Super Bowl: Reliving 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh's acting career

Jim Harbaugh is playing the role of little brother Sunday when his 49ers take on the Baltimore Ravens and his big brother John in Super Bowl XLVII Sunday. Fortunately for the 49ers, Harbaugh's career as an actor was forgettable. So we'll provide a reminder.

  1.  A Screeching halt

  2. A familiar Harbaugh theme -- family -- dominated Jim's visit to "Saved By The Bell" in 1996.
  3. Talking about the Harbaugh's and failing to mention Jim played Screech's cousin on Saved by the Bell is missing the boat. #BiggestNews
  4. Is anyone going to ask Jim Harbaugh about his guest-star role on Saved By the Bell? "Did you get Super Bowl tickets for Screech?" #MediaDay
  5. Jim Harbaugh? You mean the actor who played Screech's cousin in Saved by the Bell is in the Super Bowl? Who's coaching next year? Matt Damon? youtube.com/watch?v=fuKrcjs...
  6. Character actor trapped in the body of a coach

  7. How many of you knew that Harbaugh played with the Cowboys? He was essentially Terry Bradshaw's backup here.
  8. Jim Harbaugh's Saved by the Bell cameo got a lot of press, but I have to say his Brisco County Jr. cameo was way better bit.ly/11gipLn
  9. Even Alex Smith sees the irony in Harbaugh's current commercial role of a man having someone else  step in for him.
  10. After all these years, Harbaugh is able to see the comedic value of his other career
  11. Proof that Jim Harbaugh has always sought the spotlight?
  12. Oh, there are even more old classic Harbaugh performances out there

  14. A performance two weeks ago that he's probably not proud of.
