Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is still ticked off at the Chicago Bears for the failed trade in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. As it says in the story on NFL.com, he just "won't let sleeping Bears lie,"about the fiasco that culminated in the Ravens being passed over by the Kansas City Chiefs after they thought they had a trade with the Bears to drop back and getadditional picks. The full radio dialogue with these and other comments from Harbaugh is posted on Sports Radio Interviews.
Interesting thing about his willingness to level accusations at the Bears was that he was being interviewed on a Chicago radio station at the time. The Ravens were supposed to be sending their 26th pick in the first round to the Bears in exchange for their 29th selection and a fourth round pick. The Bears wanted Wisconsin offensive lineman Gabe Carimi, while the Ravens stated they still thought they could take Colorado cornerback Jimmy Smith at the later pick in the first round.
Luckily, when the Chiefs bypassed the Ravens, they didn't take Smithand both teams ended up with the guys they wanted in the first place. However, Baltimore missed out on garnering an extra draft pick in round four, and Harbaugh is not buying the Bears comment that they just made a mistake, inferring Chicago purposely held up the trade and lied.
At least these two teams don't meet in 2011, so no bulletin board material for either team. Move along people, there's nothing else to see here....
I'm getting to that age where a lifetime warranty just doesn't mean as much to me anymore as an afternoon nap.

"Move along people there's nothing to see here" is the perfect response. Mine was similar; "Damn John, get over it already". It's a done deal and whether or not you accept that it was an error on the Bears part makes no difference to anyone but you. The NFL accepts that it was so "no harm, no foul". Give it a rest will ya'?

Hey John... the NFL looked into it... they said STFU and quit bein a cry baby. had it gone down like you said, we'd have coughed up the pick and the NFL would have seen that it happend.
had the shoe been on the other foot, and the NFL said... hey John... give it to them, don't give it to them... it was an accident and shit happens.... you think for ONE second your not gonna keep that pick?... bitch please.

Every once in a while Jerry Angelo does something amazing like landing Jay Cutler or Peppers, drafting an actual impact player and now screwing up a different teams draft picks. lol

It's amazing to me that the Ravens are still bitching about it. What happened, happened, and the who's, why's and wherefore's, are all in the past. If they think that Angelo pulled something over on them then the solution is not to do business with him anymore but to accuse him of intentionally cheating after the league said that's not what happened is pretty sad. Maybe the NFL should be looking into Harbaugh's comments about another team and let him know that his statements were not in the best interests of the NFL and fine his ass he opens his mouth about it again. Let's move on!

Yeah I know and almost 3 months after the fact. You'd think John Harbaugh had more on his mind to worry about than that.

I would have figured that he would still be crying over all the beat downs the Ravens take at the hands of the Steelers.
