Steelers LB James Harrison Not Interested In Endorsement Deals

They came at linebacker James Harrison in waves, and he flicked them aside as one might expect the NFL defensive player of the year to do. They were offers of money in trade for his appearance or his autograph or his endorsement. Yet, the two-time Steelers MVP was a hard sell, turning down "about 25, 30" such offers, according to agent Bill Parise. His reasoning: "James is James," Parise said. "James is not comfortable in a lot of those settings, and there's not a need to put him in them anymore." "I turned down a whole bunch of stuff," Harrison said. "Go here, do this and do that. I don't want to do nothing. I'm not interested, especially now, I don't really need it. "I'm happy with the contract I have. And the kind of money I would get from that versus what I'd have to do, I'd probably have to sit there and talk to people."

Someone who understands the value of money vs your own happiness....

When you have enough cash (as he does in spades) you don't need to make more by doing stuff you don't want to do....

I think thats pretty cool, I'm sure he'll change it up after he retires like they all seem to. Did he ever make it to the White House?
