    Eh, he’s already been in movies. Who cares about the New York Times?

    “thrice-cut NFL Europe scrub”

    Could the Italian Spidey have anything to do with this??

    Do they refer to him as Mr. Silverback?

    I thought his secret was great coaching, training from certain disrespected veterans, and being surrounded by above average players.

    DeepFriar…that’s just the cover story.

    I’m glad the Deebo nickname came around. I felt kinda weird calling him Silverback on account of the whole “monkey” analogy.

    I guess Ober Fuhrer Goodell approves of women beating?

    Cute kid. I suppose they call him “Trey.”

    Must everything in the playoffs revolve around the Steelers?

    If this football thing ever fails he’s always got that general studies degree to fall back on.

    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.

    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.

    Football needs more suplexes.

    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.
