"Eric’s way  more excited than I am," Curry said. "I’m excited, and he’s like over-the-mountain excited. He’s like, I mean, ‘When can I come up? Where can I stay? I’ll be there tomorrow.

"I didn’t expect an obscenity at that point. Obviously, when you win a game like that, you are excited, but there is a protocol that goes with this league." Harbaugh took the blame after the game. "That’s totally on me," Harbaugh said. "I shook his hand too hard."

Quinton Coples (DE, North Carolina) vs Miami " Seahawks Draft Blog - Last week I argued that Quinton Coples (DE, UNC) was over rated. He’s universally graded as a top ten pick, something I cannot agree with. What position will he play at the next level?
