In Jim Harbaugh, Seattle has a true sports nemesis - Blog - MyNorthwest.com
I laughed when Golden Tate told "Bob and Groz" he wouldn't mind putting a dent in Jim Harbaugh. This was not the most mature reaction, and not something that I'm necessarily proud of, but it was undeniable and even now, as the Seahawks are earning a national reputation for popping off about an opposing coach, I find myself not just entertained by it, but truly excited.

"He would alienate the other kids, so I was really the only friend he had," his brother, John, said in 2011. "We joke that dad's profession was the perfect profession for Jim, because after two years, he'd be like, `It's time to move, dad. I've lost all my friends.' We were in Iowa one time and dad felt bad because we were leaving for Michigan. He tried to break it to us, and Jim goes, `Just in time, dad. I just ran out of my last friend.'"

73-Day NFL Warning: Steven Jackson Plays for a Contender - The Triangle Blog - Grantland
Back in December, when Steven Jackson became just the 26th member of the 10,000-yard club, my reaction was somewhat celebratory, but mostly, I was just depressed.

It might be too late to get those years back, but it’s not too late to see what even a lesser Jackson can do in the right situation.
