Vaughn McClure of the CHICAGO TRIBUNE has Tommie Harris’ inevitable shaming in the aftermath of his decision to punch Cardinals guard Deuce Lutui helmet head yesterday.

Good morning everyone. Yesterday was quite a day. It was such a day that I’m just now starting today. Please keep it down. Absolutely no yelling will be tolerated. Did I just use that picture of Bar Refaeli the other day? Yes, yes I did. I fail to see a problem.
