Oh no he didn’t! Over the past few years, one of the most popular insults in sports has been calling an opponent a “fake tough guy.” Thanks to Baltimore Ravens cornerback Cary Williams (No. 29 in above photo), the phrase was used once again after America’s biggest sporting event.
The Ravens were able to score points against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII, which is something teams had very little success doing during the regular season. After the game, Williams called out the Niners for being phonies.
“The 49ers are pretenders,” he said, according to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun. “They’re fake tough guys. They’re a push you in the back type of team.”
There was a lot of chippiness and pushing and shoving throughout the game, but it was the Super Bowl. Rather than talking smack about his opponent and winning without class, Williams probably should have been counting his blessings that he wasn’t ejected after shoving a referee in the first half.
Personally, I’m not a fan of players rubbing salt in the wound after beating a team. The Ravens have done it before as well, with Terrell Suggs unloading on the New England Patriots after the AFC Championship Game. When you beat a team, there isn’t much you have to say. That’s the idea behind letting the play do the talking.

Rice, who played the first 16 of his 21 NFL seasons with San Francisco from 1985-2000, holds virtually every significant receiving mark. That includes most career receptions (1,549); yards receiving (22,895); total touchdowns (208); and combined net yards (23,546) in his career with San Francisco, Oakland and Seattle.
Let's be alittle more careful with the word the GREATEST. This is not counting the three rings that Jerry has accomplished. Jerry ran every route not just ups. Jerry Rice blocked. He never took a play off.
I just can't believe that 2 brothers can be so different.
1.)John Harbaugh is the definition of class and Jim is the definition of NO class. The Ravens arrived in New Orleans looking like they were on a Business trip, Suit, Ties the epitomy of Class. The 49's showed up like they were going prospecting. Not a tie on the plane. Oh! maybe the Pilot.
2) John Harbaugh gives the credit to his players, his coaches, even the 12th Man- the Baltimore Fans. He is full of Praise for his Brother and his ability as a coach. All Jim wants to do during his interviews is complain about the"NO CALL FOR HOLDING." He may be a good coach, but just like Belichek, Pete Carroll, and Tom Brady ~ he is a whinning Little Boy who has a lot of growing up to do. I am sure if it hadn't been his brother on the other side of the field and he lost he wouldn't have walked to the middle for the congratulatory handshake after the game. That's just the kind of POOR Sport that his is.
As far a Jim H being a whiner: you don't seem to understand the difference between intensity and passion and whining. Grow up little person
plus come back when you win 5 super bowls. you are the most outrageous ,ignorant, and just flat out no class bum i've ever read here.. stay where you are and ray will protect you. Hope john gets invited to the AT and T like Billecheck did last year , like to ask his real opinion of you murdering supporter fans.

Regardless of cheapshots (whatever), 'bad' officiating (yeah, right), blackouts or cockroaches in the locker room, if the 49ers had played better they would have won, simple as that. Analyze it any way you please; when the clock hit zero, the Ravens had scored 34 points and the 49ers had scored 31 points. That is the ONLY reason the Ravens won and the 49ers lost.
Hey, it's also just your opinion and Carey Williams has an opinion too. Me too.
The 49ers could not put it in there with the world championship on the line. That's all.
1st and goal from the 7.
Also apparent from the very start of the game was the 49ers were put off guard by not being able to push the Ravens around like they're usued to more or less as part of their game plan. Hardly, as evidenced by the first half which reminded me of the Ravens Pats game. The Ravens strapped it on the Pats, like it or not. Same here 1st half.
Being a great team on the way to being even better, the 49ers will no doubt be back soon enough.
Oh yeah, and John coached way better than Jim.
It was obvious to me that the zeebs had been told by the NFL brass to "let them play" by not throwing flags on punches in pileups, late hits and hits "just" out of bounds - and, of course, fighting. And I think the players got the message pretty early on, because their behavior would have resulted - during the regular season - in about 150 unsportsmanlike penalties. But they couldn't very well have multiple flags every other play in the Super Bowl. If nothing else, the TV people wouldn't've stood for it. I've watched every single Super Bowl, since before they were CALLED Super Bowls, and this was by FAR the dirtiest, most out-of-control game so far.
I am no 49ers fan, but I was rooting for the 49ers to shut Lewis and his loud mouth losers. Now we have to llisten to these idiots brag all summer long....
Ray Lewis was never convicted of a crime. He did not kill anyone. Suggs and Williams may have spoken out of turn.
But at least they didn't post tweets on anyones page after their brother died stating that it was a "Blessing he died".
Those two players called it as they saw it. Tom Brady is definitely a cry baby ~ and so are the 49's and especially thier coach.
To say that we did deserve to win ~ incredible. Joe Flacco played has played every game since he became our quarter back. Since he teamed up with John Harbaugh we have gone to the play offs all 5 years. We one all 4 games that we needed to win. 11 completed passes for touch downs, no interceptions. All because of his talent and the players around him. That is an ELITE team. And guess what , they have the right to brag. And not only that - Their first ever draft pick made it to the Hall of Fame this weekend on his first year of eligibility. way to go J.O.
