James Harrison Says Obama Only Wants Him For His Ring

Another example of sometimes it's better to just keep your mouth shut. Of course they were only invited because they won. Duh.

Its his choice to go or not to go but his reason for not going is what makes him sound so dumb.

it's hilarious the way they put it on profootballtalk.What a f ing idiot. :smashfrea

Is anyone here truly surprised that James Harrison - - and the vast majority of NFL players - - are not candidates for the MENSA Society?

Statistically speaking, if you drew a name from a hat that contained the names of everyone on an NFL roster, the chances of picking out the name of someone who is "less than fully sophisticated" are pretty damned good.

It is Harrison's choice whether or not to attend the WH ceremony. It is Harrison's choice to speak out on this matter.

It is NOT Harrison's choice as to how people will take his remarks and draw their own conclusions about him based on those remarks.

My conclusion: MEATHEAD !!

I worked at the White House from 1996-1998, when the sports teams visit, generally only about 1/2 of the pro rosters show, most all of the college guys come. When Dallas visited, Emmett came but no Irvin or Aikmen, then again it was the third time in the 90s they were there.

Like others said that is fine. Personally I think you have to be retarded to miss an opportunity like that but Harrison's reasoning makes him sound really really stupid.

That's quite simply the dumbest thing I have heard all week.

I'm going to raise you here and say that that's my current front-runner for the 2009 dumbest-thing-I-have-heard.

Cool story.

...BTW, I'm sensing a sarcastic tone to your name, "Boston Brave" and I'm personally offended by it. Let me impose my will on this board and request that Matty2K change it to something less Native Americany.

Seriously? No, you must be kidding...right?

Yeah...I was trying to tie in with the Redskins Name Change thread.

I'm just going to be offended at any and every NA reference until people see how obnoxious the thought is and drop it completely.
