With all the bad news about people shooting themselves, etc., I figured some good news was appropriate.  Dude drops 19K to kids in Child Protective Services for X-mas gifts.

Always nice to see good news.

Class act indeed.

Toys R Us!  Good move.  WalMart sucks! :)

Nice to see reports of someone doing something good for a change.

$19,000 is very little to him but it will mean a lot to kids who would otherwise have no Christmas at all.  Good to see such a heartwarming gesture.  This guy is an elite receiver on the field and a class act off of it.

A real superstar would have wrapped them all himself... ;)

Andre = Class

Agreed.....I know I am in the minority but I hate Walmart. My company gives Walmart gift crads at Thanksgiving to all of the employees and because I refuse to shop there I give it to one of the girls in the office to buy canned goods with for our company Christmas food drive that we donate.

I'm really happy that Andre is doing this, but what I REALLY want for Christmas is for him to score some damn TDs for my fantasy team! ;D  He's been killing me this season.

I saw this floating around on Facebook.  Very cool move.  Hopefully this will inspire some of his peers to do the same...

After weeks of no production I finally benched him the week him blew up for 33 points. Grrr. If given the choice after last week's poor showing, would you start him or DeMarco Murray at flex? I already have AJ Green and Vincent Jackson at WR and Rice and TRich at RB. Sorry to derail the thread. -EK

I've given up on research for WR.  I started Gordon, from the Browns last week, BY ACCIDENT.  Dude hauled in over 30 points for me.  How does that happen in the real world?

What a strange fantasy season!  Sorry for the hijack!!! 

I have been scrounging for a RB all season.  Been riding sub-par numbers (10-14 a week) from my starting backs because Dez Bryant has been a beast and is carrying my team.

Sorry for the hijack!

I think more of them do than you know.  Not every time a player does something good, does he call his marketing agent to make sure it goes viral. Some just do it quietly. 

I do know I have read more stories about the NEP team and players doing good deeds than I have for all 31 other teams combined.  While it is possible that the NEP players and Kraft are more of humanitarians  than the other teams, I doubt that is the case, but simply that the local papers are much more likely to report that Tom Brady hosted a party for underprivileged kids than they are to report that Tannehill did.  And I suspect the Miami paper likewise is more likely to report about the deeds of Dolphins than the Pats.

They probaby do, but if more did because "they never thought of it before" it would be pretty cool.

Yeah....the Dolphins, I assume the rest of the NFL, as well, is always doing charity stuff, both individually and as a team.  TDMMC is involved in a charity thing for the Dolphins every single year.  When we do web weekend, part of it is some kind of volunteer work.

If Andre doesn't win the Walter Payton Award, the fix is in. Stay classy, Andre.

What Andre did was classy.  But $19k to charity isn't about to break any NFL records.

Ndamukong Suh - $2.6 million
Brady and his wife $1.5 million
Eli Manning and his wife $1 million.
