Jim Harbaugh is, undeniably, an ultra-competitive crazy person (See: Exhibits A, B and C), which means he’s definitely that way in all aspects of life. At this point, he’s basically like Michael Jordan: I’ll believe any story about his competitiveness. The latest incident involves a round of laser tag at a recent bachelor party — his bachelor party. We’ll let the folks at MLive describe the scene of the crime:
For instance, one of the activities at Harbaugh’s recent bachelor party (he’s been married twice) was laser tag. Everyone signed up for a name on an electronic scoresheet. He chose “Captain Comeback,” an homage to his playing days as an NFL quarterback. And from there, everyone went to work.
When the fake smoke cleared and the game wrapped, it was revealed that Captain Comeback recorded more “kills” than anyone else in the party. Harbaugh won. Because he always wins. But upon further examination of where each person’s shots came from, it became clear why he won in such a landslide.
“All his shots came against this 10-year-old kid,” laughs Eric Bakhtiari, who played for Harbaugh in college and in the NFL with the 49ers. “He just sat there, hunting this 10-year-old kid so he could win.
First of all, I’m going to assume the 10-year-old was not part of the bachelor party, and just ran into some bad luck in the form of a deranged lunatic. Second, this reminds me, my best friend’s son is doing a laser tag party for his birthday in a few weeks. The kids are all nine and ten years old. There is a 100% chance I go full Harbaugh on them. NO MERCY.
