Steelers' hilarious Bill Cowher and James Harrison story resurfaces
The hilarious back-and-forth between Steelers legendary HC Bill Cowher and DC Dick LeBeau in trying to get James Harrison off the field has resurfaced — and it's still just as funny almost four years later. The clip in question, from A Football Life: James Harrison, retells a 2004 story in which OLB Joey Porter was ejected during pre-game warmups against the Browns, giving Harrison his first starting opportunity — one that Cowher claims he refused to leave the field on: Advertisement "[LeBeau] goes, 'Coach, [Harrison] won't come out,'" Cowher said. "I go, 'Make him come out.' He goes, 'You make him come out. He won't come out.' I go, 'No, I'm not making him come out.' I said, 'He already told me he wasn't coming out either.' So I said, 'We both got the same dilemma.' I said, 'Just let him play. I've already cut the guy three times — I'm not going to tell him to come out of the game. I've already done that. I'm done cutting the guy.'" Harrison's drive and desire to be great — as evident in Cowher's hilarious retelling — is why the legendary defender will one day be inducted into the Hall of Fame, as the 2008 Defensive Player of the Year, four-time All-Pro, and two-time Super Bowl champion was nothing short of excellent.

Steelers legend Dick LeBeau details untold story on Cam Heyward's draft process
Steelers legend Dick LeBeau details untold story on Cam Heyward's draft process Steelers fans owes a big thank you to Cam Heyward's mom — as legendary DC Dick LeBeau revealed she played a big part in his scouting process. LeBeau recently appeared on Heyward's podcast and shared the untold story of drafting him: "We took you in the first round, and first-round choices, people like to be pretty careful with. I never felt any more secure in recommending a player than you. I don't know if you remember, but I went to your workout at Ohio State — and quite a few of your family members were there," LeBeau explained. "Your mom just made such an impression on me, and I said, 'This man has been brought up correctly. He's going to be a great asset and have a long, strong career in the National Football League.'" LeBeau went on to say that he appreciated the "insight" he had into Heyward's character — and he's proud when players prove him right. It was a heartwarming story for LeBeau to share, and it serves as another reminder that family plays a massive role in Pittsburgh.
