Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh ripped CBS radio host Jim Rome on Twitter Wednesday, Aug. 17, after Rome criticized him on his show a day earlier.
Harbaugh abruptly ended a press conference at the beginning of the week with reporters. He didn’t like being asked about two freshman players being suspended and walked out of the press conference, according to NFL.com. The suspended players also failed to appear in a team photo and the reporters asked Harbuagh about that as well.
"That's why I don't give you any information because you're never satisfied," Harbaugh said. "You always want a second question, a third question, a fourth question. I just said we'd handle it internally. Thank you."
Later on his radio program, Rome criticized Harbaugh for not answering the questions.
"They're never satisfied or you never answer a question?” Rome said. “What's your deal? You suspended the players? Who are they and what did they do to get suspended? I know you think that everybody is the enemy, especially the media, but these reporters are not trying to crack into the mainframe or steal your playbook ... they're doing their job. Maybe you forgot over the summer that it's their job to cover your team, not ask you what your favorite 'Drake' album is.”
Harbaugh responded on Wednesday via Twitter, posting a 1994 TV interview where Rome was attacked by former NFL quarterback Jim Everett, saying, “Do you remember the provocateur who went personal with another Big 10 QB and had the tables turned on him? #déjàvu,“

Rome responded with the score of Michigan’s loss to Ohio State last season, saying, “Roasted! Damn, you got me good. Like 42-13 good.’
