"As blog fodder he is nearly optimized: always up to something, rarely apologizing, usually dressed in a mockable, on-brand way."

"He takes bait but slings truths; he has an ego but he has a point; he looks all wrong when he’s not wearing a hat."

Mark म्हणाले...: Huh???????

I knew him nearly 40 years ago, back when our teacher Mr. Boettcher called him "little Jimmy Harbaugh." But never have I in all these four decades associated him with his hat. Matt Drudge maybe, but not Harbaugh.; १७/९/१६, ६:३५ PM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: I thought I knew who you were talking about until I read about the hat. Clicked anyway.

Every Saturday in the fall I root for two teams: the Fighting Illini and whoever is playing Michigan.; १७/९/१६, ७:०० PM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: Writing about; १७/९/१६, ७:०२ PM
Pete म्हणाले...: Whoops. Thought we were talking about Trump. Never mind.; १७/९/१६, ७:१४ PM
David Begley म्हणाले...: Harbaugh is a big wheel now but wait until he plays the Badgers!; १७/९/१६, ७:१४ PM

You're going to have a very long, very disappointing season. (Illinois got blown out today, at home, by a friggin' MAC team...from Michigan.)

GO BLUE!; १७/९/१६, ८:५२ PM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: @Rob, I was an undergraduate in the block 'I' when Dick Butkus was playing. Nothing has gone right since.; १७/९/१६, ९:२१ PM
sane_voter म्हणाले...: Looks like there are pressure cooker bombs in NYC. One exploded and one dud. CNN anchors are really hoping this isn't a Muzzie or another inconvenient perpetrator.; १७/९/१६, १०:५१ PM

essentially..why are we blabbing about a coach?
I agree...; १७/९/१६, ११:४८ PM
walter म्हणाले...: (maybe doing so invokes high return sports parrafin-alia a la Amazon); १७/९/१६, ११:५० PM
Humperdink म्हणाले...: Never been a fan of Harbaugh. Pick one.; १८/९/१६, ६:२७ AM
Curious George म्हणाले...: Hasn't beat the Buckeyes. Won't this year either. Of course that's why he's there. Michigan is 3-13 against the Bucks since 2000.; १८/९/१६, ६:४८ AM
rhhardin म्हणाले...: He falls under sports names. I have no idea who any of them are.; १८/९/१६, ६:४९ AM
Humperdink म्हणाले...: @rhhardin. Even for the casual sports fan, the Harbaugh family members are easy to spot. They typically operate at 440 volts DC. They are usually seen running up and down the sidelines berating the officials. They make Wayne Woodrow Hayes look like Mother Teresa in the sports world.; १८/९/१६, ७:१३ AM
Eric the Fruit Bat म्हणाले...: So I got a subscription to Smithsonian magazine. I knew little about it except it had behind it the prestige of the Smithsonian Institute. I expected it to be a survey course sort of thing for an educated general readership; laypeople who want to learn something about what sort of advances are going on in the world.

What sold me was the cover I saw on display at the library. Dark and dangerous-looking with an ancient helmet and the word "GLADIATOR" boldly in white.

How totally cool is that?

Anyway, turns out that the article about some archaeological site where used to stand a gladiator training facility is mostly about the career of the guy in charge of the operation. That's filler, so far as I'm concerned.

It's fucking People magazine, for crying out loud. Must be aimed at women.

Twelve dollars down the drain.; १८/९/१६, ७:२० AM
Roger Sweeny म्हणाले...: EtFB,

Science magazines went to that model decades ago. They think it makes the articles more interesting. See, it's all about the "process of discovery."

Perhaps the model was imported from science documentaries. To me, it works better there.; १८/९/१६, ७:४३ AM
