Jim Harbaugh: Devout ‘Judge Judy’ Fan By Day, Heroic Good Samaritan By Night

JimmyUniversity of Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh stopped and assisted two patients after a rollover crash on I-94 Tuesday afternoon.

U-M Athletic Department spokesman Dave Ablauf said that according to a police report from the Michigan State Police Harbaugh and another staff member from the football program stopped to assist two passengers of a car that crashed at approximately 2:40 p.m.

According the MSP release, the 53-year-old woman driving the car was wearing her seatbelt but was partially ejected from the vehicle. A 73-year-old woman was in the passenger seat and was also wearing her seatbelt. Both patients were transported to St. Joseph Mercy Hospital by Huron Valley Ambulance Service, spokeswoman Joyce Williams said.

The crash was one of 50 that HVA responded to between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Tuesday after a morning snow and ice storm left streets and highways in poor condition throughout Southeast Michigan.

Ablauf said Harbaugh and Jim Minick administered first aid to both individuals and kept them warm with coats until the emergency medical personnel arrived.

God damnit do I miss this lunatic. We’re barely into the NFL offseason yet I already miss his musk with the sadness of a thousand suns. I know that doesn’t make sense, but Jim Harbaugh is one of those rare creatures that pass through your life that you just have to stare at in amazement. When he’s not congratulating Judge Judy on her contract extension on Twitter, he’s giving aid to old ladies that got into a car accident. He is a man amongst men, a good guy, and one hell of a football coach. The 49er faithful will continue to miss him every damn day.

The 49ers & Jim Harbaugh Have Officially Parted Ways, And I’m Officially Living In A Glass Case Of Emotion

This one hurts. Jim Harbaugh, the human shooting star, is leaving 49er nation just as crazily as he entered it. Here are the facts: the 49ers were not a good football team when Jim Harbaugh took over in 2011. From 2003 (the year after they lost in the divisional round) to 2010, the 49ers won 46 games under 4 different head coaches and didn’t make the playoffs a single season. Under Harbaugh, from 2011 through this season, the 49ers won 49 games while playing in three consecutive conference championship games, including one Super Bowl. If wins aren’t that important to you, then just look at how the culture of the 49ers has changed: they went from a bad team in a terrible division to a tough, gritty, stud team in arguably the best division in football. Any way you slice it, Jim Harbaugh came in and single handedly turned the 49ers franchise around. It was clear the front office was pushing Harbaugh out the door, especially since this was the vibe in the locker room after the 49ers win yesterday:

Sure doesn’t sound like a team that has turned on it’s head coach. You can say what you want about Harbaugh being too animated, or about how his personality offends people, but that’s all bullshit. Give me a guy who gets the most out of his players and who WINS, and I’ll take him every day of the week. Now Harbaugh is off to Michigan, and the 49ers are searching for their new head coach. Whoever they end up with will most definitely be a step down from Harbaugh. Hit the music.

Michigan State Completely Bogarting Daniel Bryan’s “YES” Chant

I love the chant! I don’t love that ESPN is claiming they started it!

Give credit where credit is due or else D. Bryan is going to have you tapping out faster than you can say “Peanut Butter”.

So Much For Dollys Escape From Detroit

n-LLAMA-large570

HOLLY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A llama spotted wandering for nearly six months in Michigan has been captured and is getting a new home.Mlive.com reports (http://bit.ly/I8wtPD ) the llama that Kathy Kuzma calls “Dolly” was found Saturday in Oakland County’s Holly Township, about 40 miles northwest of Detroit.Kuzma has been on the lookout for the animal, which had been wandering her neighborhood. On Saturday, Lisa Davenport came to Kuzma’s house to get a look at the llama. Davenport has three llamas of her own along with other animals at a Michigan farm.

The women walked into a field to give the llama some food, and Dolly stood still instead of being her usual skittish self. They then coaxed the llama into a barn.

Davenport plans to take the llama back to her own farm. – Huff Post

So much for that, Dolly. I was really pulling for you too. It’s a shame that your sense of direction isn’t better because all you needed to do was go north and you would have escaped. See, I know what Dolly was after…freedom. Freedom from the armpit of America: Detroit. And even though her farm might not be in the city limits, just being that close to hell would be enough to make a sane llama lose her shit. If it wasn’t for your love of food you might still be on the run. Use that as motivation next time you run away.

The Ohio State Marching Band is the Most Impressive Group of Human Beings I Have Ever Seen

If you are not impressed by this then I feel bad for you. This has to be one of the most impressive sights I have ever seen. Not only can the Ohio State marching band play their instruments and march extremely well, but they can make intricate pictures on the field…that move! I have seen this routine many times, but never as flawless as this. If you’re strapped for time and can’t watch the whole thing (But I suggest you eventually watch the entire thing), skip to 7:20 to experience greatness.
