At about the minute mark Gruden puts up a picture of Dick LeBeau, Harrison's reaction is touching.

I can't believe you guys don't get what was done there. There is no respect for Tomlin what so ever he basically said he's a wateboy. Sorry Tomlin is gone after this year there is no way the rooneys don't realize he means nothing to this team

With this team's recent luck with injuries? Ben would probably wind up with a broken collarbone or something. Nothing doing. Besides, with this OL, they won't have to "give" him anything.

proving that sometimes the unspoken word is the most powerful words of all .... as powerful as the " I miss him " is ..... the dead silence leading up to it was awe inspiring

A very touching moment for sure and, that say alot for what players really think about Coach Lebeau. To see James reaction to this says it all!

Thanks, Zu. That video confirmed what coach LeBeau means to his players. To see James react that way confirms what we all know, it goes beyond X's and O's. His players trully love, admire and respect him. He's what every coach should aspire to become.

He is called Papa for a reason. Great video.

I've used a lot of words for Harrison in the past, including "great player," "Powerful," and even "old." One word I never used, and after the girlfriend slapping incident, never thought I'd use, was "class." However, that video overall, and in particular that moment with Lebeau shows a lot of class. To see a grown man as big and strong as him to get all choked up and not be embarrassed by it on national TV really does say something about the guy.

Get lost. That's not what James meant by his comments.

He is forever a Steeler in my mind.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

'Twas the Cinco de Mayo and all through España
Chiquitas wore fruit hats with lots of bananas
Sombreros were perched on men's foreheads with care
In hopes that their shadows would block out the glare.

The children were gathered to hit the piñatas
With visions of chilis and piña coladas
While mama and papa enjoyed the fiesta
The kids settled down for a daytime siesta

When out on the rancho arose such a clatter,
I dropped my maracas to see what was the matter
Away to the meadow I flew down the trail,
I reached for an udder and threw down a pail

The milk on the breast of the overfed cow
Fed hundreds of people and I don't know how,
When, what to my secular eyes should appear,
But a Catholic army inspiring fear.

With a little old leader, still only a kid-
I knew in a moment he must be El Cid.
More rapid than eagles his forces they came,
And he prayed to the saints and called them by name:

"Now Peter! Now Paul! Now, Mary and Anne!
St. James and St. Virgil! St. Elmo, St. Francis!
To the top of the hill! To the top of the plaza!
Now Ándale! Ándale! Arriba la Raza!"

As the armada fell to the British navy,
They sent some conquistadors over the sea
So out to the new world the vessels they sailed,
And in the name of España the armies prevailed.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard just by chance
Of Mexico's fall to Imperial France.
I was paying my taxes when I heard a strange sound,
And a masked man named Zorro came with a bound.

He was dressed all in black from his head to his foot,
And his sword was well-hidden by where it was put.
A bundle of pesos he had flung on his back,
And he went to the people to give them all back.

His eyes--how they twinkled! His dimples, caramba!
He was set to take back what was claimed by Columbus!
He had vengeful fires burning down in his soul,
And the moustache he wore was black as the coal.

The stump of a sword he held tight in his hand,
And the sheathe was attached to his leg by a band.
He had a broad stance and a trademark, you see,
He left his opponents with the mark of the Z.

He was lanky and tall, a right jolly hombre
And I graciously thanked him and told him my nombre.
A wink of his eye, like a crafty old vet-
He gave me a look I would not soon forget.

He spoke not a word but went straight to a trench,
And helped the republic get rid of the French.
And lifting his finger, his men to a halt,
And giving a nod to begin the assault-

He sprang to his feet, to his troops gave an order
And the people they freed from border to border
But I heard him exclaim 'ere he rode out of sight,
"Liberación to all, Mexico's free tonight!"
