Who Needs Michael Vick? We've Got Ahman Green!

With the disgusting story of Michael Vick fresh on our minds, how about this. When Ahman Green, formerly with the Green Bay Packers, signed as a free agent with the Houston Texans he wanted jersey #30. But Jason Simmons had worn that jersey since the Texans began. They made a deal. It would cost Green $25,000 to be used to help someone. The two players decided to use it to help someone buy a house. Yesterday the deal was done. A single mother with a 7 year old autistic son was given the help to buy a home for her and her son.Even team owner Bob McNair helped with an additional $25,000. Regina Foster was picked from 5 finalists who had agreed to put $1500 toward the downpayment and contribute 100 hours of community service. Funny thing is, she said she knew nothing about football and was not a Texan fan, but "I am now" she said. She told the players that she would dedicate her son's room to the Texans. So Green told her that the team would donate Texans gear for it. Now isn't this a better story?
