    Yeah, that was pretty funny. And I thought the punt return after the next Vikes possession would go the distance, too, until he collided with his own man.

            • Based on Hester's current body of work, I would say not. But if he adds a couple TD returns a year and develops into a quality WR over the next 5 years, could be.

              I'm still bitter over the NFL moving up the kickoff line this year, ostensibly to reduce injuries. It really hurts those few teams that actually pay attention to the special teams phase. Now all it takes to neutalize someone like Hester or Cribbs is a kicker with a big leg and a directional punter. Bor-ing.

                How about that Jim Schwartz? You got a ***** and a sore loser for a head coach, Detroit.

                  • Amazing how team loyalty can blind you to the obvious. Harbaugh is happy with the come from behind win, shakes Schwartz hand and pats him on the back. Harbaugh can't be a dick because he isn't the one who chases after the winning coach looking for a fight.

                    And you know Schwartz is a ***** because when Harbaugh turns to confront him, Schwartz does the classic 'look away for someone else to get involved' thing that a ***** does when he's in over his head.


                    Yes, I've watched the entire sequence ten times already. It's obvious who's the weak ***** who started it.

                    • It's split because the camera turned away, apparently:



                      Here's the second half of the interaction with Schwartz acting like a mad man:

                      • Anyway, looks like Brandon Lloyd will be a St. Louis Ram, following the coach's decision deactivation of the disappointing Mike Sims-Walker. Eddie Royal also reportedly wants out and Denver has made it clear that they are willing to ship Orton to division rival Oakland if they are compensated accordingly, but with Garrard out there, I don't think it would happen.

                        The Broncos could potential come out of their bye a dramatically different team, in personnel and philosophy, than the one that entered the game against San Diego last week.

                          I understand exuberance, but I also recognize that the "pat on the back" was a little over the top.

                          • It seemed there was not only a "pat" on the back but Harbaugh used some obscenity. That is what Schwartz said in post game press conference. But it seems they are making too big a deal of this. Just move on.

                            • I hear people saying that coaches are to be held to a higher standard. Well, in this case I see a coach very happy and excited by a big come from behind win. Next I see a coach aggressively chase down another coach. Harbaugh did nothing aggressive until Schwartz came after him. I'm placing blame on this one squarely in Schwartz's corner and I hope if they play again in the playoffs that Harbaugh just leaves the field rathar than acknowledge him in anyway, regardless of the outcome of the game.

                              • My view: Harbaugh was certainly over the top in his exuberance but, obscenity or no, Schwartz went ballistic out of proportion to any perceived offense.
