James Harrison plays for Pittsburgh but won't be going to Pennsylvania Avenue
Maybe there is something he doesn't want the FBI to find in a background check.

Or perhaps he's allergic to roses.

For the second time, Steelers' star James Harrison won't be going to the White House with his Super Bowl winning teammates.

He also did not go when the team visited President Bush in 2006.

Grant Hill, co-hosting on Mike & Mike this morning, on Harrison's snub: "I'm ashamed...It's an honor. It's a team event. For him not to want to go, I just don't get it....That's sad."...
