Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh privately vowed to help Nestor Aparicio with his media credential bullying situation with Chad Steele in any way he could.

/

Back in 2016 when Mike Tomlin joined John Harbaugh and Brian Billick on stage in downtown Baltimore for “A Night of Heroes” and Super Bowl championship stories of leadership, the future Hall of Fame Pittsburgh Steelers head coach had some pointed (yet comedic) words for Nestor Aparicio and self-hatred.

Metcalf in Cleveland. Nothing makes sense. But here’s what we do know…
