THIS MORNING’S LEADING CAUSE OF TUNIBONERS: A profile of James Harrison in the New York Times. The youngest of 14 children went from thrice-cut NFL Europe scrub to Defensive Player of the Year. His secret? Steroids. Lots and lots of steroids.

Football needs more suplexes.
I assume you Tarvaris Jackson catching a Rock Bottom at the end of the Eagles game from an unknown Philly blocker.

Don’t forget rage. My favorite football moment, which I will treasure for decades, was in Harrison’s first game as a Steeler vs. the Ravens who cut him: he grabbed a running back and fucking suplexed him while racking up a godawful number of sacks.

Yes.
Yeah, the Silverback thing seemed a little iffy, except it was his teammates who gave him the nickname, so I assume Harrison is cool with it.
If this football thing ever fails he’s always got that general studies degree to fall back on.
Must everything in the playoffs revolve around the Steelers?
Cute kid. I suppose they call him “Trey.”
I guess Ober Fuhrer Goodell approves of women beating?
I’m glad the Deebo nickname came around. I felt kinda weird calling him Silverback on account of the whole “monkey” analogy.
DeepFriar…that’s just the cover story.
I thought his secret was great coaching, training from certain disrespected veterans, and being surrounded by above average players.
/awaits verbal flogging
Do they refer to him as Mr. Silverback?
“thrice-cut NFL Europe scrub”
Could the Italian Spidey have anything to do with this??
Eh, he’s already been in movies. Who cares about the New York Times?
And yet everyone wants to ban steroids!
