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.

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.
