Jim Harbaugh became the subject of an absurd and hilarious story on Monday.
Pat Forde of Sports Illustrated wrote on the Michigan Wolverines and their head coach, who’s seen a lot of success over the past two seasons. Michigan has won back-to-back Big Ten titles, defeated rival Ohio State two years in a row, and clinched berths into the College Football Playoff in two consecutive years. Among the topics of discussion were the Wolverine football team and… lawn-mowing.
“Mowing the lawn is one of the great feelings I have in life,” Harbaugh told Forde, who tweeted the absurd quote. “Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh ranks among the richest Americans who mow their own lawns. And he wants to know why the youth of America isn’t out there with him cutting the grass,” Forde tweeted.

It’s a hobby, not a chore for me. It’s where I listen to new music, it’s where I putz around and talk to friends on the phone. Yard work is so mentally healthy https://t.co/EurcgqEbTp
