The “Harbaugh x Herbert” relationship would definitely be sexy and very marketable, not just on the field.
There's “Hollywood Harbaugh” and “Hollywood Herbert,” all of which I've seen automatically get written down as we rack up both wins and hype. Hell, imagine them being Los Angeles royalty wearing classic white and black shirts and doing some “Hollywood Hogan x NWO” marketing gimmick. That would be very classic.
Los Angeles, you better not miss this. There's something great here.
