Pete Carroll Compliments Jim Harbaugh

This is one of my favorite rivalries in the league right now. Carroll is not allowed to put ice on the situation.

Here is Pete complimenting the 49ers:

“They’re a great program,” Carroll said of the 49ers. “They’ve done a marvelous job since Jim took over and they’ve done it all on the field. We respect that our division has really changed, we’ve changed along with it, and every single game we play is the biggest rival that we would ever know. . . . They’ve done some really cool things and play exciting football, and we love matching up with the division.”

Umm. Jim Harbaugh calls out the Seahawks for cheating. Brandon Browner says that he would like to choke Harbaugh out and Carroll says that he Harbaugh has done a marvelous job?

He must be buttering him up for something. Or he is taking the classy route because Harbaugh will eventually put his foot in his mouth without any antagonizing.

I can’t wait till the two teams matchup against each other this season. The bad blood is brewing and the matchup should be heated.
