John Buccigross: James Stewart starred in the 1939 film Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, 7 years latter James Harrison stars in the 2009 short film Mr. Harrison Refuses to go to Washington. The Steelers Super Bowl hero says he’s not going to the White House. His rational is quite astounding. Here it is:
James Harrison: If you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don’t win the Super Bowl. So as far as I’m concerned he would have invited Arizona if they had won so I mean maybe in the next 4 or 5 years when we…maybe year 6 when we don’t win it I guess. We’ll probably going to try to win about 3, 4 or 5 years get 10, 11 rings but really I don’t feel the need to actually go. I don’t feel like it’s that big a deal for me.
John Buccigross: The champion Steelers will make the trip to the White House next Thursday.
