It's never been confirmed but apparently Baalke and Harbaugh butted heads a lot too. Each wanted more control of the roster, and neither was willing to concede. Obviously, Jed chose the wrong guy.

I had heard this too actually. I also heard that Baalke was in tight with York which is why he came out on top in that power struggle, not anything actually related to job performance.

I think Jed is salty about Harbaugh too.

I remember reading a story once about a players and coaches when Harbaugh was coach. Jed walked in and Harbaugh said the meeting was for "men only"

That's pretty funny. I mean, if Jed didn't know Harbaugh was a jerk after interviewing him that's on him. Having his feels hurt doesn't seem like a legit reason to burn it to the ground, but what do I know? Afterall, I cheer for the Browns.

Betting that gets moved. We're not exactly Mexico's favorite country right now. Tom Brady himself couldn't repair the damage going on right now.

Yeah when L took place in Levi's, it was nuts. It's cool meeting fans from different places though

Somebody said they saw Cam Newton and a few other Panthers players at a popular taqueria. They were so tall that they almost hit the "Order Here" sign

man I think the Falcons are going to explode on the Pats. They've never seen a offense like this.. Maybe the Greatest Show on Turf but this feels different. Should be a great one...

In other news, did any of you guys catch that ESPN 30 FOR 30 last night on the XFL?? It was pretty good. Right after they had a tribute special for Chris Berman, that was fantastic also. Going to miss Berman alot.

Super Bowl 51 or LI.
New England Patriots vs. Atlanta Falcons
5:30 CST
Houston, Texas NRG Stadium

Riding on an explosive win vs. the Packers, Matt Ryans arm and a stellar defense, the Falcons are coming in to the game looking for there first Super Bowl win in franchise history.

Patriots are coming in with an impressive 9 game win streak. Belichek, Brady and company have an impressive four Super Bowl wins out of Six appearances.

My team`s not there but I will watch nevertheless. The matchup has all the makings for a great game, the commercials are always fun and since I won`t pay 4,000 for a ticket I will honor those they did pay with gorging myself with chips and dip and drink beer that doesn`t cost ten bucks and come in a plastic commemorative Super Bowl Li cup.

Enjoy!!

yeah, I'm not a fan or necessarily a hater of either team... I too, would like to see a good game... but I'd like to see Atlanta win
