Harbaugh to Coach In Costume Sunday

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Quote the Raven, "NEVER MORE!" Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh will be allowed to wear a Raven costume on the sideline during this weekend’s game against the Cleveland Browns, an NFL spokesman said today. “We’ve agreed to coach Harbaugh’s request,” said Brian McCarthy, the NFL’s director of communications. “He told us he was looking to wear his special outfit for both games against the Browns, as a way to mess with expansion team from Cleveland.” McCarthy emphasized that it is the NFL that determines the policy for what coaches can wear on the sideline, not any of the clothing suppliers the league works with. “We approved the sleeveless hoodie look that Bill Belichick likes, as well as the girdle and lingerie that Mike Tomlin prefers,” McCarthy said. According to the NFL, Commissioner Goodell took a hard look at this request and he supports Harbaugh’s desire to taunt the Browns and show his Raven spirit. However, Goodell ruled that the coach would not be permitted to hold a sign during the game that said “Thanks for the Super Bowl, Modell.” Apparently he thought that would be a little much. The Browns visit Baltimore on Sunday.
