After having his reputation damaged, Harbaugh immediately defended himself on his radio show Monday night. In the opening segment, he stated with authority that he did not eat a booger over the weekend. In fact, he said he’s never consumed a booger in his life.
“It might have looked like that was happening. But if you rub your nose and then you bite your fingernail, that’s not eating a booger. There was no booger eaten,” Harbaugh said, via the Detroit Free Press. “For clarity here, for the record, I have never eaten a booger in my entire life.”
Is Harbaugh telling the truth? Let’s slow down the footage:
It sure looks like Harbaugh got his thumb inside of his nostril, which would contradict Harbaugh’s statement of rubbing his nose. This was definitely a dig, but the question at hand is did he scrap anything along on his way out?
Brother John even chimed in
We need indisputable video evidence in order to make a conclusive decision, which is not something we have here. Harbaugh keeps his thumb close to his hand, which prohibits us from seeing any boogers.
Final verdict: Inconclusive.
