Kinda sorta a thread jack, but this is similar and isn't thread worthy on its own.  Some ESPN studio host interviewed Harbaugh, although it wasn't very noteworthy on its own.  Couple of quotes, though:  host asked how much fun it was coaching this team, Harbaugh: 'it's great, it's like watching dolphins swim - everybody is together and playing and just having fun, there's no struggling in the water'.  LOL - he compared his team to dolphins!

The host also asked which group was killing it (or something like that), and Harbaugh named of s number of position groups and was still going when the host cut him off, saying 'you didn't name yourself in there'.  Harbaugh's answer was perfect: 'well, I don't block or tackle anyone, I get to just sit back and watch the fun.  If it goes bad, that's my fault because I have to get them ready, and if its wrong I didn't do that.'  Once again, he's taking blame and giving credit - which is what great leaders do.

It was such a simple interview with no groundbreaking stuff, but it shows what he is as a coach.  And that's more than most any other coach in the business.

Yes, and I love it. Lots of sports games that are not on anywhere else. Full access to their 30 for 30 library, and good content on the website.  I generally think ESPN does a great job covering things, they just don’t talk about things not on their network family.

The best part of ESPN+ is the additional NHL and college sports games that you get.  Not really for Michigan or Red Wings games, but out of market NHL games and non-P5 football and basketball.   I know people find their editorial and pro-SEC approach distasteful, but they are a good source for additional live sports.

Say what you will about having to listen to their blatant SEC bias, but some of their original programming is really stinking good. I love a lot of the 30 for 30s, and the Derek Jeter “Captain” series has been great.

I’m never going to listen to Finebaum or Stephen A, but they’ve got some really good original content that is worth paying for.

They’re lucky to keep their doors open with the worthless regurgitated free shit let alone charging for info I can get off a dozen other sites.
