James Harrison lifts weights the way the rest of us pick up a speck of dust
James Harrison is a ridiculously strong human being
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison, the hero of Super Bowl 43, surprised everyone this season by coming out of retirement to return to the field. Even more surprising: he didn’t look like someone who had just been retired and missed training camp and the early part of the season; he looked like prime Harrison.
How was this possible? Well there’s one explanation that leaps to mind: James Harrison is not a normal human being. Don’t believe it? There’s video evidence to back this up (from multiple angles, because Harrison is an artist when it comes to lifting weights):
That’s a 135-pound dumbbell. It is not a sack of flour, or a toaster, or a mouse or even a family of mice, or any other example of something mildly heavy. Harrison makes it look like nothing at all.

Now imagine you’re an AFC North quarterback, and you have to deal with that guy chasing you around the field trying to slam you into the turf. Maybe that’s why Johnny Manziel went to rehab; to mentally prepare for dealing with Harrison. Maybe there’s a special James Harrison rehab facility somewhere, and Johnny’s there right now with Colt McCoy, Kyle Boller, Charlie Frye, and other ghosts of AFC North quarterbacks past.
There’s not much else to say. James Harrison, quite simply, is an impossible human being.
