James Harrison: Devil Worshipper?

As James Harrison addressed the media following team training activities, he attempted to justify his refusing of President Obamaโ€™s White House invitation.ย 

As he explained, โ€œIf the Cardinals won the Super Bowl, Obama could have just as easily invited Arizona to the White Houseโ€.

Yes James, and if I marry a girl, I can just as easily bring her to her family dinners.

Like the Chicago Cubs failing to win the World Series, it is an annual American tradition for the Super Bowl-winning team to visit the White House following their triumphant victory.

After subtly explaining why he chose a life of professional football over law school, his argument began to take a turn for the sacrilegious.ย 

As Harrison clarified, โ€œJames Harrison isnโ€™t going to the White House, he must be a devil worshipper."

Most analysts chuckled and disregarded the comment as mere comical exaggeration.

Not this self-proclaimed paranormal sports โ€œexpertโ€.

In an attempt to justify his non-attendance during the team White House visit, Harrison explained that he never accepted a White House invitation in the past.ย 

As he argued, โ€œIf it wasnโ€™t a big deal then, then why is it a big deal now?โ€.ย 

What Harrison was trying to allude to was the fact that the sudden media exposure and attention he received following his unprecedented performance created a double standard.

Coming out of nowhere as a practice squad and NFL Europe journeyman to a Pro Bowl pass rusher, Harrison has achieved a slightly bigger profile.

So I ask you, where did James Harrison come from?

Does this bigger profile include horns?

Players donโ€™t just become NFL superstars overnight.ย  They do it through birthing, substance abuse, and years of bad off-field decisions.

I know what youโ€™re thinking.

If Harrison hasnโ€™t taken the Burress school of gun safety nor birthed more children than the Brady Bunch, then how did he do it?ย 

Something isnโ€™t right.ย 

It wasnโ€™t the college summer he spent working with Rhett Bomar, nor the โ€œcalming presenceโ€ of Ricky Williams.

Foul satanic play must be involved.

Further investigation was performed...

Take his jersey number.ย  Now flip it upside down. Remove the two.ย  You'll see what clearly resembles a six.

Now take the number three, the number of games Harrison started in during Pittsburgh's 2005-2006 Super Bowl season.ย 

What does 6, written out three times resemble...

Shocking, I know.

In what was most likely a deal with the devil, Harrison attained these, dare I say, Satan-given abilities.

You be the judgeโ€ฆ
