The Super Bowl is still more than a week away, but Ravens coach John Harbaugh has the first score.

During a national conference call with Jack and Jackie Harbaugh (the parents of the two Super Bowl coaches, in case you haven’t heard), John snuck onto the call, identified himself as “John from Baltimore” and asked his mom a loaded question.

Is it true that both of you liked Jim better than John?” the Ravens coach asked, via the San Jose Mercury News.

His sister, Joani Crean (the wife of Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean, in case you haven’t heard) recognized his voice and ratted him out before laughter ensued.

We’d go on, but there’s still plenty of time to milk this story, and like everyone else, we intend to.
