I am a humble winner and a good loser. Sometimes people feel good about winning, sometimes people don't like that. This is one of those times.

So it looks like Schwartz was making fun of Harbaugh for challenging a play earlier in the game.

quote:

Though neither of the coaches said so in their post-game press conference, the brewing discontent may actually have started much earlier, during a strange first quarter incident in which Harbaugh tried to challenge a touchdown he wasn't allowed to challenge. The 49ers coach threw the challenge flag to see if Detroit's Brandon Pettigrew(notes) had maintained possession of the ball in the end zone. (Replays suggested he had.) Except that Harbaugh can't review the play because all touchdowns are automatically reviewed by the booth. When his challenge flag came out anyway, Harbaugh was penalized 15 yards for an illegal challenge.

That delighted Schwartz, who was caught by television cameras saying something like "know the rules" toward the 49ers bench. It was hardly the calm behavior of a man who would be aghast later in the game at what he perceived was bad sportsmanship.

Exactly. As weird as Harbaugh's postgame handshake was, he comes out more likeable than Schwartz.

Harbaugh comes off as a guy who was celebrating a little too much (semi-tard).

Schwartz comes off as a bitch who had people asking themselves, "did he really just try to start a fight like a little bitch?" (Full retard)

Trust me, that's not why McDaniels is properly labeled as a douchbag.

Buffalo needs to be on that list...

Notice a common theme there?

That's because the Ravens were the old Browns, and those ties go deep. It's a technicality that they list it that way.

You're better than this.

Ravens/Steelers is what it is. Has nothing to do with the Cleveland history. No one from Cleveland, Balt, or Pitts sees the Ravens as the old Browns.

The early days of that rivalry, it was the same players, same management and same coaching staffs facing each other. In reality, it's the same rivalry, despite what someone wrote on a piece of paper.

Harbaugh was a dick about it although I dont think it was intentional. Schwartz had zero choice but to retaliate for the respect of his own team.

Harbaughs team will be behind him on this as will Schwartz's.

Harbaugh showed disrespect imo. Does anyone think he would have done Belichik like that?

Both guys have their teams playing great.

Great point, and no, he would not have done that to Belichick.

Not true. From day 1 they were the Ravens. Everyone in Cleveland knew we were getting a team back so that became the Browns, not the Ravens.

I think Belichik coached the last year in Cleveland, not for the Ravens.

Cleveland had/has nothing to do with the Steelers/Ravens rivalry.

That sort of sounds like the "official story line" Ohio fans want everyone to believe even if it's not reality.

So when the Ravens became the Ravens, the entire roster, coaching staff, ownership, management, everything was purged. Gotcha.

I must have missed that expansion draft...

I know what you're saying when it comes to team records and all that, but the fact of the matter is that THE PEOPLE WHO PLAYED IN THOSE GAMES ARE THE SAME GUYS WHO WERE BROWNS THE YEAR BEFORE.

Do you think Cleveland fans became Ravens fans?

Everyone can speculate all they want. All I can share is the way it was as a life long Cleveland fan and close follower of the Steelers and Ravens

Well, I think I changed my mind.

The Monday Night halftime show just showed the ground level behind the back video shot of the infamous handshake and that wasn't a slap on the back...Harbaugh gives Schwartz a Jordan-Russell shove/push out of the way as a parting shot.
