James Harrison on TB12 & BB

The feeling is mutual. Pats Nation quickly came to love James Harrison even though he was a hated Steeler prior.

Great interview. James has a champion's heart.

I love how Harrison won't consider him the greatest athlete or football player but the best QB. Defensive guys never change.

It's just another version of the Larry Bird analysis. People, even players, get caught up in measurables when they talk about athletics, and they tend to ignore things like hand-eye coordination, mental processing, unmeasured response times, and the like.

I love how Harrison won't consider him the greatest athlete or football player but the best QB. Defensive guys never change. And when Harrison says he has a full binder every game, LdT is aghast. Just classic.

im pretty sure he didn't say anything about greatest football player, he said not the greatest athlete, and he said greatest QB, but he stayed silent on greatest football player

i think to him Brady might be the greatest football player, but no, not the greatest athlete

...im not sure if there's anyone who would disagree, standing and throwing a ball isn't all that athletic...

I watched that segment live and was very impressed with Harrison's performance. Even more so in the light of the other linebacker who followed him and looked like an amateur by comparison. Anyone know a woman who will claim Ray Lewis sexually harassed her?

The striking thing about Harrison in that segment was that he was unscripted and as sincere about his feelings about Brady as it could get. He wanted his hate confirmed and acknowledged he was dead wrong.

Great interview. This needs to be posted on the Steelers message board
