Dear John Harbaugh: How many of the lies do you think we believe?

Making commercials when you win; hiding without accountability or the expectation of it when you lose. And, lately, you lose far too much…and hide far too frequently. And that starts with your owner and oozes into your locker room. And manifests with wealthy, entitled players hiding in defeat. It’s beyond a “bad look.” It’s what losers do – and true champions would never even consider. Accountability is optional for the Baltimore Ravens but the scoreboard and standings don’t lie.
