Ageless Farrior is ready, as usual

[stillers4me]

Nothing really seems to bother James Farrior.

Not that he will be four months shy of his 37th birthday if and when the Steelers open their 2011 season on schedule. Not that he will be entering his 15th year as one of the ageless wonders in the NFL.

Or that, at 225 pounds, he is the inside linebacker and captain of the league's top defense.

He isn't even worried that the Steelers will have problems regrouping from a lockout that for five months has kept players from working at their team facilities and speaking with their coaches.

In fact, that seems to be the least of his concerns...............

i see foote leaving before farrior is done playing

With no offseason training activities to attend in Pittsburgh, he has joined several of his teammates -- cornerbacks Ike Taylor, Bryant McFadden and William Gay -- pushing his 36-year-old body through tough conditioning sessions in the searing Florida sun.

Let's hope this training helps McFadden and Gay too...

I just adore James Farrior.

I was worried after the 2009 season about him because he looked to be showing his age. But he erased those thoughts from my mind this past season. He played great. Hope this training he is doing works out for him and he can keep playing a while longer. Probably too much to ask for 3 more seasons, but I would love 2 more. Its gonna be like the heart being ripped out of the D when he retires...

James isn't old. He is just experienced.

Why he doesn't look a bit different than he did in college:

I love me some Potsie! :eyebrows: :lust: Not only is he one helluva LB and team leader, he's a total class act. I hope he plays at least 2-3 more seasons! :pray:

[Lambert_Loonie]

2-3 seasons? At the rate he's going, he could play 'til he's 50! :P

Farrior could probably beat them deep too.
