While there will always be a large number of disgruntled former employees, I find it somewhat annoying when former Steelers get on nation media and trash their former employer, especially after said employer paid them tens of millions of dollars.
Jame Harrison’s latest rants about the abuse he suffered at the hands of the Steelers after he came back from retirement to be a fill in is the latest player to inform the world just how dang gum horrible his situation was. First he griped about playing too much the first year, then griped about not playing enough in the second, disclosing that he tried to force a release until he finally got his way.
Now he’s saying he wanted to help the Patriots win two more Super Bowl wins out of spite. Of course the fact that he was old and slow and wasn’t offered a contract, not to mention, offered so little value to the Steelers that they would let him walk had nothing to do with how things played out. What is ironic, while he wanted to win the Patriots their 6th and 7th Super Bowl, apparently the Patriots came to the same conclusion as the Steelers. At this point in he career he was little more than Babe Ruth as a Boston Brave and was deemed not worth his stink.
While we enjoyed his best years as one of the best OLB of his generation, and loved his less than sunny disposition as a player, as a former player his words come off as the musings of a has been wallowing in his own fantasies of former glory and import to the game. Thanks for tarnishing your legacy Mr. Harrison.
