FBN-SUPERBOWL MVP Santonio Holmes takes the trophy from Ben Roethlisberger on the presentation stand as the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 in Super Bowl XLIII at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, Sunday, February 1, 2009. Mark Cornelison/Lexington Herald-Leader/MCT TAMPA FL USA EDITORIAL USE ONLY Copyright: xx 1068841 MarkxCornelisonx krtphotoslive341873 ©IMAGO/Newscom World James Harrison, the former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker and two-time Super Bowl champion, revealed he’s ready to part ways with a piece of his own championship history. The comment came during a livestream on the “Deebo & Joe” show, after news broke that a Joe Montana jersey had just shattered a longstanding sports memorabilia record. Montana’s jersey from Super Bowl XXIV, when the 49ers demolished the Denver Broncos 55-10, sold for $1.515 million. It became the most expensive game-worn jersey ever sold, a record previously held by Tom Brady’s final-game jersey, which had sold for $1.39 million. When asked by co-host Joe Haden if Harrison would sell his Super Bowl XLIII jersey, here’s what he said: “It’s gone, Joe. Let it listen. To the highest bidder, Joe. It’s gone to the highest bidder,” Harrison said on the show. “That thing got sold in ’24, ’23, something like that. Wasn’t that much, maybe like $216,000.” Who wouldn’t want to own Harrison’s jersey, with which he made his iconic 100-yard interception return against the Arizona Cardinals? The latter was at Pittsburgh’s 2, on 1st-and-goal with only seconds remaining in the first half. Quarterback Kurt Warner threw a pass intended for Anquan Boldin, but Harrison snagged the ball. From there, he ran all the way to the other end of the field, giving the Steelers a 17-7 lead. James Harrison's legacy with the Steelers is legendary, and his Super Bowl moments are worth following closely. Subscribe for more interesting stories. That interception return is still the longest play in Super Bowl history. It helped Pittsburgh beat Arizona 27-23 to win their sixth Lombardi Trophy. Harrison also won Defensive Player of the Year that same season, becoming the only undrafted player to win the award. Trending Articles
