Each Super Bowl has its designated Bad Guys, and this vintage of the Pittsburgh Steelers (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/team/pittsburgh-steelers/67067) has at least two. But with Ben Roethlisberger (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/player/ben-roethlisberger/200315) on best behavior, the quarterback finds himself on the cusp of a most curious redemption. This could happen only in the NFL. To win a Super Bowl is to be forgiven.

Roethlisberger, accused of several sexual misdeeds, needs only to keep playing the part: humbled and contrite, older and wiser. Maybe he’ll even get his beef-jerky deal back.

More interesting, entirely unrepentant and infinitely more admirable, however, is the Steelers’ other villain, outside linebacker James Harrison (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/player/james-harrison/114761). He doesn’t care if you like him. In fact, he probably prefers that you fear him, especially if you’re an opponent. He doesn’t need any friends, certainly not outside his own locker room, and definitely doesn’t need any endorsements.

Harrison began Media Day — an exercise in commerce disguised as journalism — more than 10 minutes late to his interview podium. Then he made a very conspicuous show, of sweeping all Gatorade products from the podium before taking his seat. All that was left was the Steelers cap and a microphone.

“That’s all I need,” he said.

I have nothing against Gatorade. But I almost wanted to applaud. There was something righteous in Harrison’s contempt. Pimpin’ ain’t easy, the saying goes, unless you’re the NFL. But Harrison wasn’t going to let the league make another dollar off him.
