Ravens complain about CBS airing Harbaugh’s speech

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh’s postgame locker room comments on Sunday about the Pittsburgh Steelers losing to the New York Jets mistakenly aired on CBS, and the television network immediately pulled the video and apologized.

As the Ravens celebrated a 21-7 win over the Tennessee Titans, Harbaugh was shown by CBS cameras in the locker room telling his players, “That team beat us last week and then went and got their a– kicked this week.”

The Steelers routed the Ravens 43-23 the previous week and then were upset by the Jets 20-13 on Sunday.

Ravens senior vice president of public and community relations Kevin Byrne released a statement indicating the team’s dissatisfaction with CBS Sports.

“The comments made by John Harbaugh in the locker room following today’s victory over the Titans were meant for Ravens players and coaches only,” the team statement said. “The CBS-TV crew that was in the locker room was told by Coach Harbaugh that it could not broadcast what he was about to say. When Coach Harbaugh finished talking about various things happening around the NFL and in the AFC North, he told the crew that it could now use what he was going to say. Inexplicably, CBS-TV then aired comments Coach Harbaugh specifically said were not to leave the locker room. CBS-TV immediately pulled the video and apologized to the Ravens.”

CBS acknowledged the clip shouldn’t have aired.

“We broadcast a clip during our postgame show that should not have aired. We immediately pulled it down and called the Baltimore Ravens to apologize,” the CBS statement said.
