On Sunday, Feb. 3, coaches Jim and John Harbaugh will lead their teams out onto the field for Super Bowl XLVII at the Superdome in New Orleans. It's the first time in professional sports history that two brothers will face each other as head coaches in a championship game. Jim is the fiery leader of the NFC's San Francisco 49ers, and John is the calming presence on the sideline for the AFC's Baltimore Ravens. But you likely already knew what teams the two brothers coach for. What else do you know? Take the quiz to see how well you know your Harbaughs.

I'm sure John Harbaugh had a lot to do with that decision. Complain to the owner, not on a newspaper website comment section! Should they all go, certainly! As well as the band! But the conparison between leaving the newer cheerleaders home and leaving players like Torrey Smith and Berard Pierce home is idiotic!

How Fair is it the Ravens Organization, has decided to divide the Cheerleaders, and only take those with 3+ years to attend the Super Bowl...

Is The Front Office All Going??? Are All Players Going??

Seems Really fair, when these young women, cheered THEIR Team on....I think maybe the ravens need to take a look at the 49's, ALL OF THEIR Cheereleaders are going!!

SHAMEFUL.....SHAME ON YOU RAVENS ORGANIZATION!!! SHAME ON YOU!!!

SUPERBOWL QUIZ: Which Harbaugh brother considers ALL of its cheerleading squad to be part of the team? ANSWER: It's NOT the Ravens one! The Ravens Harbaugh promises they all will go - All or Nothing - was quoted to the cheerleaders - but then when the team makes it announces that only those with 3+ years are invited.. By that standard the team should leave Torey Smith, Bernard Pierce, Kelethi Osemele, and Justin Tucker back in Baltimore . If you think for a minute that the men and women athletes on the sideline don't put butts in the seats on Sundays you are foolish. KUDOS TO THE SAN FRAN HARBAUGH organization who sees to it that ALL of its cheerleaders not only go to this big game, but that they all get a ring for the team's accomplishment. SHAME on you RAVENS!!!

Which Harbaugh considers the organization's cheerleaders to be part of their team. NOT the Baltimore Ravens one, for sure. Not enough room on the chartered plane. How about chartering another using the funds that these athletes add to the Ravens' bottom line through their REQUIRED sales of Ravens merchandise. Classless move. Do the right thing!
