theNose76 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I was looking through buffalonews.com and came across the "Around the League" section in the Sports - http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20050205/5000087.asp. Epitomizes in 2 paragraphs the difference between two of the leagues backs: • Atlanta Falcons running back Warrick Dunn was named the Walter Payton Man of the Year. He participates in a program that has helped 52 single moms become first-time homeowners by making the down payments on fully furnished homes in Atlanta, Tampa, Fla., and his hometown of Baton Rouge, La. • Baltimore Ravens running back Jamal Lewis reported to federal prison camp in Florida to serve a four-month sentence for using a cell phone to try to set up a cocaine deal. How convenient that Jamal has to start serving his sentence now, and will only miss mini camp. That will really teach him a lesson. Conversely, Dunn does not get enough attention for all of the great work he does as an NFL player. Definitely deserving of the Man of the Year in the NFL. The reason he does this for single mothers is because his mother never had a house, and was killed while on duty as a police officer about 10 years ago.
