    Isnt his dad "James" Evans from Good Times?
    Dad had an inescapable grip as well.

    In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

      It will sound weird, but James is a young 38 in football years. He toiled on special teams and spot duty for a few years getting his first starting role in 2007. He then spent time in cincy where he didn't play much. Really his body has about 9 years tops of football wear and tear. Now father time is the undisputed champion when it comes to age, but with the help of a low games played age James is beating the odds.

      BTW, big James fan since 2005. In fact when he was told through a family friend that I was wearing his Jersey in Buffalo when he scored his first TD (2005), he said "dude has my jersey before anyone in my family". Wore it today.

          Here's to Harrison's late father being a Nostra-Deebo, of sorts:

          Harrison recounts one last story about his dad. He said his father predicted two things before he passed away in May: 1) The Cleveland Cavaliers would win an NBA title; and 2) the Steelers (http://www.nfl.com/teams/pittsburghsteelers/profile?team=PIT) would win the Super Bowl (http://www.nfl.com/superbowl). That's just more motivation for Harrison to hoist his third career Lombardi Trophy.
          Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

          Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

          We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

          We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

            his "On field" duties may make him a young 38 per se.. but the mountains of weight he's moved in the weight room that last decade + have taken their toll on the joints as well. I like your optimism though!! Regardless, James is beating the odds as you stated.. Far more impressive then what Brady has been able to do.. especially when you consider the amount of abuse JH takes on every single play.

              He had a sack too....

                and when I say "Amount of abuse JH takes on"... im saying he's on the giving end... more than the receiving end of the punishment. Still takes it's toll regardless.

                  I think he was credited officially with 1.5 sacks...

                    I just checked and he was....if he can get 3 more sacks throughout the postseason (let's hope he gets the opportunity!), he would be 3rd on the all time postseason sack list after Willie McGinest and Bruce Smith...

                          it's the numbers before 3. If you are asking about the players who are 1 and 2 it's in the post you quoted.

                            1) Willie McGinest - 16

                            2) Bruce Smith - 14.5

                            Right now, number 3 is Terrell Suggs with 12.5, then Reggie White with 12...and then a three way tie between Clay Matthews, LaMarr Woodley, and Charles Haley all with 11 playoff sacks...Richard Dent comes in at 10.5...then there is a logjam with players at 10 sacks, including James...

                                What a shame that guy was... legitimately could've been an all-time Steeler great, if he would lay off the 🍔🌮🌭. He had it all, including a dominant JH to draw all the attention.
