Horton is a good dude.

Great Story about a gift Horton gave to a Pitt Employee before he left.

Wow, I like Horton already

Just saw this....way cool. Still do not know what he can do for sure with a defense, but Horton has a stack of brownie points right now in my book.

He gave a Mercedes convertible to the guy who had been serving his lunch at the Steelers facility...well,...for $20 bucks.

Ha, ya beat me by 2 minutes!!

That is an awesome story and an incredible thing for Horton to do. Unless he totally botches our defense Horton has a new fan over here.

 

[Mitch]

Awesome!

 

[BigRedRage]

blocked at work, oh well. Sounds like Oaken summed it up anyway

 

[Mainstreet]

Well, we know Horton has a good heart. I'm liking him as a person already.

 

[BigRedRage]

Message to Horton - I like jeeps.

 

[desertdawg]

That's the way to go out!

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Good story.

 

[CardsFan88]

Hope he can afford the insurance. But yeah, great thing to do.

 

[Longcolts]

That is really cool of him. I am now a huge fan of Ray Horton!

 

[LVCARDFREAK]

Its cool and all......

but now horton and the cafeteria worker will have to file a gift tax return with the IRS for the excessive gift.

No they wont. It wasnt a gift. He bought it outright.

 

[LVCARDFREAK]

haha true.

Im sure the IRS will believe the car was only worth $20.00

 

[Reddog]

Yea tell the guy that gave Derick Jeter's ball back. If that car is worth $40k he can gift something like $20 but anything under the bluebook value will be taxed. Too bad good dudes get publicity in new papers that the IRS reads.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

I love it. (What Horton did not the tax talk.)

This says a lot about what kind of man Horton is. Welcome to AZ coach. I think a lot of us are about to fall in love.

 

[Cheesebeef]

you know the saying: "nice guys finish last"? I'm okay with him being this way off the field, but let's hope ON IT he's the meanest SOB we've ever seen.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Listened to an interview with him and Jurecki this afternoon. I was impressed.

I heard the same interview. I missed the first minute and didn't know who was talking. I was thinking, "Who is this guy? I LIKE him!" Terrific surprise to realise it was Horton.

 

[Jersey Girl]

I have loved EVERYTHING I have read about this guy since we hired him. I have high hopes.

Ditto that, sistah!

"The Cafeteria worker then paid it forward by holding a free Sloppy Joe Night at the youth shelter". JK, that's a great story.
