Deebo and Lebeau

A pretty cool article on the relationship/closeness of Harrison and Lebeau.

They don't talk about feelings or throw around mushy sentiments and they try, Dick LeBeau and James Harrison both, to explain their football partnership in precise impassionate words.

So fine. Leave the emotion out. And just ask James Harrison if he thinks his career would've taken a different shape had he played not in Dick LeBeau's defense, but in another man's.


"I don't know," he says, "if I would've had a career."

Awesome article. My only issue is LeBeau stating, "It's a testament to his conditioning that he played the whole second half after running 105 yards in 100-degree weather." I was there, and after dark Tampa in February felt like Pittsburgh in October. Not exactly Pittsburgh playoff cold, but certainly not Latrobe training camp hot either. There was actually more of a chill in the air in Tampa for SBXLIII than their was in the climite contolled Ford Field for SBXL, so I have no idea where the 100-degree whether comment came from. He was likely 40-50 degrees off on that one.
