Ray Horton, ex-secondary coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers and new defensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals, did a pretty generous thing recently: he sold his 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 to a long-time cafeteria worker that served the coaches and staff for just $20. The car is worth closer to $17,000 on the open market, so even though it's almost 13 years old and has 64,000 miles on the clock, it's a rather generous parting gift from Horton. As for Maurice "Mo" Matthews, the worker that received the car, he can barely believe his luck. According to ThePostGame, the transfer occurred as...
