SANTA CLARA (AP) — Jim Harbaugh's aggressive, second-long handshake with Lions coach Jim Schwartz and accompanying back slap have talk radio all atwitter, and Twitter, too. And, boy, were his 49ers players entertained by it all. San Francisco's emotional first- year coach is winning, and celebrat- ing the team's turnaround in his unique style — even if he rubs peo- ple the wrong way in the process. The Niners are 5-1 heading into their bye week after a 25-19 victory over the previously unbeaten Lions. ''We're not here today to throw any salvos. There's not going to be any salvos coming out of the West Coast,'' Harbaugh said Monday. Harbaugh spoke to NFL Execu- tive Vice President Ray Anderson and vowed to improve his own postgame behavior. The NFL announced neither coach would be fined for their altercation at the end of the game. Still, Harbaugh doesn't plan to say sorry. ''Personally I can get better at the postgame handshake and we'll attempt to do that,'' Harbaugh said. ''I don't think that there's any reason for an apology. We spoke about it after the game, and at some point we will talk in private. Apologies always seem to me like excuses.'' Harbaugh insisted before the trip back to Michigan, where he starred in Ann Arbor for the Wolverines, that he has no friends. He probably didn't make any at Ford Field. On Monday, the coach said he is unconcerned about whether coaches like him or not, saying, ''Mostly we care about our team and what they think of our team.'' His team appreciates the loyalty and hard-nosed approach. Always. ''It's something you don't see D NEWSAILY RED BLUFF TEHAMACOUNTY T H E V O I C E O F T E H A M A C O U N T Y S I N C E 1 8 8 5 every game. As a player, I was kind of pumped up about it,'' left tackle Joe Staley said, chuckling. ''They weren't fighting, they were just get- ting after it. It's an intense game and football is an intense sport with high emotions. It's just something that happened at the end of the game. Obviously you don't want to see a fight happen, but there was some yelling and stuff.'' And this isn't the first time. Something similar happened during his Stanford days with former 6:30 p.m. 15 20 Sports EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — For a team in turmoil, this was one therapeutic win. It certainly wasn't pretty or convincing. But it did the job for Rex Ryan and his feuding New York Jets. Darrelle Revis ran back the first of his two interceptions 100 yards for a touchdown and the Jets did just enough to beat the winless Miami Dolphins 24-6 on Monday night and end a three- game losing streak. Mark Sanchez threw a 38- yard touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes and ran for another score as the Jets — who called this a ''must-win'' game — capped a tough week by pulling out a victory and sending the Dolphins to their fifth straight loss. With the losses mounting and the season already on the brink of spinning out of control for the Jets (3-3), they traded wide receiver Derrick Mason to Houston and then had to deal with some infighting as Holmes called out the offensive line for not giving Sanchez enough time to throw deep. Right guard Brandon Moore fired back, saying those comments could have a ''fragmenting effect'' and were not what a cap- tain, which Holmes is, should do. Ryan, who insisted his team's Super Bowl 6:30 p.m. 7 p.m. hopes would not be undone by locker room disharmony, even sent Holmes and Moore out as the captains for the pregame coin toss. Turns out, this game against the Dolphins (0- 5) came at just the right time as the Jets got their season back on track. Next up for New York: the San Diego Chargers (4-1) on Sunday, with a chance to head into the bye on a high note. Sanchez, who has also taken lots of criticism, finished 14 of 25 for 201 yards and the touch- down pass to Holmes, and Shonn Greene ran for 74 yards on 21 carries. Meanwhile, the Dolphins are 0-5 to start a sea- son for the second time in five years, and things are looking an awful lot like 2007 — when Miami went 1-15. The heat on Dolphins coach Tony Sparano could intensify now, with some already calling for his job before this game. Wide receiver Brandon Marshall couldn't even live up to his promise to get ejected sometime in the second quarter. He also said he might even start a fight with Jets linebacker Bart Scott or cor- MCT photo Darrelle Revis returns an interception against the Miami Dolphins, Monday night. nerback Antonio Cromartie. It was all talk. But that's what many fans and media were wondering of the struggling Jets. And, they did little to con- vince them otherwise as their anemic offense went three-and-out on their first two possessions. The Dolphins got on the scoreboard first on Dan Carpenter's 23-yard field goal midway through the opening quarter. After a 20-yard catch by Marshall put the ball at the 10, Daniel Thomas ran for 5 yards before Matt Moore threw incomplete into the end zone to Anthony Fasano and Marshall on consecutive plays as Miami settled for the field goal. Moore, starting for the injured Chad Henne who's out for the season after shoulder surgery, was 16 of 34 for 204 yards and two interceptions. Marshall had six catches for 109 yards, but was kept out of the end zone. Reggie Bush, who left in the third quarter with his right arm hanging at his side — it was announced as a neck injury — had 71 yards rushing and two catches for 7 yards. The night appeared to be taking an awful turn for the Jets when they lost the ensuing kickoff after the field goal when it bounced off blocker Garrett McIntyre — standing in front of returner Joe McKnight — and was recovered by Austin Spitler. After two runs by Thomas for 3 yards, Moore threw at Marshall in the end zone, but Revis stepped in front of the pass and returned it untouched 100 yards to make it 7-3. Carpenter's 21-yard field goal early in the second quarter made it 7-6, capping a nine-play, 77-yard drive that was helped by Marshall's 46-yard catch along the left sideline. 49ers proceed into bye week with emotional coach Southern California coach and now Seahawks chief Pete Carroll. They have become bitter rivals. In 2009, Carroll asked Harbaugh, ''What's your deal?'' when they met at midfield after No. 25 Stanford ran up the score on 11th-ranked USC in a surprising 55-21 rout, even attempting a 2-point conversion with the game way out of reach. ''It looked like a hearty greeting to me,'' Carroll said Monday of Har- baugh's handshake in Detroit, draw- ing a chuckle. Harbaugh doesn't much care about what others think. He is all about winning, whatever it takes. Yet back in the locker room Sun- day after the skirmish, the coach told his players he wished it hadn't hap- pened and taken the focus off their monumental victory. ''He's a competitor,'' said tight end Delanie Walker, who scored the go-ahead touchdown with 1:56 left. ''And that shows a lot, you know. He was very emotional. It was a big win, we overcame a whole lot in the game and he kinda felt that — you know, he didn't play, but he coached the game. So I could see him acting the way he acted. Really wasn't no big thing, it was just a rough hand- shake, and I think it got carried out of proportion. But, you know, when he got in the locker room he talked about it, he wished it never hap- pened because he didn't want to take away from our win.'' Quarterback Alex Smith spent the moments after the game ended talking to former 49ers QB Shaun Hill, along with Staley. They all hugged. ''We had a slightly less physical handshake,'' Smith joked. ''This team loves and appreciates the fact that our coach is fiery and a com- petitor. We like that. I don't think any of us hold that against him for what happened.'' Schwartz on Monday said he regretted the incident, in which he chased down Harbaugh after the infamous postgame semi-greeting but was held back by players and team personnel. Harbaugh had at least one sup- porter outside Santa Clara team headquarters, 3,000 miles away at that: big brother and Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh. ''I can tell you this, whoever was right or wrong, I know whose side I'm on. The same side I've always taken,'' John Harbaugh said Mon- day. ''You know what? Everybody's got a lot to learn. I guess right now he's 5-1. If the biggest lesson he has right now is how to shake hands postgame after a victory, he's doing OK.'' Some protocols of etiquette aren't clearly defined. Titans coach Mike Munchak, who only saw a replay of the Har- baugh-Schwartz exchange, acknowledged that when people are passionate things like this can hap- pen. ''I don't even know what the rules are and all that,'' Munchak said. ''When I became a head coach, there were things I didn't know. I didn't even know if before the game you were supposed to go and shake. I was a line coach and I never went out to shake anyone's hand, or when I was a player, I never went out to shake anyone's hand. I very rarely like to do it after the game. ''It's good sportsmanship obvi- ously, but I think everyone realizes how competitive we are, how hard you work. It's hard after a game to work that hard, 100 hours a week or something, especially some of the coaches and not play well or play poorly. But obviously, you could suck it up and go over and shake a guy's hand for 5 seconds or 10 sec- onds.'' Bengals coach Marvin Lewis remembers Baltimore's lunchtime basketball games in 1998 with Jim Harbaugh and then-defensive coach Schwartz during Harbaugh's play- ing days for the Ravens. ''I think Jimmy and Jim both, I'm sure, wish things would have been different and it doesn't have to become such a big thing. But really, (there's) not much to it,'' Lewis said. ''Schwartzy and I would be playing against Harbaugh all the time and we'd play lunchtime basketball and Jimmy was playing for us. Two competitive guys.'' San Francisco's players talked about the run-in on the flight home from the Motor City, even with Har- baugh sitting among them in coach class and not in his first-class seat. ''It's almost like he's still playing football. He's with us,'' defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois said. ''Just to see a coach fired up, to see him jumping with you, slapping five, patting you on the back, telling you good job and stuff and he's into the game, that's our energy right there. We thrive off of him. It seems like he's still playing football but he's just doing it from the coach's position.'' Campbell to undergo surgery ALAMEDA (AP) — Jason Campbell was set to have surgery on his broken collarbone, Kyle Boller prepared to take over as the starting quarterback in Oakland and coach Hue Jackson was searching for another quarterback who can either supplant Boller or serve as a backup. ''If you're a quarterback out there and you want to come play for the Raiders give us a call,'' Jackson said Monday. The Raiders have lost Campbell for a significant period of time to the broken collarbone suffered when he landed on his shoulder at the end of a scramble late in the first half against Cleveland on Sunday. Campbell hopes to recover in time to play down the stretch for the Raiders this season but Oakland needs help now with Boller and rookie Terrelle Pryor the only quar- terbacks on the roster. ''It was a tough break,'' Camp- bell said. ''I'm going to stay posi- tive. If everything goes right I could be back in six weeks.'' The Raiders have looked into possible trades and free agent sign- ings, although one possible option was eliminated Monday. Oakland contacted former Jacksonville quar- terback David Garrard, but Gar- rard's agent confirmed a Fox Sports report that the quarterback will need back surgery and would not be avail- able for four to six weeks. Other free-agent possibilities include Trent Edwards, who was in Oakland's camp this summer; Char- lie Frye, who spent the past two sea- sons with the Raiders; and former Baltimore quarterbacks Troy Smith and Todd Bouman, who have worked with Jackson on the Ravens. Oakland also could look into mak- ing a trade for Cincinnati's Carson Palmer or Denver's Kyle Orton before Tuesday's deadline. ''You just kind of rattle all the trees and see everything that's out there, what best fits us,'' Jackson said. ''You've got to have somebody that can kind of hit the ground run- ning, whether the guy can be a starter or the guy can be a backup because if not, it's going to take two or three weeks, or four to get ingrained in the system and you've fallen behind.'' The injury spoiled what had been looking like a breakthrough season for Campbell. He had completed 60.6 percent of his passes for 1,170 yards and six touchdowns for a pass- er rating of 84.2. 1B Tuesday October 18, 2011 Revis' INTs help lead Jets past Dolphins
