He wasn't about team, it was Team James

New Patriots linebacker James Harrison reportedly spends $300,000 a year to fly out specialists to keep his body in top form

Professional athletes will go through a lot to stay in shape.

For aging athletes, spending money on health and wellness is an investment that can help add years to a lucrative caeer and each year could be worth millions more in income.

No player better embodies this idea than 39-year-old linebacker James Harrison, who recently joined the New England Patriots.

According to a report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Harrison spends $300,000 a year just to keep his body in top form.

While younger players may get by with a personal chef and a quality home gym, Harrison, pushing 40, goes the extra mile when it comes to taking care of his body. Not only does Harrison see experts in acupuncture, chiropractic, and cupping, he even flies them out as needed.

As the report states:

For his muscles to handle the lifting sessions and the NFL grind, Harrison says he needs an acupuncturist, a dry needlist, three massage therapists, two chiropractors and "a person who does cupping."

But Harrison, 39, doesn't surf the net and read reviews like the rest of us. He goes underground for the most exclusive specialists.

"The people I use right now, you can't find none of them on Google," Harrison said.

That's where the $300,000 comes into play. Once he heard about these elite technicians and tried their services, he had to put them on the payroll. They are based in different parts of the country, including California and New York, so he pays their airfare and expenses to get them to town when he needs them.

According to Harrison, he sees each person at least once a week.

Harrison has posted photos of some of these sessions to Instagram, including the cupping treatments.

If meaningful snaps were in the service of helping the team win, then I agree. If in the service of satisfying Harrison's understanding of the deal made with him, then fuck that.

I'm just hoping we see this fucker on the waiver wire come Monday morning. You've just been cut again, James. Happy Fuckin' New Year!!

[BethlehemSteel]

among the many article this year about him being ok with mentoring, sound like it was all a ruse to collect the check

this one was from 2 yrs ago.

James Harrison just commented on this whole clusterfuck from his perspective..This whole thing could and should have been avoided, JH could easily have received some meaningful snaps and we could have developed the young guys at the same time. Mishandled by a team that doesn't usually mishandle these sorts of things and then JHs behaviour afterwards was also childish and unprofessional, just a clusterfuck by all.

I hear what you're saying Swiss, but you're tellin me our OLBs were so lights out that JH couldn't have gotten a handful of snaps here and there? I mean Bud Dupree was awful/MIA for most of the season.

By no means were they lights out. But if their play exceeded what the coaches thought they would get out of #92, then why put him in? Just to satisfy his ego/expectation? Don't think so.

But if you remember back, JH was going to retire, they had to convince him to come back and I think its safe to assume some promises were made regarding playing time, if that's why he came back and then you go from 25% to literally zero, I bet no player would be happy with that let alone a competitor like JH, not condoning his behaviour but you can kind of see where hes coming from, I just think this whole thing could have been avoided and was clusterfucked by all parties... JH and Tomlin/Porter/Butler

...and a last point..if the Steelers thought he couldn't help them anymore and that his play had fallen off so drastically they wouldn't have kept him around for so long and put up with his BS

[Legacy User]

Not absolving the Steeler staff for their contribution to this mess.......but at this point.......fuck James Harrison.

[swissvale72]

Sure....he wouldn't be happy with the reduction from 25% to zero, but keeping him happy at the expense of compromising the defense shouldn't happen, either.

WHY was he kept around, if the opinion that his play was way diminished?? Who the fuck knows. THAT may be the dif between Tomlin & Belichick, with Tomlin not wanting to cut a player of Harrison's history with this team....whereas Belichick wouldn't give a shit. Finally, got to the point where Tomlin couldn't abide it.

Speculative on my part, obviously.

[Legacy User]

i am not jumping to any conclusions. We weren't there, we don't know.

James Harrison helped us win a Super Bowl and make another. Best pass rusher we've had since the 70s, best run stopping OLB we've ever had. He belongs in the same category overall as Lambert, Ham, Russell. At the height of his game, he was every bit as good overall as Lawrence Taylor.

Steelers made a business decision. Harrison can't run anymore, and we drop our OLBs into coverage about as often as we have them play the run or rush the QB. Harrison cannot do that, at all anymore.

Harrison made a business decision. We weren't playing him, he wanted to play.

I'm sick of the high school drama BS.

Let's get back to football.

See that's the part I don't get, Tomlin was good with fucking over a player with said history by letting him rot on the bench, but he wouldn't want to cut the same player? And then finally I would have suspended him instead. Not interested in helping out a key rival.

Because they had 2 young, inexperienced starters who were battling injuries early in the year and they didn't think anyone on the street was a better option than Harrison? It sounds like the Shazier situation is where things really boiled over, which ultimately led to his release.

There was no Shazier situation, its already been debunked, JH visited him just not with the team.

I think Pabst is half-right. Harrison was being paid, so Tomlin could use him how he wanted....if this involves fucking him over, then so be it. It was not in the team's best interest to cut Harrison, even though he wasn't playing, or dressing. So, in response, Harrison becomes a dick, then Tomlin cuts him. Still think Tomlin should've just told him to stay the fuck home, change the locks on the place if he needed to.

Fair, i haven't been keeping up. The first part of my post still remains.

I've been away from the internet, in the Burgh for a few days, so I missed all the thousands of comments here, sorry. My beef with Tomlin and the Steelers after hearing so much in depth on this in Pittsburgh the last 3 days. Is why give him the release he wants? Why not purposely fuck him over, somehow deactivate or suspend him indefinitely, ban him from the facility, fix it so he can't get his wish to go play somewhere else? FUCK HIM. I think granting him his release was being nice and loyal to him, fuck that shit, piss on him, don't give him opportunity to help someone else.

That's a damn good rant, just a wee bit whiney about Patriots though. On the whole though, I like it!! I'm going to invite this dude to post here.

[COR-TEN]

Harrison just made it worse. He's calling the steelers organization liars and/ or inept/ incompetent.

Everybody on both sides should just shut the fuck up and get on with it.

[Donnie Brasco]

Not absolving the Steeler staff for their contribution to this mess.......but at this point.......fuck James Harrison.

That's the best take you can gather from this mess.

Fault on both sides but to me this is merely damage control from James

Exactly right, Nick!! Been my take since this broke.

[Nick79]

Harrison got all the sympathy from Yinzer Nation the first day, Tomlin got all the hate-I didn't hate Tomlin so much, because I was sitting there thinking this guy never plays, he must not be very good anymore, then the players ripped Deebo and it became clear that he orchestrated the whole thing, especially after I see him posting a pic with Brady 24 hours later! And for me, that's when I started hating on Tomlin! When I realized he gave him his wish instead of fucking him over for the good of the team, in a warped way, cutting him was being loyal to him.

Because, among which is just being honorable and basically decent, you might want to be able to sign another aging veteran to a depth position sometime in the future, and if you "intentionally fuck over" players, particularly ones who have been high profile key contributors for over a decade, that might become difficult.

Did we really need yet another thread for this?

Fuck the future, fuck honorable and decent, of what might happen if you fuck over some random veteran, it's wrong to give in to these guys. It sets a precedent, they did it with Blount too, now if IT WAS ME and I was unhappy with my personal situation, I'd purposely orchestrate getting kicked off the team if I was confident I could get a situation that could make JUST ME happier. Of course you have to have talent and be in demand, I bet Martavis Bryant could have orchestrated going to the Pats too if he tried, LOL. That's why, yeah, you fuck them over so they know it won't work and the next guy won't try it. .

What if they are liars?

I can't fault a man for wanting to practice his craft. I assume the contract was signed with the understanding that Harrison would get a fair shot to compete for the job. He clearly doesn't think he was given that.

They should have went their separate ways the first (or second) time he asked to be released.
