Jim Harbaugh has split loyalties for Super Bowl
NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.

After graduating from UM, Jim Harbaugh has managed to play for the Bears and the Colts during his pro career. So who does he root for now?
To make things more confusing, he also played for the Chargers and the Ravens. Must have been a difficult time in the playoffs with all four of those teams playing. Just who do Harbaugh want to win?

”I still think about that play a lot,” said Harbaugh, who was hired as Stanford’s head coach on Dec.18. ”Walking off that field, you think to yourself, ‘There will be other days.’ But that was the only day. source
So who does he root for?
”Right now, yeah, I hope Indy finds a way to win,” Harbaugh said Monday. ”But that could easily change as I’m watching the game and see who’s the more deserving team. It really comes down to rooting for the team that plays the hardest.

”The best thing he has going is he has the emotional toughness you have to have to play quarterback in Chicago,” Harbaugh said. ”It’s not always about being pretty. Sometimes with the weather and wind swirls, the numbers won’t always look good on paper.”
So there you have it, the new young coach of the Stanford Cardinals is rooting for the team that deserves to win! And that team would be…
