No, but for real.
LMAO I've been waiting so long for James Harrison to take another shot at Goodell !!

The wait wasn’t too long; Take a gander at this tweet to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, under fire for the Ray Rice scandal, from former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison:
@nflcommish ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun huh?
— James Harrison (@jharrison9292) September 10, 2014
Dude. That tweet has been retweeted over 16,000 times at the time of this writing. And he wasn’t done:
This is just one more example of why the Steelers didn't vote to approve the CBA!!!
— James Harrison (@jharrison9292) September 10, 2014
@nflcommish remains adamant he won't resign, source says:"Never." Yea that's what Nixon but then again the CBA gave you more power than him!
— James Harrison (@jharrison9292) September 10, 2014
Epic trolling.

Why was it so epic? Well, Harrison was heavily fined by Goodell before retiring in 2014.
@jboboruzian @DMcaloonjr James Harrison's been fined a lot by Goodell–he's just getting in some kicks while the commish is down haha!

Harrison had blasted Goodell in 2011.
“If that man was on fire and I had to piss to put him out, I wouldn’t do it,” Harrison told the magazine. “I hate him and will never respect him.”
So yeah.
Twitter users couldn’t get enough of the taunting tweet.
