June 27 (The Sports Xchange) -
Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker James Harrison is willing to
meet with the NFL about a report that linked him to
performance-enhancing drugs but only if commissioner Roger Goodell
shows up at his house for the interview.
Harrison wrote in an Instagram post Sunday night that the meeting
must take place at his house before training camp begins.
"I never had a bully before in my life and I'm DAMN sure not about
to have one at this point," Harrison wrote. "But since I'm a nice
guy & don't mind helping to clear the air in the name of the NFL
Shield, I'll do this interview. WITH THESE STIPULATIONS: The
interview will be done at MY house. BEFORE training camp. On a date
of MY choosing. AND Mr. Goodell must be present."

be ready for them. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
