JAMES HARRISON NOT RETARDED AFTER ALL! He’s just a really bad liar. Apparently the guy just has an acute fear of flying and that is why he’s foregoing the trip to D.C. later this week to meet his worship, Cliff Huxtable. Nevermind, of course, that Warrrrshington is only, at most, a mere four-hour car ride from the ‘Burgh. THAT’S ANYBODY CAR DISTANCE! THAT ROAD WASN’T PAVED FOR JAMES HARRISON! [Mondesi's House]

So, where is BDD with the Vick post? The man has been out of prison for HOURS!
@ Kevin in ABQ: Who are these “Pens” you speak of? And what of these” Caps”? Are these rival street gangs? Mime groups? Alternative theater ensembles? Explain yourself, please.
Also, Harrison is an idiot. He flies every other week, no? Fuck the Stillers.
Only reason to travel to DC this time of year is to see the Pens beat up the Caps in front of a semi-friendly crowd…oh yeah, that’s over with.
Per PFT, here’s what Harrison’s agent said: “I would not want to speak for James,” Parise said. “But I know he’s proud of whoever we elected president.”
So, he’s only proud of Obama because Obama won? And if we had elected John McCain, Harrison would be proud of him?
I love irony.
Jon Stewart just did a bit on this. Brutal.
“Ah the A-Team….dare I say the greatest show ever? I dare.”
Loftiest show ever?
sweet vindication.
I hear he also has a fear of fellating.
I would argue that his made up excuse – not going because it’s only for Super Bowl winners – is proof of his less than mental giant status. I heard better excuses from my kids when they were 8 years old.
Gimme a break. This has the distinct aroma of face-saving bullshit if I ever smelt it. Clicking on your link, I see the “story” comes from Steelers beat writer Ed Bouchette of the Rooney PR Machine otherwise known as the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Clearly Dan Rooney didn’t want to offend President Dahkie so he had some bullshit story planted in the local rags because we all know Dan Rooney worships at the altar of the Suntanned Superman.
@ otto man: most confusing double negative ever.
Maybe James Harrison can find a way to fly without a plane. No one else does that. Well…except birds…ANY FOOL BIRD CAN FLY THESE SKIES?
The fact that Harrison is scared of flying doesn’t mean he’s not also retarded.
Last time the Steelers won, Joey Porter pulled a Rainman at the airport. “Uh oh! We definitely can’t get on that plane, motherfucker. QANTAS, they’ve definitely never had a crash. Definitely definitely QANTAS, motherfucker! RAAAAAH!!!”
Then Bill Cowher had to drive him to D.C. on back roads in a Buick Roadmaster.
Team Captain Murphy
Why does he play for the Steelers then? They’ll play everybody and anybody in the NFL within 4 years.
He should quit now.
“And gas up the A-team van, head east from Pittsburgh until you reach D.C.”
I’ve driven I-76 before and I’d rather cope with a fear of flying.
I think it’s just popular to have a fear of flying. BANDWAGONER!!!
I would absolutely pay real, actual money to see an A-Team movie with Harrison, Ben, Hines and Mike Tomlin and Hannibal… that would be… wow.
Do they have trains yet in Pittsburgh?
“And gas up the A-team van, head east from Pittsburgh until you reach D.C.”
On the Interstate? THAT’S AN ANYBODY ROAD!
Ah the A-Team….dare I say the greatest show ever? I dare.
Also I’m challenging James Harrison to a fight in a plane at 35,000 feet. If he doesn’t accept? Pussy. There, I said it.
Everyone had better agree not to tell Harrison that Tony Kornheiser just quit MNF because of a fear of flying. If he finds out it’s just SOME BITCHASS ANYBODY PHOBIA, he’s going to have to come up with a new excuse.

And gas up the A-team van, head east from Pittsburgh until you reach D.C.
“Listen up, Murdock. James Harrison will face the Chargers when they come to see him. Don’t be sneakin’ up on me with no hypodermic needles.”
“Don’t wolly. Loofies wirr kick in vely soon.”
HARF-HARF!
/cue A-team music
Um, doesn’t he fly at least a few times every season?
