Christmas Eve, 2005. Pittsburgh Steelers at the Cleveland Browns. Steelers linebacker James Harrison found himself in a giving mood — sort of.

In a 41-0 blowout, Browns fan Nathan Mallett had a bit of liquid courage and ran out onto the field, stopping play.

While celebrating his achievement of getting out onto the field, he started to make his way towards the Steelers’ bench.

That’s when Harrison stepped in, slamming Mallett to the turf from behind, creating “The Slam” of the Browns fan that will live on forever.

For Harrison, the moment remains a hilarious one.
