james harrison=pontential mental problems?

[scpanther22]

what is his thinking..well like the article said you can see how they locked him down longterm so cheap.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers visit the White House next week, they’ll do it without one of the men primarily responsible for their sixth Super Bowl title: Linebacker James Harrison.

“This is how I feel — if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don’t win the Super Bowl,” Harrison said. “As far as I’m concerned, [Obama] would’ve invited Arizona if they had won.”

Um.

Um.

Um.

James, are you OK? Have you suffered any recent blunt trauma to the brain box?

It’s a ritual in this country that the major-league teams winning championships are invited to the White House for a visit.

So, yeah, the invitation applies only to the Super Bowl champs. It’s one of the things that make the accomplishment special.

And, no, the President doesn’t have the time or the desire to invite the 31 teams that didn’t win the Super Bowl to conduct seven-on-sevens in the Rose Garden. (After all, that might cut into the time he has allotted to work on his NCAA brackets.)

But, hey, at least we now have a better understand of how the Steelers got Harrison to sign a long-term deal worth only $51 million.

james harrison is a punk

lol, what he said makes no sense at all.

What's the problem? He has somewhat of a point. Obama doesn't care about any of them, it's only about which team had more points at the end. It's not like meeting the president is some sort of award or something. Who wants to go meet some douchebag that isn't really interested in who you are?

Are you guys honestly mistaking excessive pride for "pontential" mental problems? You guys make it seem as if you've never seen a professional football player with a bloated sense of self-worth.

No it doesn't. He's gotta be off his rocker.

See kids why drugs are bad for you. It makes you think that the President of the most powerful country in the world should be humbled being in your presence rather than his.

lmfao.. for real man? The team won the Superbowl, so yeah, I guess you're right- they did "have more points in the end". Way to downplay what every team hopes in February. To have more points than the other team for every game, even that Superbowl thing. You're right though, it's not an award... It's not the trophy at the end of the game. But it is a tradition. Not a tough concept here.

So since it's tradition, Harrison coming out saying "Invite us when we don't win the Superbowl" is idiotic, so no, he doesn't have a point. He missed the point. The point is, and only is, every Superbowl team meets the president. Hence, why the Steelers are doing so.

If you don't want to meet the President, so be it. But to go on a rant about some douchebag who doesn't really want to meet you is a bit over the top. Err... Way over the top. This shouldn't be an issue at all. Go meet the President or don't.

Btw, Obama is a big sports fan so you're more wrong than right in saying "Who wants to go meet some douchebag that isn't really interested in who you are?"

And on your last statement, are you honestly making this an issue like it doesn't happen every year? If the guy, or you, doesn't want to meet the President, don't go. But to rant on this is crazy... About the title of this thread.... I'm sure the original poster was using a little exaggeration...
