"Oh thanks, James, isn't great to help the troops ... oh, you're not James, that's right, he didn't think being invited to the White House was special or helping the troops was worthy ... he's got to get roided up for 09 so he doesn't return back to the backup grunt he was before roids."

Not going had nothing to do with the troops. Harrison lifted as much at his rookie combine workout as he can now. That kinda makes you story look rediculously dumb.

I guess Harrison didn't want any of that either.

--Maybe he had an important roid shipment coming in that he had to assemble

Harrison didn't go after Super Bowl 40. He had made up his mind not to go. It had nothing to do with helping the troops.

you bring up the right reasons to be a proud American not a disloyal steeler who cheats.

I don't think the Rooneys are happy about this at all. I don't think any Pittsburgh fans are. The guy sounds like a moron.

I rooted for Kevin Mack when he played for the Browns and he got busted with pot. I rooted for Winslow, the solja' (no relation) when he played for the Browns, and he has a history of saying stupid things. Jamal Lewis was in prison for selling drugs, but I want him to gain yards. Stallworth just killed a guy and might have been drunk and said "well, I flashed my lights but the guy didn't move", pretty dumb statment, yet if he plays next year, I'll want him to catch some touchdowns.

My point is, if we want to agrue about who has the nicest/smartest team, thats one thing, if we want to argue about how has the best team, that's differnt.

I don't want to be friends with these guys. I want to root for the Cleveland Browns to win.

That being said, I will never root for Ray Lewis, even though he is a great linebacker. Murder and cover up is over the line.

I don't know were you get he is some kind of team spokeman? He has done nothing to assume that role and nooboy's trying to put him into that role.

Hey fellow Browns fans.

Why did Harrison say what he said? Because he was invited to the White House.

Why was he invited to the White House? Because his team won the Super Bowl!

Why is this such a big story (besides being a really dumb statement)? Because he was Defensive Player of the Year of the NFL, and made one of the greatest plays of Super Bowl history.

Is he stupid? Sounds like it. Do I want to hang out with him? Probably not.

Do I want his talents for the Browns? HECK YES!

D'Qwell might be nicer (i don't know that) but Harrison is better football player. And when I argue with Steeler fans, I want to say we are a better team. Not that we have nicer/smarter players.

And don't say smarter players lead to a better team. If that's so, then why is Harrison and the Steelers so good?

Devils advocate.

It appears he has taken over as the team leader and spokesman over der in Pittspuke.

Like I said, if it wasn't such a sad indictment of Pittsburgh and their players it would be even more funny, but it's also got kind of an icky feeling to it that just leaves you shaking your head going "WTF?"

Of course he will be looked up to as a leader becuase he is a great leader. There is no question of his work ethic or ability. His desire to play great football comes from the heart, not the wallet as shown by him putting up that MVP performance after an All-Pro season, earning only 1.8 million each year. He quickly walks off any injury, including an injury were he could even walk. He has a football mentality.

I don't know were you get he is some kind of team spokeman? He has done nothing to assume that role and nooboy's trying to put him into that role.

If he liked America and supported America he'd be first in line to appreciate the history of the White house etc. Like i said before there is no defending this waste of space.

There is always the possibility that he has a standard learning disability associated with being a Steeler. I would feel bad picking on a Retarded dude even if he was wearing black and gold

I always thought living in America ment having the freedom of choice, but I guess not.

F U gorilla boy- This is a Browns forum, don't like it, then leave. A Hole Harrison is better then the rest of us and can't be bothered.

No one is really defending Harrison's actual comments, we are saying how rediculous some of you guys are acting. Like when a few of you tried to say that it meant he hates America......

@browns2405 said:

This had nothing to do with politics. He did the same thing in 2006 when Bush was president. He shouldn't have to do optional things just to support the owners political views.

Keep bumping this thread with pointless and sensless remarks. We need to make sure its still on the front page around this time next year so that we can continue the conversation on why Harrison skipped going to the White House for the third time!

See, there's a logical explaination, and no it doesn't include him hating America....

Some good points in this one too:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/179116-...or-not-steelers

I think the real reason Harrison didn't go was becuase he was afraid Obama would force him to become a Detroit Lion under his new spread the wealth throughout the NFL plan.

Word has it he's a communist supporter.

just sayin

Mangini should come out now and say "Quinn is the starter" If they are too close to call right now, then what difference does it make. He should say Quinn is the man. Players have to know this.

No mixed signals to Edwards either. Maybe the damage is done, but he should be told, you are the main reciever on this team, plays will be built around you, running plays and passing, and we expect you to show your tallent.

Bring Joe J. back to provide some leadership around work ethic.

What do you think?

JJ is done, time to move on. We have other leaders in Patten and Furrey and we can't get any older.

Everything else I agree with except I don't think they ever really thought about switching to a 4/3, that was more media driven IMO.

I think what Mancock is doing is working toward an identity, and that is a team of tough, smart, savvy, team oriented guys who are versatile. They're building depth across the board and in the trenches and identifying and going after problem areas such as injury prone guys and butterfinger WR's.

I see nothing to complain about yet, but as Grossi says this is the best time of year for a head coach.

If it wasn't so sad it would be hilarious.

I hope you didn't just blow your one take cuz you showed some potential as a possible board contributor and not just a negative and depressed anti-fan.

You might find this suprising, but my resolution is exactley what they seem to be doing. Let's build an idenity, stick to it, a punishing ground game and a intimidating defense. I remember last season or so they were talking about swiching to the 4-3. I think they should dedicate themselves to a philosophy, and stick to it.
