William Shakespeare wrote in "The Tempest" that, "Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows."
It's certainly not an uncommon notion in the ever-volatile NFL, either.
Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti was in the middle of a previously scheduled news conference Tuesday afternoon to discuss his firing last week of coach John Harbaugh after 18 seasons and one Super Bowl victory. As he was answering questions about Harbaugh and looking to the future, Bisciotti was informed that Baltimore's archrival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, were in need of a coach of their own after Mike Tomlin, the only coach in the league with a longer tenure than Harbaugh just a week ago, decided to step down Tuesday.
A stunned Bisciotti then entertained the notion of a Harbaugh-for-Tomlin exchange in real time.
"Holy (expletive)," laughed Bisciotti, who's been the Ravens' majority owner for more than two decades.
