Le Batard (Harbaugh interview starts @ 25.50)

Mike Francesa with Jim Harbaugh

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/audio/mike-francesa/

I loved hearing Harbaugh explain to Francesa how much he loves recruiting. He went on to tell a story about visiting the Dwumfour house and Mrs. Dwumfour cooking a top five meal that he's ever had in his entire life.

Le Batard is fucking hilarious. Love that show with Bomani and his pops. 

"Do you agree that Jim Harbaugh would be the guy to walk up at the end of a funny conversation and ask what's so funny?" 

"Do you agree that Russell Wilson looks like a Dolphin trainer?"

"Do you agree that Pete Carroll looks like a guy that would hit on your wife in front of you?" 

to Richard Sherman hahaha.

I don't like Highly Questionable that much, but I do love Le Batard's radio show, because he's the only person in sports radio who doesn't take it super seriously and is willing to make fun of himself when he screws up. For example, earlier this week, Le Batard fell into the trap of "ANY CRITICISM ABOUT CAM NEWTON HAS TO BE ABOUT RACE", people called him out last week, and Le Batard owned up to it and debuted the "segments without a mention of Cam Newton's race counter". 

I hate how ultra-seriously people who talk about sports for a living take themselves, basically.

little nugget given in the LeBatard interview I haven't heard before:

 

Harbaugh tells that he has almost no friends growing up possibly because he is too competitive.  In Jr. High counselor pulls him out because he's too competitive, and Harbaugh gets in trouble with gym teacher for beaning a kid in the head trying to win dodgeball.

 

Harbaugh is competitive to an extraordinary degree (almost pathological), can't fit in well at school.  Works well for us though, when you have to win football games.

I think we need to keep testing how much influence Harbaugh can have on people. Obviously that dude didn't want to pie himself, but after 1 minute of listening to Harbaugh, he probably would have pied himself 20 times over then ran through a brick wall. 

We need to see more of this!

This is true -- could definitely see Harbaugh's influence from the progression of Seton's body language. He goes from doubtful and unsure of himself to confident and aggressive in a matter of seconds. Just as hilarious, though, you could see him start to think to himself like, "Did I really just do that?"

Not sure why you got downvoted, but I'm starting to come around on this guy. IMO Kawakami is much better than the hack Greenstein.

I will hand it to the OP - this thread was a good idea and hopefully prevents a few repeats later on. Harbaugh did indeed have a rather full docket on the interview circuit today and it was very hard to catch up on all of it, so now at least I have some evening listening later on. 

Thanks again!

Awesome. I was already starting to google search some of these. Thanks! +1 for doing the work for me.

And in his interview he implies that Jim is a "dropback, traditional" QB kind of coach, and then after Harbaugh reminds him he coached Kapernick.  Greenie has to backtrack and say "I forgot you coached Kapernick."   

 

Really?  How can you be a sportscaster and forget that Harbaugh coached Kapernick?????  It was what, 2 years ago? Un believeable.
