00:00Jim Harbaugh has absolutely reached top shelf level status on coast to coast, there's no

00:08question about that.

00:09And how could he not?

00:11With some of the press conferences and postgame locker room celebrations that he's had, there's

00:16really nobody unequaled right now at this point.

00:19Here he is talking about, of course, the Chargers are starting to get pumped up a little bit.

00:24They've been on a roll.

00:25They've got the Harbaugh Bowl against the Ravens coming up on Monday night.

01:23come from the media, could come from your teammates, could come from friends, could

01:28come from your own family.
