What About the Losers?


Dear President Obama,

I'm a mediocre player on a mediocre team. Please invite me to the White House.

Your pal,

James Harrison

. . . .

Okay, so, actually, Harrison is a pretty good player on a very good team. However, I think I've pretty much summed up his feelings.

As SI reports,

Last week, Harrison told Pittsburgh's WTAE television station he won't accompany his teammates on their Thursday visit to the White House to meet President Barack Obama. "This is how I feel -- if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don't win the Super Bowl," Harrison said. "As far as I'm concerned, [Obama] would've invited Arizona if they had won."


In related news, Harrison demanded that the NFL stop handing out Super Bowl rings only to teams that actually win the Super Bowl.

For the record, it should be noted that this post was up WAY before the Daily Show decided to make the same joke, firmly establishing that Jon Stewart is a big fan of Dorks on Sports.
