NFL: Super Bowl 47 on Sunday will mark the first-ever meeting between head coaching brothers.  Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh and San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh both know that only one of them will win.  For the losing side, John says it will be a bitter pill to swallow.

At a joint news conference Friday, both Harbaughs deflected the focus of the historic game from themselves to the players, but neither said they'd have a problem taking away the other's dream of winning a championship.

Player safety took the forefront Friday in the commissioner's annual pre-Super Bowl press conference.  In his state of the NFL address in New Orleans, Commissioner Roger Goodell says the league is leading the charge in dealing with the significance of head injuries.

Goodell says the NFL has taken great steps with rules changes and discipline enforcement to try and protect players from dangerous hits.  He adds he's disappointed to hear 78-percent of players don't trust their team doctors, but the league will add independent neurologists to the sidelines of NFL games to help teams make decisions on players with potential concussions.

Goodell also says the league's popularity continues to grow internationally, a possible 18-game schedule is still on the table and that HGH testing will likely be implemented before the start of next season.
