This is shaping up to be a pretty dramatic Super Bowl. Two brothers going at it for a chance at history. The last game ever for an NFL icon. The hopes of honoring a deceased owner with a championship ring. The emotions are running high and that means possibly more Harbaugh freak outs. Jim Harbaugh's reaction to a bad call was one of the more memorable moments in an enjoyable AFC/NFC Championship Weekend. We saw struggle faces, sonnings, and damn-you-got-jacked-son moments. Here they are captured in GIFs.
