I was not surprised to see a Tragically Hip reference in Brian's preview. Wasn't expecting whole paragraphs tho

Harbaugh on Colin Kaepernick: "I acknowledge his right to do that but I don't respect the motivation or the action."

and this is where it hurts having a coach with Asperger's

he walked it back right after, but the look is not great

Yeah not a great look but when you watch the video it's clear he just wasn't real comfortable with how to respond. I think it came out differently than what he meant. He should have just passed on the question.

i don't get why he didn't just do that either, it's not like he was a fountain of information for any of the questions prior to that one

Is the problem that he said it or that he believes it?

Well the root of the problem is that he's an extremely brainwashed privileged white male.

Wolverine Brewing Thursday for the mgoblog preview. BE THERE

Has anyone decommitted over it yet?

No?

Alright then.

tbh I wouldn't give a damn either way, this is a stupid "issue" that's going away as soon as anything happens in the world.

yeah i'm skeptical of any long lasting impact of this. like:

JAMES FRANKLIN: Harbaugh is a racist who doesn't care about your son
PARENT: oh wow

followed by

HARBAUGH: I'd like you to meet Ty Wheatley and Brian Smith, both of whom will tell you how much I care about our players

Offended by questions about suspended players

Lets it rip on racially polarizing protest

Cmon Jimmy

Autism speaks, listen.

Gonna give Jimmy Ballgame the Asperger's symptoms test to get to the bottom of this once and for all. I'll check in in a few with results.

1. Difficulty creating friendships

Well, considering the hand shake with Schwartz. The turmoil he creates at whatever job he has, and a team like the 49ers who stuck gold to land him, being incredibly willing to part ways with him, I would have to check yes for this box. I'd say our savior does indeed have a difficult time creating friendships.

1/1

2. Bad Motor Skills

HARBAUGH was able to play football at the NFL level, at QB. I don't think this can be done with bad motor skills. I also have no idea how this could make the list of symptoms, but hey, our savior is now shooting 50% in his efforts to fade aspergers. This box is a firm check in the no category.

1/2

3. Good pattern recognition

From how organized practices are, right down to the players receiving grades on a per practice basis, I think one can assume that BALLGAME is probably good at pattern recognition. 2/3 in the Asperger diagnosis.

4. Taking things literally

He actually asked Colin Cowherd is he has any eligibility left when Colin said he's a stud player looking to make a decision on where to go play football. Also, being unable to understand sarcasm. Our savior is now

3/4

5. Routine

Many people with Asperger's love routine and don't like straying from it. Without question this box has a big X.

4/5

6. Focusing on only one interest

lmfao..... 5/6

7. General awkwardness in public

lmfao..... 6/7

8. Silence

During interviews there's always the awkward silence, where the interviewer doesn't know if Harbaugh is done answering the previous question, so they're unsure sometimes if they should be asking the next one already or not. The flip side is Harbaugh loves attention and is very vocal about certain things. This one is a toss up, ill give him half points here.

6.5/8

9. Difficulty empathizing

With his comments on Kap's sitting for the national anthem, I'd say that this is likely true. This one is tough, one where we have to make a judgement call because we don't have a ton of data to help us. I say the box is checked.

7.5/9

10. Difficulty making eye contact

From everything that I have seen, it doesn't appear HARBAUGH has trouble making eye contact. Again, not a ton of info to go on, actually none if you think about it. But hey, I'll give him credit. Bo probably taught him that to be a leader of men, you have to look them in the eye.

Final score, 7.5/10

Does our savior have Asperger's? This symptoms game might leave us with more questions than answers. Tune in next week.

Love it!

TE preview on mgoblog has me GIDDY

So basically our entire season comes down to a freshman LT? At least he has 8 warm up games

Nightmares about McDowell vs Newsome or Bredeson

Practice reports make it seem like Bredeson is just a monster. Freshmen are freshmen, but apparently he plays with a real edge.

Take HawIi & the points. Spread is ridiculous for a team with 1 game of experience up.

Slightly concerning to read that Braden and Kalis may be a bit dinged. Kugler possibly starts at guard?

Hawaii does feel free

Brady getting the honorary captain treatment vs COL 👍🏼

I assume a haircut prior is part of the deal.
