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...

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
