Well, let' throw another log on that fire:

Tennessee Titans defensive end Jevon Kearse has been arrested and charged with driving under the influence following a traffic stop near the Vanderbilt University campus.

But if you want a more upbeat story, here is one that should have been heard about more:

Ex-New York Giants lineman George Martin went through 24 pairs of shoes and lost 40 pounds before finishing his cross-country walk Saturday, raising $2 million along the way for sick 9/11 rescue workers.

The co-captain of the 1987 Super Bowl champions said he considered it a privilege to walk on behalf of the 9/11 first responders. He called them far more heroic than any professional athlete.

Here is a link from Peter King's Monday Morning Quarterback where he wrote about Martin's walk when Martin crossed the 1/3 point.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...k15/index.html


You only ever hear about the bad things players do, and probably because it means there may be a suspension or fine coming. It would be nice if there was some way to reward the players doing good works. Not that they do it for the reward, but it would be good to offset all the scandal in sports (and this is true of all sports)
