Ron Cook: Hard not to be intrigued by Steelers linebacker James Harrison

Can we agree James Harrison is the most interesting player in Steelers history, maybe the most interesting athlete in Pittsburgh sports history?
Harrison was interesting on Christmas Eve in 2005 when he body-slammed a Cleveland Browns fan who made the awful mistake of running onto the field. “I didn’t know if the guy had anything on him or whatever,” Harrison said. “With his back to me, I thought I could take him down safely without risking injury to myself or my teammates and hold him there until the proper authorities arrived.”
Harrison was interesting in 2010 when he talked of his knockout hits on Cleveland’s Joshua Cribbs and Mohamed Massaquoi. “I don’t want to see anyone injured, but I’m not opposed to hurting anyone. There is a difference. When you’re injured, you can’t play. But when you’re hurt, you can shake it off and come back. I try to hurt people.”
