James Harrison Says Obama Only Wants Him For His Ring

Thats insane. I didnt start watching the Skins til 96. I knew we drafted Wycheck before I started watching them in 93 and a couple seasons later he was released. I loved watching him as a Oiler and a Titan. I never knew he was suspended while a Redskin for steroid use. I guess you learn something new everyday.

The President doesn't want Harrison, its a White House tradition to invite the Super Bowl Champions to the White House. This is a invite to the Pittsburg Steelers football team. If he had any class and he did not want to attend than he should keep his mouth shut. I'm sure the Steelers organization would not want to the negative attention. I'm sure the Steelers could have come up with a excuse for him to miss the invite. I guess meeting the President to him does mean anything. The lights on but nobodys home.

Harrison is a dope. Way to make something all about yourself dude.

I officially hate this guy...he shouldn't of been able to return that int for a TD in the super bowl, he's a big asshole beating up that guy in the SB while the guy was defensless on the ground, and he's only good, because he plays in that system where his job is to go after the QB, and yes Ware is better than this nut job...
Question James, when is a good time for you to go to the white house, have you been going all the years the steelers haven't gone to a super bowl?

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

[firstdown]

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

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.

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.

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.
