FINALLY, SOMEONE TO TAKE THE PK BOUNTY. We mentioned earlier that Rodney Harrison will be taking over for The Bus on NBC’s Footbaw Night in Amurrica. However, it seems the erstwhile Pats safety is using the occasion to make waves, telling Dan Patrick in an interview that he has no regrets from his playing days, even the helmet-to-helmet hit on Jerry Rice that resulted in a $111,000 fine. Quoth Harrison: “That was worth it. I mean I love Jerry, but to be able to knock his head off and to be able to make him pay. I’d spend a hundred grand on that any day.” Man, I suddenly love the idea that he’s sharing a set with Keith Olbermann, Peter King and Bob Costas. [PFT]

FNIA just got more preachy. NBC is reportedly set to replace Cris Collinsworth’s smarminess with Tony Dungy’s bland piety on the set of Football Night In America. It’s also being speculated that the studio will get shot of pure adrenaline to the scrotum in the form of recently retired safety Rodney Harrison. The former Patriot will take Jerome Bettis’ reinforced seat. [NYDN via PFT]
