Veteran NFL linebacker James Harrison seems like a pretty cool dad.

The longtime Steeler is currently a free agent and his sons James III and Henry will probably want him to stay that way, if only so he could have more time to launch them into swimming pools like a cannon.

That's about as much fun as you can have as a little kid.

First time I watched, I thought Harrison would swing the boy back and forth once for momentum, but no — Harrison is a large man who doesn't need any of that warm-up business. The five-time Pro Bowler probably could have hurled Henry into the deep end if he wanted. Just look at the size of him.
