Crystal Trophies

I was never quite sure why the National Title in college football was made of crystal.

Alabama might be thinking the same thing right now. A father of one of the players on Saturday tripped on a rug beneath the podium. When all was said and done, the $30,000 trophy was nothing other than tiny shards.

There's a life lesson there. And this is one of those times I don't think I really have to spell it out.
