Two weeks and counting for the HarBowl hype

John used to share a room with his brother Jim and, like many siblings, they would place tape down the middle of the room to claim their turf.

Their story has already been told. And told. And told.

“Every story has been told,” he told reporters Monday.

“We're not that interesting. There's nothing more to learn. The tape across the middle of the room story, OK, you got it? It's OK.

“It was just like any other family, really.”

Baltimore shocked the New England Patriots 28-13 on Sunday to win the AFC and reach the Super Bowl, while the San Francisco 49ers, coached by Jim Harbaugh, edged the Atlanta Falcons 28-24 in the NFC to set up a HarBowl on Feb. 3 in New Orleans.

The brothers have already squared off in the regular season, U.S. Thanksgiving 2011, when the Ravens defeated the 49ers 16-6 at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

John Harbaugh, 50 years old and 15 months older than Jim, is hoping the spotlight of the Super Bowl would not be on the coaches.

“I really hope the focus is not so much on that,” he said. “We get it, it's really cool and it's exciting and all that. But it's really about the team, about the players, about the guys you're talking about.
