Jim Harbaugh And The 11 Most Awkward Sports Interviews Ever

Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh did his very best to make the head of ESPN's Colin Cowherd explode on Wednesday morning, purposefully using short, mocking answers to counteract pointed questions by the notoriously long-winded Cowherd.

You can view the chair-squirming interview in its entirety above, but yesterday's fun times between Cowherd and Harbaugh got us thinking about the most uncomfortable sports interviews that we've ever had the (dis)pleasure of watching. With the above Harbaugh fiasco included as #1, here's our list of the 11 most awkward sports interviews ever.
