The San Francisco 49ers have finally gotten their guy.
The 49ers have scheduled a 6:30 p.m. ET Friday news conference to announce they’ve hired Stanford’s Jim Harbaugh as their next head coach.
I wonder who the Browns will hire for their next head coach? And how many have they gone throuugh since they've been back?

Its a risky gamble that can pay off big, or slip the 49ers further into irrelevance.
Still can't blame Harbaugh. Could you turn down $25 million and not have to move out of your house? Dolphins offered more but he'd be in the same division as Belichick and Brady, and Rex Ryan. 49ers are in an easy division and they have 22 draft picks in the next few years. Plus they were close to where all of his coaching jobs have been. San Diego St, Oakland, Stanford, San Fransisco. I think he will do pretty well, maybe even back into the playoffs next year. 49ers desperately need a QB though.

What is it about the whole Jets organization that just screams out "no class"? They have none, Mark. And beating a nearly crippled Colts team by one point (and if not for that mind numbingly stupid running into the kicker, the Colts would have won the game) means nothing. If the Pats don't win by at least three touchdowns this Sunday, I'll be SHOCKED. Brady and Belichick are going to run this one up. You can take that to the bank.

Updated Jan 14, 2011 10:50 PM ET If you want to show your team spirit at this school, it had better be the right team.
A Washington state schoolboy was sent home Friday after wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey on a specially designated day of support for the local Seattle Seahawks, according to a report.
Grendon Bailie, a 13-year-old at Tacoma's Truman Middle School, was sent home Friday for what school administrators deemed inappropriate clothing, Seattle's komonews.com reported.
The school has a strict dress code and said it had lifted it that day only for Seahawks apparel or colors. The school had also specifically warned students not to wear anything besides their uniforms or Seahawks garb, and Bailie even asked if it was acceptable to wear Steelers gear but was told no, the report said.

After the Bears destroy the Seahawks tomorrow, the school can go back to their starched brown shirt uniforms and goose stepping through the halls on Monday. Middle school is exactly the age/time that kids to start rebelling, come on give me a break!  PS - I wouldn't be surprised if it was a stunt for the kid's family to get some Steelers tickets/gear. Smart move,kid!

Very nice post, Lilo. I've been watching the Steeler/Raven rivalry grow over the past several years, and it has become the fiercest in the sport. They have been the best, most physical defenses this decade, and their regular season matchups and postseason games are almost always classics.
I agree that Tomlin outcoached Harbaugh, but even with a fourteen point lead, I didn't think that the Ravens had the game under control as the lead resulted from weird circumstances. Baltimore didn't really move the ball easily in the first half and managed only 28 yards in the second half. For them to win the game they would have needed another crazy play or two.
And, yes, Roethlisberger is an amazing competitor, who'll do whatever it takes to win. His offensive line has provided substandard protection for the past three seasons, but he consistently sheds tackles, extends plays, and comes up big in the fourth quarter. He is certainly a big game player.
You raise an interesting point about getting the league to return to a running oriented game. I'm not sure if you're old enough to remember the NFL in the 70s, but the great qbs of the era - Staubach, Bradshaw, Stabler, Tarkenton - all were capable of scrambling and picking up yards on their own or throwing on the run. This was necessary because offensive linemen couldn't extend their arms in peass protection, defensive linemen could head slap the o-line and cornerbacks could hit receivers all the way down the field. At the end of the decade the league sought to assist the passing game by enacting the Mel Blount riule, and liberalizing pass protection. It was no coincidence that the West Coast offense was immediately born as it could not havesucceeded in the prior decade. Star qbs of today, namely Brady and Peyton Manning, would not nearly be as successful under the 70s rules as they are today as they are not very mobile and are vulnerable out of the pocket.
