Harrison to skip Steelers' White House trip (again)

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker and reigning defensive player of the year James Harrison is undoubtedly happy that his team won the Super Bowl this year. But strangely enough, he won't be going with the rest of his team to visit the White House next week:

"This is how I feel -- if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don't win the Super Bowl. As far as I'm concerned, he [Obama] would've invited Arizona if they had won," said Harrison.

There's no question that Harrison is a solid football player, but he's definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed. Then again, he is consistent: Harrison did the same thing after the Steelers' 2006 Super Bowl victory.

ESPN reveals Obama's tournament picks

In an ESPN special, President Barack Obama recently broke down his picks for this year's NCAA Tournament. And you know what? There's nothing wrong with that; who doesn't fill out an bracket? Well, there might be one thing wrong: ESPN's lame labeling of the event as "Barack-etology." But that isn't terribly surprising.

What is surprising, though, is that the president and I have one thing in common: our Final Four picks of Louisville, Pittsburgh, Memphis, and North Carolina. Hey, I'm all for change, so the change of me actually winning a few tournament pools this year would be well-received.
