Okay. So maybe Steelers fans can go ahead and burn their James Harrison merch, because his old teammates are accusing him of some wild, disgruntled behavior throughout this season.
Maurkice Pouncey fired the opening salvo on Wednesday with an ultra aggressive comment to reporters about Harrison “erasing his own legacy” by signing with the Patriots. He also claimed Harrison wanted off the team all along and that he should admit that. Bud Dupree chimed in as well, laughing in response to the thought of Harrison being a mentor:
When asked if James Harrison was a “mentor” to him, Bud Dupree laughed and walked away from the media scrum. #Steelers

Accusations are fun, but let’s move on to the hilarious, albeit very unprofessional, acts Harrison allegedly put on (via ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler):
Players witnessed Harrison sleeping in a recliner during position meetings and snoring loudly while outside linebackers coach Joey Porter tried to teach, the source said. Sometimes, Harrison would skip meetings altogether, and when he missed practices for various injuries, player suspicions would rise when Harrison conducted his famous power-lifting sessions the same week or day, the source said.
Harrison left the building at random times, would leave stadiums before or during games on days he was inactive and told teammates he was trying to get traded, released or placed on Injured Reserve, the source said.
There you go. It sure seems like Harrison was one ****ty teammate in his last stint with the Steelers. Feel free to destroy the $100 jerseys.
