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...

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
