Why James Harrison Came Out of Retirement for the Pittsburgh Steelers [GIF]

When James Harrison decided to call it a day and hang up his cleats there were many that wondered why. The man is a physical beast that could still play; maybe not at the level he wanted to or for a team he cared for but he could do it if he wanted to. So when his old team in Pittsburgh found itself in need of some healthy linebackers and came calling he answered.

But why? Because he wanted to help his old team? Because he can? For the money? Or could it be because the man wanted to catch a touchdown pass on offense?

Had he caught it the crowd would have gone nuts and the internet would have exploded, but he didn't so the internet did not. As it turns out he never should have been in on the play anyway according to Big Ben after the game.

That can only mean one thing--next time they need to do it on purpose.
