I don't care what you believe in. This is cool. I'm wondering how Harbaugh will top this one. My guess is negotiating peace in the Middle East when they make the trip to Israel. At some point after that, he'll probably be the first to discover aliens and be the Earth's first Ambassador to the Aliens. Because honestly, it wouldn't shock me if Harbaugh himself was an alien.

To many people, Israel is the definition of a tourist destination. It's almost the crossroads of the entire world. I've had a ton of friends go to Israel, on multiple occasions, and nothing has happened to them. 

But I see the point you're trying to make. I think it would be a cool idea, but I could see a lot of parents telling Harbaugh they will not allow their son to go, strictly for safety reasons.

I see where you're going with that, and unless you decide to go live in Greenland, you're never going to be truly safe. But the worst thing you can do, in my opinion, is let those kinds of people dictate where you go and how you live your life. The minute you do that, they've won. 

Granted, I'm not suggesting you go step into a warzone just because you can, but there is risk everywhere you go. Staying home and living in fear of what may happen is not even living at all. The people who want you to do that can go fuck themselves. 

This is teetering on politics, so I probably ought to stop.

Literally just got home from Israel, it not only an amazing tourist destination filled with beautiful landscapes (you can go from lush green mountains to desert in an hour drive) and some of the world most significant cultural/historical sights, but I can also there was not one moment I felt any less safe than being on a street corner is the US. It actually is the exact definition of a tourist destination.

Knowing Harbaugh there's probably a pair of khakis in there as well. " you can wear these anywhere your holiness."

Mork D'Antoni met with the Pastor of the Perry Assembly of God church. He offered the Pastor a MSU coffee mug and pencil set.  The Pastor respectfully declined. Coverage can be found on RCMB.

Pope Francis is a very well known fan of Argentina and Lionel Messi, and a huge fan of San Lorenzo, a professional football club in Argentina's top division.  I wonder if he gave Harbaugh the same shade as that Nigerian refugee about "throwball."

I'm sad to hear that Newsome and Makki didn't get a chance to sit with Harbaugh and have the chance to shake hands with the Pope. I know they said it wasn't guaranteed if there wasn't enough room, but I'm sure it was a bit of a let down after getting that close.

The Pope to Harbaugh, "Be still and wait on the Lord. You will be delivered from your trial and the tides will turn in the rivalry. For if God is for thee, then how could he be for them." To which Harbaugh replied, "Who's got it better than us!" The throng of newly baptized Michigan throwball supporters responded joyously, "Nessuno!!"

I'm looking forward to the SEC reaction. And to the unexpected boon for travel agents as 65 major college football programs disperse around the world next spring. Either that, or a new NCAA rule against giving gifts to religious leaders. For those of you hoping for a more ecclesiastical backfield, it's entirely possible the NCAA will rule that accepting Harbaugh's gifts has cost the Pope his amateur status.
