Harrison on the money
Veteran safety Rodney Harrison [news] continues to rehab his broken forearm at his Atlanta home, where he recently celebrated the birth of his son, Christian. As is his custom, Harrison will not participate in the Pats' offseason program, which begins in two weeks. Instead, he will work out with his personal trainer in Atlanta. Harrison said he should be ready to participate in the mandatory minicamps this spring.
``I don't see why I wouldn't,'' he said. ``But the big thing is being ready for training camp (in July).''
Harrison is also aware of the contract issues involving Washington and Law.
``Some want to go play for the money and some want to try and get a championship,'' he said. ``I don't know what everyone's motivation is. I can only speak for myself, and for me (as a free agent last year) it was a combination of both. I wanted to be paid a fair price for what I bring to the table, but I didn't need to be the highest-paid or the highest-priced. I've made money in my career that 99 percent of the people in America could never dream of. I'm not motivated by earning more and more money. I'm motivated by the passion of football.''

My favorite Patriot is Tedy (as you know ;D), but I have to say that along with Bruschi, Rodney Harrison is a true New England Patriot. I have a lot of respect for this guy and what he helped our team do this year. 140 tackles last season is awesome and when I saw him go down in the SuperBowl, I was worried. To see him tear at the end of the game and hug his teammates made me clap and yell louder because they did it(for themselves, the fans and everybody else) they brought the trophy back home to New England! I may(since I have a #54 jersey already) go out a buy a Harrison jersey. I can't wait to see these guys back out on the field next season. GO PATRIOTS!!
