Everyone and their brother has taken note of the fact that the upcoming Super Bowl is the first time siblings have met each other as opposing head coaches, but John and Jim Harbaugh are not the only noteworthy coincidence of Super Bowl XLVII . . . even more improbably, both participating teams hail from a city with a fantastic harbor: according to Wikipedia, The Port of San Francisco is "one of the three great natural harbors in the world" and, if you believe the much venerated Urban Land Institute, then the Inner Harbor of Baltimore is "the model for post-industrial waterfront redevelopment around the world" . . . and not only that, but the name "Harbaugh" sounds a lot like the word "harbor" . . . and so I will deem this a minor miracle, as you couldn't make this stuff up if you tried (and I wonder if Dwayne Nelson could use the harbor statistics in his foolproof NFL betting system).

I enjoy watching the Super Bowl despite the fact that I can't relate to any of the characters and most of them annoy me.
said like a true buffalo fan.
Dwyane Wade's mom spelled his name wrong. So depending one one's perspective, you either spelled it wrong or corrected a historical error.
I'm talking about dwayne wayne from "what's happening"?
you need to catch up on G:tb.
You mean "A Different World"?
Wade Boggs?
Dwayne Nelson is from "What's Happenning!!!" He was played by Haywood Nelson.
Dwayne Wayne is from "A Different World." He was played by Kadeem Hardison.
Dwyane Wade is on the Heat. He spells his name funny.
Wade Boggs was on the Red Sox. He had a mustache, which is funny.
Wade Phillips coached the Bills. He makes Zman curse, which is funny.
My freshman roommate was Doug Nelson, who would often say, "Haywood you Phillip my beer and throw me m'stash? This whole getting off the couch and going to class thing is a different world! What's happening?"
Which was funny until the school made him leave after one year. That sucked.
damn -- i got my dwaynes mixed up!
Hey HEY hey! Haywood.
nice mnemonic.
The New Orleans Hornets have changed their name to the Pelicans.
i need to get some gear.
