Yes.

Pretty obvious flop? Yes.

“He isn’t much of a player anymore?”

Since returning from retirement in 2014 he has recorded at least 5 sacks in limited playing time each season. I wouldn’t write off James Harrison until he proves it on the field.

These teams play each other at least once per year. I don’t think he’s going to share info to either side that they don’t already know.

Listen. James Harrison may be a sanctimonious blowhard, but he also strikes me as the kind of dude you don’t want to give any extra motivation to fuck you up.

I always thought Joey Porter was an abject moron, but I stand corrected. At least he was smart enough not to wake Harrison up.

Entrapment!

Players witnessed Harrison sleeping in a recliner during position meetings and snoring loudly while outside linebackers coach Joey Porter tried to teach

If you’re right that he asked for this then you’re right; it’s about a person who thinks he can still contribute to the success of an organization but wasn’t being given a chance to do that with his current organization so asked to be allowed to go do that at another one. I can’t tell if you’re saying this as though…

My wife is a Steelers fan and is upset at the loss of Harrison (she was really upset at the team for even releasing him). She tried to blame him, but I reminded her that he is a 39 year old man who has bills to pay and cute kids to feed. Also, while his professional life is nearing its natural end, he has a (hopefully…

As someone else wrote when this signing was only predicted, not yet a done deal: let’s have many, many James Harrison sacks of Ben Rothlisberger, especially in the championship series. They both deserve it. (Mind you, I am not wishing even BR injuries, just frustration.) I wish James Harrison success, satisfaction,…

How dare he try to find employment elsewhere after his employment was terminated. Doesn’t he have any loyalty?

Wow just everything a deadspin joke should be.

No joke, and no point either, apparently.

As opposed to the rest of the scholars that get “accepted” to Michigan to play football?

And the ideal play would not have been a slant route

Yeah, I’m calling bullshit on that ‘I wasn’t really rooting from anyone.’ We can see your historic posts Lauren!

Let’s rate the top Tomlin excuses after this game:

Ben pulled that pass right out of Pete Carroll’s playbook.

From what I understand, the rule is that no matter where the receiver is on the field, he must maintain full possession all the way to the ground for the catch to count. So knee down there isn’t enough, by the rule. The ball moved when he hit the ground. I’m not shocked they reversed the catch.
