James Harrison updates his status — sort of

Posted by Darin Gantt

Two days after having arthoscopic surgery, James Harrison was walking through Steelers camp with no apparent limp or any protective gear on his left knee.

But if he was feeling good, it didn’t translate into feeling like talking.

Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette caught up with him walking to the cafeteria, and transcribed the following exchange.

“Q:What did they do, scrape something out behind your knee?

“A. I don’t know.

“Q. Can you bounce back at 34 as you might have at 24?

“A. The body doesn’t come back as quick, that’s just natural.

“Q. What are you doing?

“A. I’m doing whatever it is they tell me to do.

“Q. What can you do?

“A. Whatever they tell me to do.

“Q. And what is that?

A. They haven’t told me nothing yet.

“Q. Are you swimming, stuff like that?

“A. No.

“Q. Can you still have a big season?

“A. Yeah, I’ll be all right.”

That’s a grand total of 41 words of insight from Harrison.

For some reason, I kept hearing Shaq's voice when reading Harrison's answers.

I love James' "interviews". He's always looks like he's on the verge of kicking the shit out of somebody if they ask the wrong question.

His Super Bowl interviews were always fun to watch. You could tell he had zero patience for stupid questions. Classic!

Wow, I heard Shaq too.

this was classic.....great read but the reporter should have got the message after the first answer, but I guess he was doing his job....don't think I'd want to irritate Harrison though

Not unless you enjoy suffering concussions.

Sadly, so do I.
