papazoid Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 need to balance recent news with an NFL player doing something good: CINCINNATI -- Donations from Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still's jersey sales for charity have been incredibly strong all week. They've been so strong that Still tweeted Friday that after just four days of sales, he and the Bengals have raised about $400,000 for pediatric cancer research. He added that more than 5,000 of his jerseys have been bought since Monday night when the Bengals launched the jersey-sale campaign in hopes of bringing attention to an issue Still and his family are currently battling along with countless others. On Tuesday night, New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton heard about Still's story and the donation drive while driving home. He ended up buying 100 jerseys, paying for them out of his own pocket. A team official told ESPN.com those jerseys will be distributed to kids at Cincinnati's children's hospital and local Boys and Girls Clubs. The Bengals also have a way on the pro shop's website for non-Bengals fans to spend the $100 on the donation without having to buy a Bengals jersey. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11514383/devon-cincinnati-bengals-charity-efforts-had-strong-results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Uh-oh, another "balance" thread. Is this one going to turn out like the player who rescued his nephew from drowning? Edited September 13, 2014 by MDH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
