James Harrison will live in people's nightmares

Just flipped on the NFL network. James Harrison was being interviewed. This man is made of stone. Not once did he smile. Not once did he laugh. I believe he only blinked twice. He was asked if he's ever seen intimidation in opposition. He said that no man who plays in the NFL should ever be intimidated, as his eyes were purely fixated on the camera. You can see the absolute focus in his eyes. Like someone trying to play the blinking game and being told to talk to you. James Harrison is an emotionless man just waiting for another chance to wreak havoc. One thing I love about Deebo is when he was asked about what, in his opinion, makes the Steel Defense so good. He said it's the fact that all 11 guys are playing for the guy next to them. BTSC be assured that Deebo is ready. If any of the Chargers caught the interview I know they are intimidated. Man he's awesome!

hilarious

the interviewer said that he recorded a safety against Drew Brees in the last chargers game.

NY Times Article

There is an article about Deebo in the NY Times. It is accompanied by the rare picture of him smiling. He is playing with his one year old son.

This makes him more scary: obviously, Deebo is not concerned about putting on a tough guy front (unlike J Peezy). But when it comes to football he is strictly business.

Just watched the video

Harrison seemed to scare the interviewer. He seemed really unsure of himself, especially when Harrison would answer with one short, direct sentence. Love it.

what a beast

I love how he carries himself. Especially on the field, he’ll never argue about being held because he’s already thinking about making the next play.

he was surly at times

Only one?

Does dominance count as an emotion?

by CarlWeathersMustache on Jan 8, 2009 10:37 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I think dominance is more of a state of being, as opposed to a transient emotion.

Oh man

 I can’t wait. Harrison is going to tear it up. I’m also hoping Woodley gets a sack. Haven’t seen a QB sandwich with Deebo and Woodley in a while. That would be nice.

Dude...

Your screen name is effin HILARIOUS!

thank you

I now have 2 screen names. If and when you figure it out, don’t tell the rest of the guys. Keep it to yourself. Shhhhh! oh and no I’m not Beerman. I would have already been posting to keep Ben out of the playoffs if I was. Lol

A couple things come to mind:

1. Another linebacker from Kent State. Kent State has been pretty generous to the Steelers with all these linebackers.

2. Why on Earth did Harrison have so much trouble getting playing time early in his career? Did he suddenly start working much harder? I remember the first time I ever heard his name was in a game vs. Cleveland in 2004. Porter got in a fight with a Cleveland player during warmups and got ejected from the game. Harrison replaced him and got 3 sacks. Perhaps Cowher made a mistake in 2004-2005 by playing Haggans over Harrison.

Perhaps Cowher made a mistake not playing Harrison ovwe Haggans?

1) Perhaps the Pope is Catholic
2) Perhaps a bear shits in the woods
3) Perhaps Silverback is one BAMF…in the same class as Hammer, Mean Joe, and Stautner.

Let me fix that

2) Perhaps a bear shits in the woods or on snow

he kept getting cut because he was the Silverback

He was such a mean a-hole no one wanted to put up with him. Cowher wouldn’t stand for it at first. I’m not joking or being mean. This is what I’ve gathered from interviews.

One of my favorite moments is from the Cinci Sunday night game last year. When they let the players intro themselves with their name and school, he just says his name. I obviously can’t do this justice in print, but he just sounds so pissed off that someone asked him his name. I replayed it about 5 times when I watched the game a 2nd time during the offseason on DVR. It’s hilarious.

Discipline

Apparently he had a hard time taking direction from coaches. He’d do things his own way whether the coaches liked it or not. When Dick Lebeau tells you to jump you say, “How high and which limb would you like from Tony Romo’s torso delivered to your doorstep?”

by Chicago Steeler on Jan 8, 2009 12:30 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

that interview was awesome

I thought he was going to eat the reporter. My favorite part was when the interviewer was like “congratulations on winning NFL DPOY” and he just sat there, like he was just going to toss the trophy into a pile in a closet somewhere and go back to lifting concrete blocks in his warehouse or something.

Then there was the part when the interviewer made the mistake of asking the retarded question about intimidation and Harrison basically said, “look, the only one who’s intimidated around here is you” and ate him. Well, he could have, anyway.

I wouldn't be surprised

if James Harrison does not have a birth name and had to make one up to collect a paycheck. At birth, all God gave to James Harrison was tree trunk quads and an insatiable hunger for QB sacks.

James Harrison killed Chuck Norris. Twice.

Man you beat me to it

I was going to say Chuck Norris has handed the torch to James Harrison.

James Harrison is a man’s man’s man.

That

may be pushing it a little too far. We all know that Chuck Norris, Mr. T, and James Harrison are all immortal. They have been around since the dawn of time and have graced us with their violent and destructive ways

LOL

“I read that at one point you were so frustrated you were even considering retiring and becoming a veterinarian…”

May God have mercy on the poor little creatures that James Harrison lays his hands on. I mean, it was bad enough seeing a man with that much rage trying to long-snap a football. But to put him in a room alone with a kitten is just sick.

by DC Black&Gold on Jan 8, 2009 11:25 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

haha

he would be the most efficient vet either.

Better than big snack being a veterinarian.

The Origin Of James Harrison

People often wonder where this man came from. 65 million years ago Dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Its often believed that a meteor struck the planet and killed off all the Dinosaurs.

But in actuality what had happened was evolution spawned James Harrison. He proceeded to kill all the dinosaurs to feed his insatiable hunger.

He later invented fire and the wheel and went on to become one of the leaders of prehistoric earth.

Eventually he was known as “hercules” in the greek annals of history.

Later on he would be known as King Leonidas who the movie 300 was based on, he would destroy almost the entire Persian army before leaving the area.

After a while he decided to settle the Americas. Contrary to popular belief, wind did not power the Santa Maria and Christopher Columbus’ fleet. Rather, James pushed the boats from behind with his enormous legs.

James would later singlehandedly defeat the English, dig the Panama Canal, carve Mt. Rushmore, and create the Grand Canyon.

Now, he makes an honest living playing OLB for Pittsburgh.

There you go with the meteors again...

Everybody knows that James Harrison is the love-child of a Caterpillar D9 and a Pontiac GTO.

The Pontiac has been port and polished. 500rwhp at 2500 Rpm, That’s Harrison

You forgot

That James Harrison first career sacking came at the expense of Rome (the city, not the ESPN personality). Not surprisingly, the sacking of Rome led to the Dark Ages where people lived in fear of dragons. Of course, this was James Harrison’s nickname before he was dubbed Deebo.

Just felt like giving you guys the truth!

Actually, there is no theory of revolution,
