I love Silverback Harrison......Ole Number 92 plays like a FUCKING WRECKING MACHINE.......he brings back smash-mouth Steelers football.......but he is PLAIN FUCKING STUPID for not going to the White House to meet Obama.......when the President invites you to congratulate you on a Super Bowl win --- YOU FUCKING GO AND SAY THANK YOU, SIR........Harrison is a dumb Negro!
he didn't go when they won the 4th ring nothing was said now that he made a name for him self now it's a big deal you should check your facts before you open your mouth
I agree with Harrison...it's no big fucking deal to go to the White House - and you even make the point on how the president makes a couple of jokes "he he he" and it's no big deal. So if it is not a big deal then why bother going? It's not for the players but just a photo op for the politicians. I think black people are upset about Harrison skipping the trip because we have a black president - but everyone forgets Harrison didn't go with Bush was there. Way to go Big Man!
Like the broadcast man keep it up. I'm not an Obama fan AT ALL... in fact he's doing to this country EXACTLY what we thought he'd do.... Smooth talk... Promise change... Then create BIG govt...yadayadayada... But... He IS the President and I'd visit him if given the opportunity... Harrison makes no sense and blew a lifetime opportunity.
Harrison could have been more diplomatic in his explanation. But some people refuse to acknowledge that he has a right to stay home. He may not be the brightest guy, but I don't think he should have been FORCED to attend.
being a steelers fan..you should james is peaking at 6ft and listed around 242..hes probably a 260 tops..def like 280 and 290..hes not the size of brett kiesel or aaron smith..shows how much you know
I'll tell you what I think about James Harrison... he's a moron! What he said is basically like saying "As far as I'm concerned, if the Cardinals had won the Super Bowl, then Roger Goodell woulda presented the Lombardi Trophy to them!" Well of COURSE, James! That's the way things work; the President is never just going to randomly invite a sports team over to visit the White House that didn't win a championship in their respective sport. What an idiot. And enjoy your 18 more rings...
True, he doesn't like to fly. And Pittsburgh as well as his crib near pittsburgh isn't that far from his hometown in Ohio. He can drive there in like 45 minutes, and this is one of the reasons why I think he like playing for the steelers.....because it was close to home, and he didn't have to fly all the time.
I'm from Pittsburgh and a huge Steeler fan. Thats complete bullshit and I agree with what was said in the video if you don't want to go don't go. Why would anyone see losers go to the White House?
HE'S THE PRESIDENT!!!! YOU'RE A MUTHAFUCKIN' FOOTBALL PLAYER!!!
why the fuck should he kiss your ass? i mean, i can understand being a black man with pride, but that shit was just stupid. obama's too busy growing gray hairs trying to get the country back together, and you're whinin' about him not inviting you to the white house if you don't win the superbowl.
that's some hater shit right there. and i'm willing to bet harrison's one of those brothas claiming everyone's hating on him.
Just wanted to say that james harrison didnt' go the white house when the steelers won the superbowl 3 years ago. Nobody knew him then and it was cool nobody cared that he wanted to skip the white house. but now that he is the best defender in the league everyone is given him shit. like everyone says who cares whether or not he is attended we will be back next year and he can possible resurrect his decision then.
well first of all who cares about the west. next I thought you knew something about basketball, i'm sure you do but its kind of sad when one player scores half the points on your team and is the only weapon. so what happens when your ace is solved you fold like the last mvp last year. cavs are good but like waron sapp said,"you can't come to florida with one weapon and talkin about beating us I don't care how many bullets you load em up with"...
"he's just a big black guy out there hittin quarterback" lmfaooo... that was an asinine comment by james harrison... he tried to make a statement about not going and :FAILED: for 1: as big as he is and as mean as he looks, his voice doesn't even match.. 2 his statement was ignorant and cocky... doesn't sound like a team player to me and makes me hate the Steelers more than i already do...lol... but this dude is a tru character and sounded like an idiot.. (my opinion)
anndddd.... the lakers seems like they have another tough series on their hands i can say they took denver for granted, i mean come on... at home.. did u see what the score was n the first few mins of the game and how they had to STAMPEDE to come back... contested shot for contested shot.. this will b a good series but i'm pulling for the lakers.. i'm looking forward to seeing Lakers vs Cavs for the championship game...
i guess harrison was to dumb to know that obama was pulling for pittsburgh to win the superbowl...and to think that dick head was basically looking for a roster spot a year ago..
Is this Harrison guy a retard or something? I know he's a football player, so that makes him suspect enough in all mental agility departments, but unless he is joking, he should be the mascot for the Special Olympics for the Voluntarily Brain Damaged.
I was so with the theme of the video until u put my falcons on blast ......but i think that was an extremely stupid comment he made..... If he didnt wanna meet the pres for political reasons then fine.... but his reason was " not intellectual"
"4-5 yrs. & 10-11 rings"?? Gosh! I didn't know his concussions were that bad. Couldn't he at least make the math right. I hope he keeps working out, b/c his basic arithmetic doesn't work out.
He has a choice, however, his reasoning behind it is laughable and doesn't do much to make him look intelligent or anything worth while. In sports when you win you get money, fame, and attn - if you win big enough you go to the whitehouse. That's how it works, do it and have a story to tell - you're not important enough to go otherwise. As if it weren't obvious already, the ring goes to the winners not the losers - but he's pretty happy about obtaining those! Idiot.
its about sincerety, not about how much he likes the president or about "who wants to see the losers". its all formal, empty stuff, so why would he participate? for the media attention? i actually respect him for his reasoning, while i think that inviting the winners is pointless and a waste of time.
if that's the case, then he should have given his SUPERBOWL RINGS BACK, THE HAT, AND THE BEST DEFENSE PLAYER AWARD BACK TO THE FOLKS WHO HAVE GIVEN IT TO HIM...
It's not about Obama or him not going...it's just that his reasoning makes him look like a fucking moron and a HYPOCRITE
the opposite is the case. obama would be a hypocrity for inviting him just for the pr, instead of givim him a sincere and honest invitation. and thats exactly what he pointed out as his reason for not going to visit the president.
the ring, title and tophy are directly conncected to the league and is something that you play and work hard for to achieve. a purely formal meeting with the president is not.
James has better things to do on Thursday like work out, go fishing, and BBQ with Chuck Norris, JC Watts, Creflo Dollar, Pat Buchanan, Jesse Ventura and Ron Paul. {hint hint}
It isn't his ego. All hes saying is everyone is "Worthy" to go to the WH not just champions and he feels that his credentials are best left on the field and in Pittsburgh trophy room.
I think James Harrison has a right to choose. I would never be one to judge Mr Harrison. When your a Super Bowl Champion you earn the right to do whatever you feel like doing. He is turning down the request to meet the president, because he can. In his mind he is too important to waste time schmoozing with the President Obama. He is also probably tired of President Obama's basketball love affair. Basketball players are wimps compared to football players. Good for James.
No one is disputing his right to choose. We think he is an idiot for his reason behind it. It was obviously not a well thought out explanation as to why he doesn't want to go. His reason was pretty damn stupid. Btw, I enjoy basketball far more than football, but they are my top two sports.
Wtf, how can a professional sports player be more important then the President? His mind must be warped and someone needs to burst his bubble. A Footballer wasting HIS time on the President?! Doesn't that go the other way around? I guess riding around in fancy cars and schmoozing with easy women is more entertaining than meeting A PRESIDENT, that's something to tell your grandkids & parents about.
I say that Cleveland blows out Orlando. The Magic will be lucky to get a win and I think Denver is going to beat LA because the recent series they were in. My overall pick is the Cavs because they still haven't lost a game in the play-offs.
The James Harrison statement is retarded due to the history. I guess he hasn't been paying much attention to the recent years. I think all the previous players of all sports appreciated the visit even when Bush was the President!
Give me a Break James Harrison. If it wasn't the Team the Won the Super Bowl than he would Invite his Team the Bears. He doesn't want 2 see the Pittsberugh Steelers he wants 2 see the Super Bowl Champs.
I'm a lifelong Steeler fan, actually James Harrison is my favorite player the team. But his explanation for why he won't go to see President Obama, is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. Could you imagine if the President would see every team regardless of who won the championships. Just seeing the professional teams in the four major sports would take 4 months, that's not counting college teams, Nascar drivers, extreme sports and cyber athletes. The man has a job. Get a grip James.
Why is showing up for a photo opportunity for a politician in anyway meaningful or important? This is just some publicity thing politicians use to appear to be like their constituents, they've been doing it for decades.
Just because he doesn't want to kiss a politician's ring doesn't make him bad or wrong. Just individual making a choice
I don't understand why people are bothered. So he doesn't want to go. He didn't want to go for Bush, why are so many people offended he treats Obama the same?
Lol, I am not bothered that he doesn't want to go, but his reason was just about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. He should've just said "I don't want to go". Instead he made himself look like a dumbass.
He seems smarter to me than most people. His explanation was rational. He attaches no importance to the event and the President doesn't care if he goes because he only invited Harrison because he won. He isn't going to conform to social norms he doesn't believe are important just because they are social norms. Read between the lines (or in this case listen between the spoken words) people.
You're just as retarded as he is. He basically said that the only reason he isn't going is because they SB winners and that he would've came if he had lost. "If you want to see the Steelers then invite us when we lose (or don't win a SB...which would be the same as losing). That is fucking retarded.
You are completely missing his point. Key word in the sentence is "IF." He knows the president doesn't really want to see the Steelers. It's just something the President does when a football team wins the Super Bowl. Harrison is being facetious. Of course the president isn't going to invite the Steelers when they lose. He knows that. Even in the short clip of the interview you can tell that.
There is no hidden message. I haven't heard the guy speak before this clip, but (notice the smiling and laughing) he seems like he is joking and being facetious when he says the President should invite The Steelers when they lose. No need to get aggressive.
james harrison just more attention since everybody called him the hero of the Superbowl. He should go to the whitehouse, he might not get another chance to go
I Definetely respect your opinion but i see no way the Cavaliers are gonna thrash the Magic as a matter of fact i beleive the Magic will take the Cavs in 6 the Magic have the best bench and overall they are probably the best team in the Playoffs right now...i mean cmon dude Delonte West on Rashard Lewis or Hedo Turkoglu?...LOL the cavs froncourt 3 will prove to be to small for the Magic watch and see.
I agree...is he giving back his ring? Because the losers did not get a super bowl ring! Maybe hitting all those QBs has knocked his head loose!!! Did he go to the Parade?!?! I bet Pittsburg does not throw them a parade when they lose?!?!
Hey I love defense. And I like James Harrison. But he's wrong on this issue. The team that wins the Super bowl gets to go to the White House & that's an HONOR! I think he should go and take the glory of the invitation. They earned it!!
Maybe Harrison didnt vote for Obama. Remember, there ARE people who dont like Obama. Personally Im not sure if I like him or not yet. But if Harrison wants to blow it off...thats his buisness. I bet Harrison probably had prior engagements to be somewhere being a badass.
agree 100% on the james harrison thing... dude is one of those football players whose success went to his head... thinks he's on Obama's level n shit... dude's reasons/logic was completely stupid
James Harrison was being sarcastic in the beginning. His true reason of not going is, "But, really, I don't feel the need to actually go. I don't feel like it's that big of a deal to me."
we have seen it this year and last. the only teams that have a legit chance of beating the lakers is a team that slows the pace, slows posessions, plays great defense/has great defensive strategy and has a great supporting cast. the nuggets are not an elite defensive team and they play the pace the lakers love lol. nuggets defense is not up there with cleveland/houston. i don't know if the nugz can score more points than the best offensive team in the league to be honest. w/e i may be wrong.
niuggets vs lakers is gonna be real interesting. if the lakers don't come out and play, they will have a lesser chance of winning. but we should not be fooled here. houston gave the lakers so much problems because they not only had 1 great defender but 2 nba all 2nd or 3rd team defenders. no other team has that. no one on that nuggets team (and dont even say dahntay jones) can guard kobe. on another front the houston D is head over heels better than the nuggets D
sorry JR but this is the one video I don't agree with. I think James Harrison is right. Obama should invite them just because they're the Steelers not because they're champions. Harrison isn't saying to invite them when they lose he's just saying don't just invite us because we won.Also like you said, all they do is get acknowledged take a picture and leave. And i'm sure James Harrison the Defensive Player of the Year and the Steelers will be able to take many more visits to the White House.
I'm looking forward to the east and western conference finals. I think that its going to be LA in 6 and Cleveland in 6. LA and Cleveland will be playing each other.
I think the nuggets are gonna win but the series is going to 7 and its going to be really exciting. And James Harrison should go, i mean does he really have that much to do in his life that he can't go meet the president?!?!?! How many guys get to say that they won a superbowl, went to the whitehouse, and met a history making president, regardless of how you got there or if you like Obama.
C'mon man...Orlando getting thrashed??? Has everyone forgotten that Orlando beat down the Cavs by 30 last time they played? It was only about a month ago.
lebron james>orlando magic... lol sorry but all of that inconsistency they played with vs boston will not stand vs the cavs. cavs=better defense, better players, mvp=finals. ben wallace, varejao are better defenders than any defender the celts had playing (kg is obv better) and the cavs have one of the best opposing fg%/3pt% in the league. and on top of that, cavs have homecourt and orlando has not won in cleveland. lebron is on a mission so orlando basically has no chance. cavs in 6 or 5

Give me a Break James Harrison. If it wasn't the Team the Won the Super Bowl than he would Invite his Team the Bears. He doesn't want 2 see the Pittsberugh Steelers he wants 2 see the Super Bowl Champs.

I'm a lifelong Steeler fan, actually James Harrison is my favorite player the team. But his explanation for why he won't go to see President Obama, is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. Could you imagine if the President would see every team regardless of who won the championships. Just seeing the professional teams in the four major sports would take 4 months, that's not counting college teams, Nascar drivers, extreme sports and cyber athletes. The man has a job. Get a grip James.

Why is showing up for a photo opportunity for a politician in anyway meaningful or important? This is just some publicity thing politicians use to appear to be like their constituents, they've been doing it for decades.
Just because he doesn't want to kiss a politician's ring doesn't make him bad or wrong. Just individual making a choice
I don't understand why people are bothered. So he doesn't want to go. He didn't want to go for Bush, why are so many people offended he treats Obama the same?
chunga777 2 years ago 2
Lol, I am not bothered that he doesn't want to go, but his reason was just about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. He should've just said "I don't want to go". Instead he made himself look like a dumbass.

He seems smarter to me than most people. His explanation was rational. He attaches no importance to the event and the President doesn't care if he goes because he only invited Harrison because he won. He isn't going to conform to social norms he doesn't believe are important just because they are social norms. Read between the lines (or in this case listen between the spoken words) people.

You're just as retarded as he is. He basically said that the only reason he isn't going is because they SB winners and that he would've came if he had lost. "If you want to see the Steelers then invite us when we lose (or don't win a SB...which would be the same as losing). That is fucking retarded.
YouGotPantherized 2 years ago
You are completely missing his point. Key word in the sentence is "IF." He knows the president doesn't really want to see the Steelers. It's just something the President does when a football team wins the Super Bowl. Harrison is being facetious. Of course the president isn't going to invite the Steelers when they lose. He knows that. Even in the short clip of the interview you can tell that.
ebaum1saik 2 years ago
His point? He had no point. You are so fucking stupid that you think he has a hidden message when he is just stupid. Quit while you're ahead, idiot.
YouGotPantherized 2 years ago
There is no hidden message. I haven't heard the guy speak before this clip, but (notice the smiling and laughing) he seems like he is joking and being facetious when he says the President should invite The Steelers when they lose. No need to get aggressive.

I Definetely respect your opinion but i see no way the Cavaliers are gonna thrash the Magic as a matter of fact i beleive the Magic will take the Cavs in 6 the Magic have the best bench and overall they are probably the best team in the Playoffs right now...i mean cmon dude Delonte West on Rashard Lewis or Hedo Turkoglu?...LOL the cavs froncourt 3 will prove to be to small for the Magic watch and see.

I agree...is he giving back his ring? Because the losers did not get a super bowl ring! Maybe hitting all those QBs has knocked his head loose!!! Did he go to the Parade?!?! I bet Pittsburg does not throw them a parade when they lose?!?!

Hey I love defense. And I like James Harrison. But he's wrong on this issue. The team that wins the Super bowl gets to go to the White House & that's an HONOR! I think he should go and take the glory of the invitation. They earned it!!
spdfrk1087 2 years ago
Maybe Harrison didnt vote for Obama. Remember, there ARE people who dont like Obama. Personally Im not sure if I like him or not yet. But if Harrison wants to blow it off...thats his buisness. I bet Harrison probably had prior engagements to be somewhere being a badass.

James Harrison was being sarcastic in the beginning. His true reason of not going is, "But, really, I don't feel the need to actually go. I don't feel like it's that big of a deal to me."

we have seen it this year and last. the only teams that have a legit chance of beating the lakers is a team that slows the pace, slows posessions, plays great defense/has great defensive strategy and has a great supporting cast. the nuggets are not an elite defensive team and they play the pace the lakers love lol. nuggets defense is not up there with cleveland/houston. i don't know if the nugz can score more points than the best offensive team in the league to be honest. w/e i may be wrong.
MrJeckel 2 years ago
niuggets vs lakers is gonna be real interesting. if the lakers don't come out and play, they will have a lesser chance of winning. but we should not be fooled here. houston gave the lakers so much problems because they not only had 1 great defender but 2 nba all 2nd or 3rd team defenders. no other team has that. no one on that nuggets team (and dont even say dahntay jones) can guard kobe. on another front the houston D is head over heels better than the nuggets D
MrJeckel 2 years ago
sorry JR but this is the one video I don't agree with. I think James Harrison is right. Obama should invite them just because they're the Steelers not because they're champions. Harrison isn't saying to invite them when they lose he's just saying don't just invite us because we won.Also like you said, all they do is get acknowledged take a picture and leave. And i'm sure James Harrison the Defensive Player of the Year and the Steelers will be able to take many more visits to the White House.

I'm looking forward to the east and western conference finals. I think that its going to be LA in 6 and Cleveland in 6. LA and Cleveland will be playing each other.

I think the nuggets are gonna win but the series is going to 7 and its going to be really exciting. And James Harrison should go, i mean does he really have that much to do in his life that he can't go meet the president?!?!?! How many guys get to say that they won a superbowl, went to the whitehouse, and met a history making president, regardless of how you got there or if you like Obama.

lebron james>orlando magic... lol sorry but all of that inconsistency they played with vs boston will not stand vs the cavs. cavs=better defense, better players, mvp=finals. ben wallace, varejao are better defenders than any defender the celts had playing (kg is obv better) and the cavs have one of the best opposing fg%/3pt% in the league. and on top of that, cavs have homecourt and orlando has not won in cleveland. lebron is on a mission so orlando basically has no chance. cavs in 6 or 5
