John Harbaugh: My brother has never eaten a booger.

Submitted by Blue and Joe on

John Harbaugh has finally weighed in on #boogergate. You might expect an older brother to jump on the idea that his younger brother eats boogers, but not John.

#Ravens HC John Harbaugh: "My brother has never eaten a booger."

Like Jim's statement, that's pretty definitive. I think this serious situation warrants a new banner.

How is this still a story? And honestly, so what if he did? It's just a damn booger. 

You think Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, or Bill Belichek have never eaten a booger in their lives? Everyone has at least once, probably many more than that. And anyone who speaks to the contrary is a dirty, rotten liar. 

Besides, what good is mining nose gold if you can't share it with the townspeople?

As much as I agree with you, those institutions exist because at the end of the day, people don't like normal. They don't care about normal. Why? Because normal is boring and predictable. Are you going to watch the gameshow with the smart, calculated, level-headed contestant who takes his time and plays it safe, or are you going to watch the one with the hot-headed, obnoxious idiot who shoots first and asks questions later? 

It's like watching the Jersey Shore: sure, those are the last people in this country who should ever be looked to as role models, but they're entertainment. They're crazy, spontaneous, idiotic, whatever you want to call it. 

Those institutions also exist so we can snoop into other's private lives and feel better about ourselves. "Hmph, at least I don't eat boogers." Or "Hmph, at least I don't get drunk and cheat on my girlfriend in the next room every stinking episode." Or "Hmph, at least I'm not the idiot who will continue taking my cheating scumbag of a boyfriend back every single time."

It's all a big coping mechanism.
