John Harbaugh is Perturbed at Steelers PA for Calling Flacco a Little Girl
During the fourth quarter of the Ravens-Steelers tryst on Sunday night some devilish wisenheimer working the PA at Heinz Field decided to play Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “What’s Your Name” right before Joe Flacco began Baltimore’s impressive game-winning drive.
Who the hell cares, right? Well John Harbaugh cares because the aforementioned jingle includes the lyrics, “What’s your name, little girl? What’s your name?” But what really drove the less maniacal of the two Harbaugh brothers insane was the presence of those lyrics on the jumbotron along with the inclusion of Flacco’s stats versus Ben Roethlisberger’s.
Here’s Kevin Van Valkenburg of the Baltimore Sun (via Larry Brown Sports):
John Harbaugh, of all people, was livid about this. (The Ravens coach was so fired up in the locker room after the victory, he actually pulled me aside to explain this, unprompted.) Harbaugh said he thought the lyrics — namely, “Hey, little girl” — were intended to be a shot at his quarterback’s manhood, and that made his blood boil. That’s part of the reason he was so fired up when Flacco engineered the game-winning drive, so much so that he cut his chin jumping up and down and celebrating with players.
An irritated Harbaugh pulling the reporter aside without any prompting is the true gift here. Can NFL Films or HBO please pay a visit to a Harbaugh family dinner? Thanksgiving would be ideal.
When Van Valkenburg later approached Flacco regarding his coach’s song gripe, he replied “I have no idea what you’re talking about. They were playing a song?” Perfect. While it’s certainly a good thing he wasn’t paying attention to crap like that, the response is still vintage Flacco, a consistently strange quarterback who’s been gifted with immense aloofness and unified eyebrows.

I like both Harbaughs and in general think they’re good coaches. But they also come off as being punks.
November 9th, 2011 at 4:21 PM
I feel like Harbaugh should be busy with something else at that stage of the game.
November 9th, 2011 at 4:22 PM
Fuck the Steelers.
November 9th, 2011 at 4:23 PM
So if the Harbaughs are going to be tag team partners, who is going to be Schwartz tag team mate for the main event?
November 9th, 2011 at 4:24 PM
Bo Pelini.

Gary Patterson thinks this is bullshit.

KSK had a great Harbaugh parody last week. Thing is, it might be 100% accurate.

Jim Caldwell can escort them to the ring while carrying an urn seeing as he kills everything he touches.
November 9th, 2011 at 4:26 PM
Ever know people that were overly competitive the way the Harbaugh’s seem? (the way they seem from a distance anyway).
Unbearable to be around.

Brian Kelly’s hat just blew into the ring.

Jim and John Harbaugh vs. Rex and Rob Ryan That’d be like the Mega Powers vs. The Natural Disasters.

When the Bears come to Lambeau we can only hope in the same circumstance they play “I Want Candy” for Jay Cutler

I’ve always hope they would play the “that a big damn twinkie” scene from Ghostbusters on the jumbotron.

Though if he did, and consequently lost a foot, that would sure make for a funny team injury report.

Something tells me they already filmed this since they are playing the “Harbaugh Bowl” as the late game that night.

Al Michaels would still say he’s “out with a foot” though.
November 9th, 2011 at 4:39 PM
I’m guessing that if the Ravens win, John extends his hand and Jim accepts it with a pout like a good little brother, and if the Niners win, Jim prances around like a little girl, slaps John on the back and gets an actual big-bro beatdown this time.

Flacco is the personification of “derp”.

Be careful. Referencing that rat-faced bastard in these parts can get you tagged as the douchiest douche who ever douched a douchecanoe.
November 9th, 2011 at 4:41 PM
I’d rather overdose than have a 2nd asshole. It would make one wonder what the questionable tag referred to.
November 9th, 2011 at 4:44 PM
OT:
Russian police find 29 female corpses in a college professor’s home. All age 15-25 and dressed up like dolls.
My favorite part is at the end though where it notes that he could be sentenced for up to a year of “correctional labor”.

I think you need to look up what an anal fissure is.

Also, the Harbaugh Bowl might produce the greatest game since LSU-Bammer lo these many days ago. In other words, mano-a-mano combat in the trenches, some ferocious hitting by the defenses and not much scoring.
Actually, you can blame that last part on the presence of Alex Smith and Joe Flacco.

Flacco would be better served if he was greeted by music from this guy and his bandmates.

Agreed. His emotional distance is unparalleled.
