John Harbaugh berates sideline reporter at halftime
By Nicholas Goss
John Harbaugh failed to act in a professional manner in a halftime interview with a sideline reporter during Saturday night’s preseason game against the Washington Redskins.
Harbaugh refused to answer a question about a fight that happened between the teams in the first quarter and only wanted football questions. When the reporter asked him two good questions about the game, Harbaugh acted in a disrespectful manner.

Harbaugh did have reason to be angry. His team was playing poorly with bad fundamental mistakes and too many penalties. Still, there was no reason to be disrespectful to this reporter.
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick receives a lot of criticism for giving boring, non-informative answers to the media, but he’s not rude like Harbaugh was in this interview.
