Remember that Al-Jazeera report that said Peyton Manning and others were taking performance-enhancing drugs? James Harrison of the Pittsburgh Steelers was one of the “others,” and he’s ready to clear the air about the whole thing.
That is, as long as the NFL agrees to the terms of his interview he posted on Instagram.

Isn’t there someone at the NFL that Harrison can email? Wouldn’t that be more efficient than @’ing the person who runs the NFL’s Instagram account on Sunday night right in the middle of Game of Thrones? And even if the point is to drum up attention, again, right in the middle of Game of Thrones, James?
As far as the demands go, what gives?
Everyone has to go to your home? Why not get a free trip out of it? Have you been to New York in July? It’s so disgusting here, so that’s not the best example, unless you’re into swamp ass and the smell of urine baking on the streets. Or make the NFL meet you in Las Vegas. Have some fun with this.
On a date of your choosing? Well, yeah. That’s not so much a stipulation as it is a routine part of arranging a meeting. If you pick a date and that’s Roger Goodell’s wife’s birthday or his son’s first day of going to summer camp, maybe you can relent a little on the picking a date demand.
And Goodell has to be there? Again, the NFL offices in New York aren’t far from Times Square. Why make the league schlep out to you with all these people and recording equipment just so you can say you didn’t take any PEDs? You’re not playing this smartly, James. Send them an Instagram video next time.
Finally, saying you’ve never had a bully in your life makes everyone think you’re overcompensating for having a bully in your life. And really, this Instagram post is what someone would do when standing up to a bully, which the NFL totally is.
