Harbaugh will have a PB&J
Kind of a funny story about Jim asking for a PB&J from David Cutcliffe's wife during a film session with Payton Manning during his time with the 49ers.
Could definitely see Harbaugh doing this, which is part of what I actually enjoy about him. Payton tells the quick story in the link below.

I've been watching the Peyton/Eli broadcast and its been pretty good. It started off a little weird with a gimmick or 2 in the first quarter but they've calmed it down and focused on the game. They're more focused on the X's and O's than your typical crew. I also like some of the conversations they've had with their guests. Namely, when Ray Lewis came on during the 2nd quarter and talked to the guys about how Eli had a 0.0 QB rating in his first start against the Ravens and how Peyton always had a difficult time figuring out what they were doing on defense. Peyton's was especially interesting because Ray explained that he and Ed Reed would basically change whatever they had planned a few seconds before the snap to fuck with Peyton's head. Ray also explained how their defense was fluid and players on different sides of the formation could flip responsibilities before the snap. Peyton was like YES THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW! Really cool to see that interaction.

A couple more neat little things during the broadcast:
As soon as Travis Kelce came on midway through the 3rd quarter, Eli asked him point-blank, does he make up his routes as he goes? Kelce immediately confirmed it and it was kind of funny how validated Eli felt for figuring it out. Kelce said that he has a lot of freedom during the play and that he has a good enough relationship with Mahomes to where they know what each other is planning. He described the Chiefs offense as "controlled chaos" because he doesn't want to affect someone else's route with his improvisation.
Russell Wilson was pretty interesting to listen to as well. He came on midway through the 4th quarter and he helped the guys break down what was going on during the game. Excellent insight from all three of them to end the game. Very cool.
Overall I'd say the broadcast was pretty good with some things they can improve on, especially those gimmicks they quickly abandoned early in the first quarter. I'd expect them to become more polished as the season progresses and this will be my preferred way to watch MNF by season's end, if not already.

I said in another thread that Urban Meyer likely has Narcissistic Personality disorder and should probably be an interesting psychological study…..
From hearing this story and Harbaugh’s other antics and his seemingly being a total weirdo next to his very polished and likable brother, John….I have to wonder if a psychological study on Harbaugh would show he has some low functioning form of asbergers or autism, or be considered “high tone”?
Seriously, such a strangely quirky and likable guy, that likely drives people crazy at times.

I'd bet many people who become famous in athletics, music, politics, or business etc are a little neurodivergent in some way - normal people don't become NFL quarterbacks or billionaires, they become accountants and teachers and plumbers.
September 13th, 2021 at 10:35 PM ^
This is absolutely true. Nobody "normal" ever did something interesting/great. That's why I encourage my friends to be weird. To be eccentric. To embrace the "quirks" of their personality. They'll feel better about themselves and become better, more interesting people.

Who hasn’t felt neurodivergent at times?
September 13th, 2021 at 10:53 PM ^
I've said that for years. My guess is maybe a little aspie, maybe a little mania dominant bipolar.
Normal people don't play baseball alone all day long in elementary school.

"Seriously, such a strangely quirky and likable guy, that likely drives people crazy at times."
The dominant narrative around here before the start of the season was that people were sick and tired of the tree-climbing weirdo who hasn't achieved anything at Michigan, but after a couple of victories everybody's back to loving the guy who has somewhat atypical sandwich requests.

I think you might be a couple seasons behind. Harbaugh has been more vanilla for the last two years and everyone has been wondering WTF happened to the quirky weird guy that had fire in his belly......
I think more of us have been asking him to stop the meds, or whatever it was that toned him way down, and come back.
September 14th, 2021 at 10:05 AM ^
You lost credibility when you called PB&J an "atypical sandwich."
September 14th, 2021 at 10:42 PM ^
I never stopped liking him or was annoyed with his antics. Just the loud minority on this board we’re saying that. I missed his quirkiness though, he looked a little gloomy the last couple years.

The best raspberry jam I've found:

No way Harbaugh would eat red jam.
September 14th, 2021 at 7:53 AM ^
LOL, I didn't even think of that.

DONT EVEN think about doing an OT: Best Jellies and Jams thread.
September 14th, 2021 at 7:32 AM ^
Jellies do not have the fruit, but the flavor of the adjective fruit. Jam is the fruit, mashed with added sugar. Should we put this fact in a diary? I agree that a post won’t do this topic justice. I’d hate to JAM up the conversation.

You tempted fate.

I loved that broadcast with Peyton and Eli, I'd watch that every week.

How the METOO movement missed Payton, I will never understand

Make Barkley a regular. He's too funny and Peyton clearly enjoyed having him. Charles is the best! Would've liked to hear how nervous Chuck was during the golf match. Peyton would've had fun with that.
September 14th, 2021 at 10:28 AM ^
I seriously can't wait for Barkley's appearances on TNT"s hockey coverage.
