God I hate Tom Jones, but that's a good article.

Parents are the reason for the participation trophies.

No doubt, and further drives home TJ's point ...

A few more views, including one from Pittsburgh, which makes Harrison look like even a bigger knucklehead because of what his kids actually got the trophies for ... and the last USA Today one, where the author doesn't even realize she contradicts herself.

Harrison is an idiot.

He also refused to go to the White House after the Steelers SB win, saying the president wouldn't invite them if they didn't win...

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
