The Baltimore Ravens played poorly against the Washington Redskins on Saturday night, and John Harbaugh decided to take out his frustrations on pretty much everyone.
It all started when a fight broke out in the first quarter, and Harbaugh walked over to Redskins coach Jay Gruden and screamed in his face. When asked about the incident at halftime, Harbaugh was in no mood to discuss it.
“I have nothing to say about that, Brent,” the Ravens coach told Brent Harris of Comcast SportsNet. “If you want to talk football I’m happy to talk football with you.”

Harris then switched the conversation to the play on the field, but Harbaugh didn’t like being asked about his team fumbling at the end of the half and missing an opportunity. All he said about that was, “You don’t want to fumble the ball.” Harris finally asked about Baltimore’s defense giving up a touchdown in the two-minute drill to close out the half.
“We don’t want to give up touchdowns in the two-minute at the end,” Harbaugh said. “Gimme a good question and I’ll answer it.”
Harbaugh and Harris shared an icy stare after that as Harbaugh made his way to the locker room.
When you watch the dirty tackle that started the fight in the first half, you can understand why Harbaugh was upset. That said, Harris asked perfectly fair questions in what is typically a quick and easy on-field interview. Harbaugh managed to turn it into pulling teeth.
