Buy Bill Cowher's Junk!
One of the many reasons it's good to be a famous sports figure: When you want to clear out your house of a bunch of useless, outdated junk, you can slap a "As Owned By ..." sticker on it, say it's for charity and look like a great guy, rather than just tossing everything out to the street corner and...
