What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJohn Harbaugh coached the Ravens for eighteen seasons, got fired, and now says the Giants helped him rediscover his coaching mojo, the New York Post reports.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWe don't say fired. We say Baltimore completed his eighteen-season listening tour, twelve playoff stops, one Super Bowl, and a relocation.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Post says the old routine was optimism, hard practices and Winston Churchill quotes. It had become been-there, done-that, because it had to.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the Churchill quotes stayed the same. The audience changed. That's called a refresh of the listening base.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Giants flew him in on co-owner Steve Tisch's private plane, and he had dinner at Elia Mediterranean Restaurant near the team facility.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA plane and a dinner. Hank, you're tearing up.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'm not. It's the Mediterranean food. He sat down with young quarterback Jaxson Dart and it was a nice dinner, that's all.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt says people can start over in a new building and the same speeches suddenly land.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Giants had five head coaches in that time, and now they have one who's happy.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNobody's flown me anywhere for my old material. I get a bus.
