Harbaugh meets the pope and gives him a helmet and some Jordans

Didn't he get kicked out of a store yesterday or the day before?

Harbaugh is pretty much the weirdest dude.

I'm pretty sure he has Asperger's or something.

I like to think this entire trip was a giant production to piss off Notre Dame

Harbaugh is one weird dude. Like most coaches are bit weird and the greats are almost all super intense nuts (excepting the OBC- he hated all year round but unless it was Saturday he probably just wanted to kick your arse then go work on his short game) but Jimmy is a step beyond that. Like you wonder if he looked up at the Sistine Chapel and then thought about a cool new play design to pull a safety into the box or something.

There's a fine line between getting attention - and this story is now all over the world news - and doing a stunt against...what a lot of people in the world think is a more important person than any President of any country...who has audiences with very few people and throughout history treat it like meeting God on earth. (I'm not Catholic btw)

Throughout the centuries of Rome's existence, the popes have regularly claimed to be divine. As the supposed successor of Peter, the Pope claims infallibility, the position of God on Earth, and ability to judge and excommunicate angels.

Pope John Paul II wrote that names like "Holy Father" are applicable to the Pope:

Have no fear when people call me the "Vicar of Christ," when they say to me "Holy Father," or "Your Holiness," or use titles similar to these, which seem even inimical to the Gospel.

In 1996 he also gave his ascent to calling the Pope "Lord" and "Christ on earth"

So its kinda creepy for some American college football thing - that's just weird to be a gift. I bet Catholics in Rome aren't happy of this probably perceived transgression of boundaries and respect.
