Get ready for NFC West Fireworks

No, I'm not talking about the playoff game. If there are fireworks it will be the New Orleans offense torching Seattle off their home field.

No I'm talking about next season. You see, the joke of the NFL will have some drama next season that's not related to two sub-.500 teams "competing" for the divsion title.

Jim Harbaugh has agreed to take the San Francisco 49ers job. Harbaugh's a fiery guy, sometimes a little rough around the edges. How rough? Put it this way, eternally positive Pete Carroll has a problem with him. Why? See below.



"What's your deal?" was referencing Harbaugh's decision to go for 2 when Stanford scored to make it 48-21 with 6:47 left in a Nov. 14, 2009 game. Stanford didn't get it, and later scored again to make it a 55-21 final. You just saw the postgame handshake. When asked later why he did this in a televised interview on ESPN's College Gameday program, Harbaugh noticeably bristled, and basically clammed up until the interviewer moved on to other topics.

Now they get to face each other twice a year. Should be fun.
