This means a lot too me that 1. a colt player did this 2. it's the country my father is from and I have family from there. 3. He uses his time to help kids in other countries too

Always good to see players giving back and not forgetting where they came from.

I don't think Dewey was an orphan.

 

I like Dewey a lot.  From everything I've heard and read about him he is an intelligent, hard-working, down to earth guy and I think he will be the starting safety in 2015.

 

That being said, I understand helping the less fortunate... I do through my church every time I am able.  But why celebrate it so much?  Why not celebrate the football player that took his money from football and started a business and helps people better their own lives?  Manning probably employees hundreds in is Papa John's franchiese.  Roger Staubach got into real estate in the offseason when he played and turned it into one of Texas' largest real estate companies and employed hundreds or thousands and then sold it for $600 million.  Ken Dilger started a financial company.  Players like that should be celebrated as much if not more so.

And why not celebrate? He did a good thing. Is it better being negative and waiting for the next NFL player to screw up so we can celebrate then?

You're right, I should have phrased it differently... why is this type of thing the only off the field thing that fans celebrate?

You're asking for a mindful perspective that isn't common. Most see those that create jobs of employment as greedy self fulfilled businessmen that are doing it for their own pockets. Even though they are honestly a select few who don't throw their money away on drugs and other purposes. The people who focus on charities are seen as more of an icon because they are seen as sonpletely selfless even though some are fueled by the big tax breaks they receive.

It seems like it is too hard for a majority of the populace to think a bit more in depth so they blanket label... whatever floats everyone's boat :-)

I never thought he was an orphin and I don't dis agree with you but how many pro athletes do neither?  It's nice to see pro atheletes give back to their communities.  That was the main thing I was trying to say.

    • A lot is going to depend on the health of the secondary. Not a fan of the defense playing 10 yards off the WR either. 
    • Gus’s problem is that he rarely blitzes a qb and relies too much on the front 4 to put the pressure on the qb! Every qb has basically smoked a cigarette and taken a nap before a Colts defender can even breathe on them! Im not saying to blitz every play, just mix it up enough to get in the qbs head! Open gaps for lbs to get through, especially in the middle against slower pocket passing qbs. Gus has been around too long and will be too stubborn to change though!😒
    • Besides the Pacers shooting yesterday, what really stood out to me was they didn't wilt in the big moment of playing in a Game 7 at NY - that shows Mental toughness. Haliburton was playing like it was a just another regular season game and just doing his thing. Also, the Pacers weren't getting bullied inside, Turner and Pascal did the bullying for a change. They are finesse players that usually just care about scoring mostly but yesterday they were banging down low and played really aggressive. 
    • Yeah, Cus Bradley yes I said Cus I'm not a fan of his scheme if you want to call it that. So it doesn't matter who we have in the secondary it won't help. We could bring back these players in their youth again like Dion Sanders and Darrel Green and it wouldn't matter in my mind. I don't know why we hold on to a DC who has been 28 in total defense for two years. Bring in a DC with an innovative smart scheme that would confuse offenses. But what we have now is a defense that a JR high team could figure out. So yes the defense is a huge concern. We are going to have out-score teams which means our offense can make very little mistakes. 
    • Besides Shaq and Barkley, I forgot that Shannon Sharpe took the Pacers as well in this series. He is just rubbing it in towards Stephen A and Big Perk. He even said, come to Indy baby where they have a great team and great food, because NY is sitting at home now
