So, all I ever read about when it comes to football players are the cretinous things they do when they're not on the field. They're drunk, they use drugs, they get in fights, they got shot, they shoot, etc. Which is why it's very refreshing to read about two football players who made some very kind gestures.
1. Keith Bulluck gave out 9 $1,000 scholarships to Tennessee kids in honor of his fallen teammate, Steve McNair (#9). He did so despite the fact that he'll almost certainly be leaving the Titans.
2. Scott Fujita, who is definitely leaving the Saints for the Browns, got $82,000 in playoff winnings, and donated half of it to coastal restoration of New Orleans.
Sadly, it's become clear that most people who are public figures are nothing to emulate. But it's nice to see examples of when people step up to do the right thing.
