AFJF Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/cbs-mistakenly-broadcats-ravens-harbaugh-ripping-steelers-article-1.2004852 John Harbaugh’s smack talk on the Steelers wasn’t supposed to see the light of day. A week after the Ravens were pummeled by their rival by 20 points, each team’s fortunes were reversed on Sunday, and it had Harbaugh all fired up as he ripped Pittsburgh, but the comments, intended for the team only, were broadcast on television against the coach’s wishes. “That team beat us last week, OK? Then they went and got their asses kicked this week,” Harbaugh told his team after it beat Tennessee, 21-7, and the Steelers lost to the Jets, 20-13. He thought those specific comments would be kept in-house, though he allowed CBS television cameras in the locker room to record other parts of his postgame talk. Before his Steelers comment, he told CBS it couldn’t air what he was about to say, but CBS did so anyway. The Ravens later released a statement explaining the condition Harbaugh gave to the CBS crew. “The comments made by John Harbaugh in the locker room following (Sunday’s) victory over the Titans were meant for Ravens players and coaches only,” the statement said. “The CBS-TV crew that was in the locker room was told by Coach Harbaugh that it could not broadcast what he was about to say. When coach Harbaugh finished talking about various things happening around the NFL and in the AFC North, he told the crew that it could now use what he was going to say. Inexplicably, CBS-TV then aired comments Coach Harbaugh specifically said were not to leave the locker room. CBS-TV immediately pulled the video and apologized to the Ravens.” CBS confirmed the apology in its own statement, according to the Baltimore Sun. “We broadcast a clip during our postgame show that should not have aired,” it said. “We immediately pulled it down and called the Baltimore Ravens to apologize.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freemanm Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 CBS owes no apology. Harbaugh shouldn't have allowed cameras into the locker room at all, or should have saved that comment for practice this week. If I were at CBS, why wouldn't I broadcast that comment?

Smashmouth Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 title to this thread (very misleading) needs to be changed since Harbaugh made no Ill reference to or about the NY Jets at all. All he said was they (Steelers) went out and got their asses kicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
