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.

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.

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...

      Not sure I completely agree but it's a pretty accurate list

      If Reich or Fitterer were still around I think the need to extend Young because of what he cost would be stronger.  And yeah Morgan was Fit's right hand when the call was made but there an equal chance that Dan will see it as a chance to move on from Fit and shake off that stink. Holding out some hope that 3 years and clear eyes will allow for an honest appraisal that Young just aint the guy

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
