <body>I hate when Rodney is on.  He's a moron.  And definitely the cheapest player I've ever seen!  The only thing he ever did was hit players when they weren't looking and were defenseless.  Ooohhhh - what a tough guy!!

And of course he's defending Hines because they're one in the same.  If 11% of NFL players think Hines is dirty, then it's obviously true!!</body>

        <body>Trent: the facts are all out there, you must be refering to the tampered eveidence, or the falsified witness statemens by law enforcement officials who thought the prosecution didn't have a strong enough case. You mention reading and researching the information, well it find it very interesting. I agree that one should read and research but they should read and research everything and not only what justifies thier veiwpoint. Just because he and Nicole (God bless her soul) have had previous domestic altercations doesn't make him a killer. It's an unfounded assumption. Just like alot of people's views on the case. It's tragic that two people were murdered. Yet to say OJ did it is an assumption. Hey may have been found guilty at the civil trial but everyone knows its much easier to get convictions at civil trials because the burden of proof is so high.</body>

        <body>Trentwolf: I guess the fact that he was found not guilty by a jury of his peers means nothing. The only people who truly know the truth are the victims, oj himself and God. Let it go already.</body>

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:CNN_DPAudio('http://ht.cdn.turner.com/si/danpatrick/audio/2009/11/05/DP-Rodney_Harrison-11-05-09_Interview.mp3')&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.element/img/4.0/sect/danpatrick/listen_segment_148x16.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; /&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NBC's &lt;strong&gt;Rodney Harrison&lt;/strong&gt; joined the show to talk about big topics in the NFL. Dan talked to Harrison about SI's players &lt;a href=&quot;http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/11/04/dirty/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;poll of the dirtiest players&lt;/a&gt; in the NFL. Rodney wasn't on it this year, but only because he's out of the league.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Harrison disagreed with the poll's dirtiest player -- Hines Ward. &quot;Hines Ward, he's an offensive Rodney Harrison,&quot; Rodney said. &quot;Hines Ward is a guy who plays the game truly the way it's supposed to be played.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Harrison does think Kevin Mawae deserves the title. &quot;Kevin Mawae is dirty. He's a dirty dude,&quot; Harrison said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rodney Harrison said that he doesn't like the Titans, because Tennessee's Bobby Wade cut-block him and blew out his knee. Then Rodney looked over at the Titans sideline and they were laughing. Even coach Jeff Fisher had a smile.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Harrison said he really didn't belong on the &quot;dirty&quot; list. &quot;I felt like I was a guy who played hard,&quot; Harrison said. &quot;I never intended to hurt anyone.&quot; Harrison did say he didn't mind going after a player above the shoulders. He told the story of knocking out Jerry Rice on a slant route after Rice burned him for a touchdown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Harrison also had strong comments on Roy Williams calling out Tony Romo. Harrison said that Williams needs to be a team-first player. Harrison said that Williams is focused on his numbers and needs to stop complaining to the media and being a distraction.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
